From Cobblers to Catwalks: How TOD’S Became the Quiet Giant of Italian Luxury
“In the Autumn/Winter 2025 season, luxury footwear takes center stage in a broader return to dressing for success. After five years of experimental chaos in menswear, it’s refreshing to see brands reembracing elevated conservatism and crafting styles that reflect what male consumers are truly asking for: refinement, function, and timeless sophistication.” — Joseph DeAcetis, Editor at StyleLujo.com and Instructor of Menswear at the Fashion Institute of Technology
Why Gen Z Is Ditching Fast Fashion for $1,500 Jeans—and the Designer Leading the Charge
“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)
Metal, Mood, and Marie Colomb: Rabanne’s New Era Is Pure Gen Z Gold
“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
