🧵 Fashion Chat: Galliano at Zara and FW 26 Fashion Collections

·1 hr 33 min·5 clips

John Galliano going to Zara is framed as a major comeback, not a prestige-house move.

Lauren opens the episode by teasing Jai about his scratchy voice, and the two settle right back into their usual loose, familiar rhythm. They note that it has been a minute since the last Fashion Chat, and they frame the episode as a general fashion check-in built around the Oscars and recent fashion-month collections. The Oscars become the first major topic, then a doorway into broader fashion talk. They touch on the political mess around award season, including the BBC editing controversy, and react in their usual blunt, casual style. A bigger burst of news comes when they bring up the rumor that Galliano is going to Zara. They treat it as both funny and outrageous, and the discussion opens into a larger conversation about creative directors and the people who seem to be waiting for a comeback. From there they shift into Oscar looks. They mention Timothee Chalamet and say they hated the outfit, with Kylie Jenner coming up alongside him and getting an even colder reaction. Jacob Elordi gets a positive response, with both of them liking his suit and noting that he always looks cool. They then move into method dressing, describing it as a newer trend where actors dress in the visual language of the film they are promoting. That leads them into styling culture and the rise of stylists as celebrity figures in their own right. They like the idea because it gives promotion a character-based edge instead of just repeating red-carpet formulas. They also bring up the Dune robot look as an example that has already stuck in people’s heads. Toward the end they mention a documentary they are excited to see in theaters and talk about finding a screening, likely sometime soon. The episode closes with their usual Patreon, review, and subscribe sign-off.

As heard by us

Fashion gossip, awards fallout, and styling talk with a smart, loosely worn edge.

Fashion Chat starts as a loose, opinionated catch-up and stays true to that tone. Lauren and Jai move from Oscar fashion to recent fashion month collections, then to the question of where fashion's restless creative directors land next.
