Emily's in Rome with a new bob and bolder style. We unpack Season 5 of Emily in Paris: why costume designer Marylin Fitoussi's maximalism resonates despite the criticism and what Emily's fashion fantasy really represents.

Then: New Year's Eve traditions around the world. Red underwear in Italy, white in Brazil, polka dots in the Philippines. Why does what we wear at midnight matter so much?

Finally: 2025 in review. Labubu charms on luxury bags, the great creative director reshuffle (Blazy at Chanel! Anderson at Dior!), denim wars, and fashion's year of beautiful contradictions.

Life is too short to wear boring clothes - or have boring conversations about them.

’Tis the season for big campaigns, bold sweaters, and knitwear diplomacy. In this Style Signals holiday special, we cut through the festive fashion fog to highlight the subtle style signals shaping the season from nostalgia to cozy-core. Plus the luxe tier: Burberry’s joyfully chic heritage, Dior’s cinematic fantasy, and Tiffany’s perfectly engineered giftability.

We also dive into how AI is quietly rewriting gift shopping in 2025 promising smarter picks, less overwhelm, and demanding a new etiquette around letting algorithms curate your emotional labor. And yes, we get into the cultural renaissance of the Ugly Christmas Sweater (now fully post-ironic) as well as the rise of matching PJ pageantry.

And because it’s not December without a little screen-induced escapism, we break down the holiday film style effect—why the soft-lit, scarf-swept, Nancy-Meyers-adjacent aesthetic still shapes how we dress, shop, and imagine our own festive main-character moments in films including Champagne Problems and The Holiday.

What makes fashion valuable in 2025? It might not be what you think.

In this episode, we explore three fashion moments that reveal how we're collectively renegotiating what clothing means -- from the runway to our closets to our screens.

First, we examine shows like All's Fair and And Just Like That, where fashion isn't just part of the story, it IS the story. These are masquerading as legal dramas or dating chronicles but they're really serialized lookbooks designed for groups of female friends to screenshot, discuss, and dissect together. We're calling it fashion as social infrastructure, and it's changing what "power dressing" even means.

Then, the Ludovic de Saint Sernin x Zara collaboration. Yes, another luxury designer partnering with fast fashion but why does it feel so... expected? We dig into why high-low mixing has gone from transgressive to tired, how thrifting and resale have flattened fashion hierarchy, and what this means for your wardrobe.

Finally, Issey Miyake meets Apple. When heritage fashion houses design tech accessories, where does fashion authority actually live?

The through-line? Fashion value is being completely recalibrated. Price points, brand hierarchies, and aspirational codes are all being renegotiated -- and whether you're a fashion obsessive or just trying to get dressed in the morning, this shift affects you.

Join us as we decode what's really happening when the old rules stop applying.
