📰 How Caroline Zimbalist Is Making Her One-of-a-Kind Bioplastic Designs More Accessible ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Since expanding her abstract sculptural work into a wearable line of art in 2022, Caroline Zimbalist has learned a lot about adapting to her customer base — both in the fine art world and fashion space. "I feel that the customer who's purchasing my art is an elevated customer looking for elevated wear," the designer told Fashionista at her Thursday afternoon New York Fashion Week presentation ( her first time on the official CFDA calendar! ). "The vessels [her signature vases made from bio-plastics and sold at the Whitney Museum] really read luxury, so I felt that the fabrication should also be cohesive to that." For the last few years, Zimbalist's brand has been almost exclusively selling pieces made from the unique biomaterial recipe she developed, including jewelry and custom items such as chestplates and gowns. As special as t...

Susan Alexandra Takes Her Signature Kitsch Uptown With New Madison Ave Boutique – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips February 13, 2026 at 11:40PM

📰 Susan Alexandra Takes Her Signature Kitsch Uptown With New Madison Ave Boutique ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Susan Korn has a local butcher to thank for her Madison Avenue storefront. The accessories designer behind the viral indie brand Susan Alexandra manifested the Upper East Side boutique of her dreams in what she might call a "magic New York City moment." "We put in a bid on this little jewel box space," Korn told Fashionista. "Instead, they went with a client that has a national footprint. It was devastating." Months later, Korn realized the property was still on the market. "We reached out to the landlord and he was like, 'This is kismet,'" she said. The building's owner, whose family has managed businesses on the Upper East Side since the 1940s — including a local staple, Lobel's Prime Meats — had a change of heart. "He said, 'I feel like it's the best thing for the neighborhood to keep it a sma...

A New Era Era of Maximalist Jewelry Is Upon Us – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips February 13, 2026 at 07:15PM

📰 A New Era Era of Maximalist Jewelry Is Upon Us ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: "Jewelry in 2026 feels sculptural, statement-making and personal," says Jillian Sassone, founder of Marrow Fine Jewelry. The rising trends in necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings are all about maximalism and individuality. And that marks a big change in the market.  "A few years ago, the focus was on pieces that were minimal, clean and very polished. But now people want pieces that feel collected, expressive and a little unexpected," she explains. "Layering, stacking, mixing textures and playing with bold shapes is becoming the norm; colorful gemstones and organic, fluid forms are taking the spotlight in a way we haven't really seen before." Ashley Moubayed, the creative director and founder of indie jewelry brand Don't Let Disco, echoes the idea that pieces need to feel special in 2026. "I think people are craving connection, to history, to touch, to pr...

📰 Christian Siriano Escapes to a Dreamy Fantasy World for Fall 2026 ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Even though we're less than two months into 2026, there's already a lot the world is dealing with. The retail landscape is still unstable, inflation remains high and the politically charged state of the country continues to intensify. (After all, there's a reason the NYFW street style crowd is flaunting "Ice Out" pins.) Designer Christian Siriano has been feeling the anxiety all too much.  "I honestly just felt like I needed to be somewhere else," he told Fashionista backstage before his Fall 2026 show. "I really felt stifled, and like we're all just going through so much." He knew showgoers could use an escape — and an escape he offered. As usual, the brand's eveningwear lineup offers the most glamour and drama, such as the runway show's closing lineup of voluminous gowns. But it also offers glitz in the form of sculpted sequi...
