Ludovic de Saint Sernin collaborates with Zara

Zara and Ludovic de Saint Sernin have joined forces to release a collection spanning women's, men's and beauty. The lineup features Ludovic de Saint Sernin's signature motifs, construction details and silhouettes, now reinterpreted for a global audience. An accompanying campaign (pictured above), photographed by Gordon von Steiner, stars models Alex Consani and Amelia Gray. Zara x Ludovic de Saint Sernin will be available to shop starting Nov. 17 on zara.com and at select stores worldwide. {Fashionista Inbox}

Nike commits to using recycled materials

Nike has signed multi-year agreements with textile-to-textile recycling startups Syre and Loop Industries, committing to further integrate recycled materials into its core performance lines. Specifically, Loop will supply Twist™, its virgin-quality circular polyester resin made exclusively from textile waste, while Syre will be Nike's lead strategic supplier for textile-to-textile recycled polyester. "Innovation is at the heart of Nike's DNA and textile-to-textile recycled polyester is essential in our ambition to design and produce breakthrough products that both perform to the highest standards that our athletes expect and are more sustainable at the same time," Sitora Muzafarova, Nike's materials supply chain vice president, said in a press statement. {Syre/Loop}

Black-owned beauty brands turn to TikTok Shop

Black-owned beauty brands are increasingly turning to TikTok Shop to platform their businesses. The social channel offers a low-cost way to achieve high brand awareness and visibility, which often translates into sales. TikTok Shop also cultivates a strong community and encourages engagement. This development comes at a time when funding and retail commitments to Black-owned brands have dwindled and the Trump administration is spearheading an anti-DEI campaign. {WWD/paywalled}

The designer and non-profit saving gay sheep

Couturier Michael Schmidt has teamed up with German nonprofit Rainbow Wool and the LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr to save non-mating sheep (rams who decline to mate with ewes and are sent to the slaughterhouse). The trio is rescuing these "gay sheep," cultivating their wool and creating a 37-piece knitwear collection, which will be available to shop at the first-ever Rainbow Wool fashion show. "I don't view this really as fashion," Mr. Schmidt told the New York Times. "I view it as an art project. It's selling an idea more than a collection of clothing, and the idea it's selling is that homosexuality is not only part of the human condition, but of the animal world. That puts the lie to this concept that being gay is a choice. It's part of nature." {The New York Times/paywalled}

Coty subsidiary sues Gucci and Kering over beauty licenses

Following Kering's sale of its beauty division to L'Oréal, a Coty Inc. subsidiary is suing the luxury conglomerate and Gucci. HFC Prestige International Operations Switzerland Sàrl, a subsidiary of Coty, has filed a lawsuit against Gucci America Inc., Guccio Gucci SpA and Kering SA, though what it specifically alleges has yet to be revealed. Coty currently holds the license to produce Gucci's beauty and fragrance lines, but, per Kering Beauty's sale terms, L'Oréal will hold the exclusive license upon Coty's license expiration. {WWD/paywalled} 

West Africa emerges as a manufacturing hub

A wave of brands are diversifying beyond Asian-centric supply chains and moving their operations to West Africa. The shift is accelerated by trade tensions and tariffs. It's also an opportunity to spotlight the region's rich textiles heritage on a global stage. However, the move comes with many challenges, including the risk of weak labor regulations, prioritizing cost over conditions, a lack of a union presence and an underdeveloped manufacturing infrastructure. {Vogue Business/paywalled}

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips March 28, 2025 at 08:30PM

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Lilis Instant Peel, $92, available here Photo: Courtesy of Lilis Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
