Why Gen Z Is Ditching Fast Fashion for $1,500 Jeans—and the Designer Leading the Charge

July 7, 2025 No Comments

“We are witnessing a generational shift in fashion where sustainability is no longer a luxury—it’s a mandate. Gen Z is leading this charge with an unrelenting demand for transparency, ethics, and environmental responsibility. What excites me most is how designers like Gabriela Hearst are not just responding to this movement—they’re shaping it. Hearst’s visionary approach proves that sustainability and sophistication can coexist at the highest levels of design. She’s not following a trend—she’s setting the standard for what fashion must become.” — Joseph DeAcetis, Editor-in-Chief of StyleLujo.com and Instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT)

July 7, 2025 No Comments

Stepping into Bergdorf Goodman for the launch of Veronique Gabai’s Eau d’Azur felt like being transported to the sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera. The lower level of the iconic Fifth Avenue store was transformed into a luminous, fragrant escape, where guests sipped chilled rosé, mingled with fashion insiders, and were personally welcomed by Veronique herself. The new fragrance—a radiant blend of neroli, lavender, cardamom, and musk—embodies the breezy sensuality of the Côte d’Azur, while reflecting Gabai’s commitment to sustainability and emotional well-being. With her signature “perfume therapy” blends and a philosophy rooted in joy, balance, and self-expression, Veronique doesn’t just bottle scent—she captures feeling.

“Gen Z doesn’t just buy fashion—they buy into values, identity, and narrative. What makes Rabanne’s strategy so effective is that it doesn’t try to decode Gen Z through data alone—it engages them through emotion, authenticity, and aesthetic clarity. The Winter 2026 campaign is a case study in how to build cultural relevance without pandering. By casting individuals who reflect the complexity and diversity of this generation, Rabanne isn’t just marketing to Gen Z—it’s inviting them into the brand’s evolving story. That’s not just smart branding—it’s future-proofing.” — Joseph DeAcetis, Editor, StyleLujo.com
