Several shades of Louis Vuitton's $160 lipsticks are already selling out, proof that heritage brands can flex into new categories. By contrast, Alo's move into high-end leather bags feels like a bigger gamble. The wellness baddie fit is already complete with a Chanel, Louis V, or Hermès on the arm. Can Alo really rewrite that code? Or in TikTok terms: "Lulu who? Alo me or Louis V?" The real question is whether Alo can level up from leggings to high-end accessories. Hosted by Ausha.

I wanted to record this for a while as a statement of appreciation and a response to how the term streetwear has been used to diminish. When Recho from The Cutting Room Floor called Noah a streetwear brand and the founder flinched, it reminded me how often brands resist the label.

In this episode, I draw an arc between Pharrell, The Clipse, hip hop, and Louis Vuitton. I highlight the long standing connection between hip hop, wealth, and menswear . It is about more than fashion. It is an acknowledgment that hip hop is global and many artists are high net worth individuals. They are not just product placement. They are the clientele.

Michael Rider’s Celine Spring 2026 collection delivered chic opulence with layered styling and thoughtful nods to past creative eras. On the marketing side, Celine’s ongoing no-comments policy on Instagram has me thinking. what’s the strategy behind the silence? Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Jonathan Anderson’s debut as Dior’s new creative director felt like a masterclass in references, savoir-faire, and intentional design. To me, it was a display of mindful creativity at its finest.
