The Glossy Podcast

Show Notes

On this episode of the Glossy Podcast, we recap New York Fashion Week Fall 2026 by breaking down the defining themes of the season. Senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi is joined by Glossy international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff, alongside special guest Mandy Lee — known to her 233,000 Instagram followers and 616,000 TikTok followers as @oldloserinbrooklyn — for a candid conversation about what worked, what didn’t and what it all signals for American fashion.

The group digs into the week’s front-loaded schedule, the return of wearable drama, political signaling on the runway and backstage, and the growing tension between spectacle and substance on the runway.
