Episode 18: After aspiration: the things we don’t want anymore
From Coachella’s performative dressing to the cooling luxury handbag market, this episode traces how fashion aspiration and desire are being reshaped in real time. We start with the event in the California desert, where getting dressed has become a form of performance shaped as much by the algorithm as by personal taste. From vintage sourcing to “wear-it-again” festival looks, even escapism is starting to come with conditions. Then we turn to the luxury handbag market, where the long-standing idea of the “investment bag” is beginning to crack. As resale premiums soften, brands are experimenting with a different kind of appeal – less about exclusivity, more about identification. And finally, we talk to Isabelle Lefort of Paris Good Fashion about whether it’s possible to change not just what we buy, but what we want. Style Signals created by majelan studio.

Episode 17: Fashion and memory: the wedding dress, the museum and the almighty archive
In this episode, we explore how fashion acquires cultural value — from the wedding dress to the museum to the branded archive. Why has bridal so often been kept outside fashion? What happens when garments enter institutions built to preserve culture? And what does it mean when brands begin curating their own pasts? A conversation about fashion, memory, hierarchy, and who gets to decide what deserves to endure. Subjects covered include Zendaya’s The Drama press tour, Zara × Galliano, Olivier Saillard, Gucci, Margot Robbie, Michel Gondry and Kylie Minogue for Chanel, and Natalie Portman for Tiffany.

Episode 16: Oscars costume design, female creative directors, and the rise of fashion watch parties
As the 98th Academy Awards ceremony approaches, we dig into this year's Best Costume Design nominees — Hamnet, Frankenstein, Sinners, Marty Supreme, and Avatar: Fire and Ash — and what each tells us about the craft, the mood of the moment, and the future of the category. We also get into one of fashion's persistent paradoxes, its gender gap: an industry mainly built by and for women, still largely led by men. From Dior's historic shift back to male leadership to the new generation of female creative directors quietly reshaping major houses, it's a moment worth paying attention to. And finally: fashion watch parties are getting big. Really big. We look at how events like "LA watchparty" are transforming the way fans and industry insiders experience fashion together, and ponder whether the thing that made it special can survive the sponsorship deals.

Episode 15: The clothes that give you away: vintage, values and the future of fashion
Is there a silhouette burned into you from your formative years, one that just feels right in a way nothing else quite does? In this episode, we use the new JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy series Love Story as a jumping-off point to ask why the 90s keeps pulling us back, what the return of Marc Jacobs and minimalism actually means, and whether or not Gen Z is nostalgic for a period they never lived through. We get into the small things that give your generation away (the socks, the jeans, the bag) and what they reveal about the silhouette you're always unconsciously reacting against. We trace the complicated moral journey of the fur coat, and what that rare story of genuine cultural change might say about fashion's bigger sustainability problem. We close with Paris Good Fashion's 2026 citizen consultation, which is asking a deceptively simple question: how do you make sustainable and ethical dressing feel like style, not sacrifice? Fashion across generations. The clothes we inherit, the ones we reject, and the ones we quietly keep. Style Signals created by majelan studio. Hosted by Audiomeans.

Episode 14: Fashion's transformation of the press tour; sports style at the Games; and a new (old) culture of clothing care
Fashion used to happen in very specific places: runways, red carpets, magazine spreads. Not anymore. In this episode of Style Signals, we're exploring fashion's great expansion into unexpected territories. From Margot Robbie's Wuthering Heights press tour creating a new blueprint for method dressing, to the Milan 2026 Olympics turning athletes into fashion's most influential voices, to Levi's proving that caring for your clothes is the new luxury. We break down why literary adaptations keep becoming fashion events, how sports tunnels became the new front row, and why visible mending is having a moment. Plus: luxury book clubs, $5,000 book-shaped handbags, and why knowing your tailor is more insider than knowing your sales associate. Episode Topics: • Method dressing 2.0 and the Wuthering Heights press tour phenomenon • Milan 2026 Olympics as the ultimate sports-fashion collision • Athletes as style icons (from Naomi Osaka to NHL tunnel walks) • Levi's repair initiative and the culture of care • Why fashion brands are suddenly hosting book clubs Style Signals created by majelan studio.

Episode 13: The geography of getting dressed: why style feels different in 2026
In this episode, we explore how geography is reshaping personal style in 2026 and what that shift might mean for the future of trends themselves. We’re talking about how place, energy levels, and collective exhaustion are reshaping personal style right now. From New York’s edited minimalism to LA’s expressive messiness, we look at how a locale influences not just what we wear, but how we want to be seen …or not seen at all. This conversation covers style resolutions, the rise of low-energy dressing in January, repeating outfits without apology, and the growing sense that trends no longer hold the authority they once did. We also dive into the surprising cultural power of the tote bag, from Trader Joe’s to museum merch, as a symbol of belonging, locality, and anti-status status in an algorithm-flattened fashion landscape. If fashion has started to feel less aspirational and more personal, this episode asks whether we’re witnessing the evolution of trends – or their quiet undoing.

Episode 12: Emily in Paris via Rome, Red Underwear, and the Year Fashion Broke All the Rules
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. Style Signals created by majelan studio. Hosted by Audiomeans.

Episode 11: Festive fashion in all its forms
’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 cozey-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.

Episode 10: Fashion's new currencies: power dressing, luxury collabs, and the recalibration of value
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. Style Signals created by majelan studio. Hosted by Audiomeans.

Episode 9: Fashion as spectacle sports new wings, puffer jackets get prestigious, and department stores are going through it
In this episode we're unpacking the return of celebrity runway extravaganzas (L'Oréal's star-studded spectacle, Victoria's Secret's angel reboot, and Vogue World's increasingly wacky genre experiments). Are these shows actually about clothes anymore, or just elaborate content farms for your FYP? Then: Kim Jones is heading to Bosideng, and suddenly we’re all pretending we knew how to pronounce it all along. We're talking about why luxury's biggest names are racing to elevate functional outerwear, and what it means when a British designer becomes the face of Chinese fashion's global ambitions. And look, we need to talk about department stores. They're in their flop era—foot traffic's down, relevance is questionable, and the vibes are giving "desperate for tourist spending." Which brings us to BHV partnering with Shein. Yes, that Shein, now living inside a heritage Parisian department store. Bold survival strategy or the fashion equivalent of selling out to pay rent? Either way, we have feelings about it. Style Signals created by majelan studio. Hosted by Audiomeans. Visit audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite for more information.

Episode 8
This episode of Style Signals pays tribute to Diane Keaton's 50-year commitment to her own aesthetic, explores the most talked-about moments from Paris Fashion Week with a focus on Chanel, Dior, and the provocateurs shaking things up at a label with a most surprising name. Plus we discuss the bizarre-but-genius trend that may see your next handbag looking like breakfast and muse over whether food-fashion collabs are genius or just expensive irony.

Episode 7
From fabulous drag looks to Jaden Smith’s red soles to Pimkie’s Shein surprise — fashion’s serving drama, disruption, and a dash of camp. We’re diving into the brand-new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and how drag continues to shape style far beyond the runway. Then it’s off to Paris, where Jaden Smith has slipped into the role of men’s creative director at Christian Louboutin — what that means for luxury, menswear, and cultural cachet. Finally, we unpack the eyebrow-raising Pimkie × Shein partnership: a French retailer teaming up with the world’s fastest fast-fashion giant. Style Signals created by majelan studio.

Episode 6
Fashion's old playbook is getting a rewrite, and we're here for all of it. In this episode, we explore three seismic shifts reshaping style culture: how celebrity outfit repeating went from scandal to sustainability statement, why K-pop fashion is setting global trends and breaking gender norms, and how power dynamics in fashion are shifting faster than seasonal trends when it comes to fashion media and runway shows. From the Huntr/x idols of K-pop Demon Hunters to Cate Blanchett’s rewear revolution to the evolution of fashion consumption, here’s our “takedown” breakdown. Style Signals created by majelan studio.
