FASHION: VIDEO GAME-IFICATION
Video games are quietly shaping spring 2026 fashion, influencing everything from bold color palettes to futuristic silhouettes and playful styling choices. Designers are pulling from digital worlds to create clothes that feel immersive, expressive, and a little escapist, without veering into costume territory. Think Fortnite skin, sans cartoon vibe. This means we can expect to see new designs that are imaginative, interactive, and reflective of how culture now lives both online and off.
BUSINESS: THE WOMAN BEHIND THE $1B RHODE DEAL
A JPMorgan dealmaker who helped sell Hailey Bieber’s Rhode for $1B says beauty’s boom isn’t slowing down—and 2026 could be even bigger. According to Fei-Fei Zhang, the brands that win aren’t just viral; they pair strong identity and loyalty with scale, profitability, and staying power. In other words: social buzz opens the door, but durable business fundamentals close the deal.
LIFESTYLE: A TRANSFORMATION IS COMING
You can expect quite the changes to come forth this year as 2026 is the year of the snake. This means it’s associated with transformation, intuition, and quiet confidence, AKA your year to shine. Better put: thoughtful decisions, long-term planning, and embracing change with intention rather than force, are the way to go. You may also feel the desire to move strategically, trust your instincts more, and shed what no longer fits as you step into something more refined.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity."
