“Polo in 2026 feels both ancient and remarkably new. It is one of the rare sports where history doesn’t sit quietly in the past—it comes charging toward you on horseback. When you hear those thunderous hooves, witness the extraordinary bond between horse and rider, and look around at generations of spectators sharing the same field, you understand why polo has endured for centuries. I believe its future will be even more exciting: more global, more accessible, more fashionable and increasingly connected to luxury, culture and modern lifestyle. Technology may change the world around us, but it can never replicate the exhilaration of a magnificent horse at full gallop or the human connection created by gathering together to witness it. That, to me, is the timeless power of polo—and why the Sport of Kings may only be beginning its next great chapter.” — Joseph DeAcetis, Editor, StyleLujo.com
“The greatest luxury of the holiday season isn’t simply what we give, but the warmth and thought behind every gift. Holiday 2026 is about coming home, opening our doors, gathering around the table and celebrating the people who make our lives meaningful. A wonderful gift for the home becomes part of those memories—a beautiful reminder of family, friendship, generosity and time spent together.”

“New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 reminded me why this city remains unlike anywhere else in the world. What I witnessed was an extraordinary collision of fashion, commerce, celebrity, culture and a new generation determined to redefine luxury on its own terms. From the established American houses to emerging designers, there was a palpable sense of energy, optimism and reinvention. The clothes felt more personal, the audiences more global, and the conversation surrounding fashion more immediate than ever. New York was crowded, hot, exhilarating and occasionally controversial—but above all, it was alive. And for me, that is the real story of SS27: fashion has rediscovered the power of excitement.”

“Caleb Williams represents a new generation of American athlete—fearlessly competitive on the field yet equally confident expressing his individuality away from it. What strikes me about his painted nails this week is that they are more than a fashion statement; by incorporating 988 and a tribute to Chicago, he is using personal style to communicate purpose. As a menswear editor, I find that incredibly powerful. Caleb has the talent, athleticism, character and cultural relevance to transcend football, and I believe the right luxury menswear or grooming brand could build something extraordinary with him. He isn’t following an old definition of what an NFL quarterback should look like—he is helping create a new one.”

“A great watch has become one of the most powerful signatures of a successful man. When I see someone like 50 Cent wearing a Hublot Big Bang Unico King Gold, I see more than gold, mechanics and craftsmanship—I see confidence, achievement and individuality. Today’s most influential men understand that a watch is not simply there to tell time; it tells a story about who you are, what you have accomplished and how you choose to present yourself to the world. In many ways, the wrist has become the modern man’s badge of honor.”
