Hot off the press: The latest in fashion
Saks Global secures $1.75B and a new CEO, but will the luxury retailer thrive in Chapter 11?
Saks Global is making a bold move in the luxury retail landscape after securing $1.75 billion in fresh financing and appointing Geoffroy van Raemdonck, formerly CEO of Neiman Marcus Group, as its new Chief Executive Officer. The company entered voluntary Chapter 11, but stressed that Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks OFF 5TH, Last Call and Horchow stores (plus ecommerce) remain open as usual. To support this new chapter, van Raemdonck has tapped familiar luxury talent, naming Darcy Penick as President & Chief Commercial Officer and Lana Todorovich as Chief of Global Brand Partnerships.
Will it work? Honestly, the timing makes sense. Luxury retail is in a strange moment; shoppers still crave prestige brands, but expectations around digital shopping, personalization, and high-touch experiences have changed fast. With fresh financing, leadership that already understands this space, and a mandate to streamline and modernize, Saks Global actually has a real shot at turning this restructuring into a comeback story. But like any turnaround, the success will hinge on execution: keeping luxury customers feeling seen (and spoiled), while quietly fixing the parts of the business that need it most.
Hot new launches and campaigns that are generating buzz
Balenciaga teams up with the NBA for a limited-edition capsule
Balenciaga is exploring basketball culture for its latest move, unveiling a limited-edition capsule with the NBA under Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli. Dropping January 15, 2026, in select boutiques and online, the collection blends the house’s body-conscious tailoring and oversized sports silhouettes with classic NBA energy. Think leather varsity jackets, satin track sets, Japanese denim, tees and accessories for all genders, finished in electric blue, scarlet and white pulled from the NBA logo, grounded with Balenciaga’s signature black. Each piece carries the number 10 (a nod to Avenue George V, the brand’s historic Paris address), plus Balenciaga and NBA iconography side by side. For a house that loves unexpected cultural mash-ups, this partnership feels right on brand, elevating athletic style through a couture lens while honouring the league that’s shaped global sports culture since 1946.
NikeSKIMS enters footwear with a modern take on the Nike Rif
Nike and SKIMS are launching footwear for the first time with the NikeSKIMS Rift, a refreshed spin on Nike’s cult 90s split-toe running shoe. The updated silhouette keeps the signature tabi toe and easy midfoot strap but modernizes the look with mesh, minimalist cushioning and a low, ballet-flat-adjacent profile that moves easily from studio to street. Kim Kardashian calls it a sleek, flattering revival of a sneaker women already loved, and for Nike, it nods to the Rift’s original barefoot-inspired design. Launching January 26 in North America on Nike.com, Skims.com and select U.S. retailers, the Rift marks the beginning of NikeSKIMS’ head-to-toe system, with more footwear already slated for future drops.
PINK teams up with TWICE for a Valentine’s Day drop
After seeing four members of TWICE light up the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last year, ONCE (TWICE’s loyal fandom) has been hoping the moment would spark something bigger, and today it did. PINK just unveiled a new partnership featuring Nayeon, Jihyo, Momo, and Tzuyu as the faces of its Valentine’s Day styles, leaning into the brand’s signature mix of playful, cute, and slightly flirty lingerie and loungewear. It’s a collab that feels both fan-driven and perfectly timed, blending PINK’s youthful aesthetic with TWICE’s global pop star charm.
Victoria’s Secret unveils 2026 Valentine’s campaign with Hailey Bieber as the star
Victoria’s Secret is embracing the Valentine’s Day spirit. On Wednesday, Jan. 7, the brand unveiled its 2026 Valentine’s Day collection, with Hailey Bieber leading the charge as the face of its A Very VS Valentine’s campaign. The campaign also features Isabeli Fontana, Maty Fall Diba, and Alexis Carrington. In an exclusive clip shared with PEOPLE, the 29-year-old model slips into a barely-there red lingerie look, posing in front of a mirror with the quiet confidence VS campaigns are known for. A standout visual shows Hailey perched inside a giant dresser drawer, painting her toenails, a clear wink to Gisele Bündchen’s 2001 Victoria’s Secret campaign, where the then Angel struck the same pose in pink. The reference feels intentional: a modern Valentine to VS nostalgia, updated for 2026.
Pandora launches mini charms with girl group Katseye
Pandora is dialling up the charm, literally, with its new Mini Charms collection, fronted by global girl group KATSEYE. The campaign leans into individuality and playful styling, with each member showcasing how the tiny charms can be mixed, matched, and layered on bracelets, necklaces, and hoops for a look that feels personal. Inspired by the group’s creative spirit, the Minis arrive in six new designs, including symbols such as a globe and a musical note, alongside meaning-driven pieces that reflect each girl’s unique vibe. “Everyone can find the charm that fits their own story,” KATSEYE shared, summing up the collection’s whole appeal: tiny jewelry with big personality. The new Mini Charms are officially available now online and in Pandora stores.
Savage x Fenty channels Aphrodite for its Valentine’s collection
Rihanna is stepping into her goddess era for the latest Savage X Fenty Valentine’s collection, and the timing couldn’t be better. With February on the horizon and everyone hunting for something flirty (or just fun to wear under sweats), Savage’s V-Day drop channels Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire, through pieces designed to make you feel bold and powerful. The lineup includes lingerie for both men and women, styled for everyday confidence or romantic occasions, and brought to life in the campaign by Rihanna alongside Lovie Simone, Michael Cooper Jr., Emma Arletta, and Vivian Wilson. Between the soft lighting, tactile fabrics, and a rich colour palette, the imagery blends romance with Savage’s signature edge.
Chanel names Gracie Abrams as the new face of Coco Crush
Chanel has announced Gracie Abrams as the newest ambassador and muse for its Coco Crush fine jewelry line, with the campaign launching January 13, 2026. The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter brings a quiet confidence and softness-meets-strength energy that fits the collection’s modern take on luxury, joining fellow Coco Crush muse Jennie Kim. In the campaign, Abrams spotlights new, more supple designs inspired by Chanel’s signature quilted motif, including flexible chokers and sculptural pieces in 18k yellow, white, or beige gold (with diamond options for extra sparkle). The partnership feels like a natural progression: Abrams has appeared in past Chanel campaigns and events, and her intimate, emotionally honest style aligns with Coco Crush’s celebration of tactile elegance and individuality.
The fashion trends that are everywhere right now
Low-rise pants
shop the trend
Low-rise pants are officially back in rotation, thanks to fashion’s ongoing love affair with all things ’90s and Y2K. The modern take leans relaxed and slouchy, usually paired with cropped tops or oversized jackets for that effortless “I didn’t try, but I did” energy. The trend hit fashion week in 2025 with Stella McCartney, Isabel Marant, and Coach, who played into the nostalgic denim vibe. If you’re ready to jump in, just think: low waistlines, loose silhouettes, and a little attitude.
