Dove Presents ‘Pits & Giggles’ Hosted By Hannah Berner

by Nishat Baig March 5, 2026
written by Nishat Baig

Last night Dove celebrated the launch of it’s latest Clinical + Care collection with a fun and feminine comedy night! Dove brought together a lineup of talented comedians to share their sweatiest stories in the spirit of sisterhood and women empowerment for Women’s History Month. The lineup included host Hannah Berner alongside fellow comedians Amber Autry, Sydnee Washington and Daniela Mora. Each comedian shared hilarious anecdotes and Hannah even gave a 30 minute interactive set about everywhere she’s ever sweat inviting guests to share their experiences breaking down barriers and stigma around this natural human phenomenon.

In a room filled with mostly women and a few men, Hannah helped us laugh about things we normally do our best to hide, allowing us to embrace the full scope of our femininity, even the sweaty parts. The most hysterical moment from her set had to be when she remembered interviewing a boy band’s lead singer and having sweat-soaked tissue fall out of her dress, only to be returned by the concerned lead singer, cementing her visceral embarrassment. Daniela shared a funny moment from a drunken-night-out that ended in stitches, Sydnee recalled an unexpected encounter with TSA that ended with Taco Bell and Amber shared some intimate details that reminded us that embarrassing moments can lead to bonding.

 

Before the stand up started, guests were invited to share their sweaty moments at the Dove “Pits & Giggles” photo booth followed by complimentary cocktails and lite bites that circulated all night. The cucumber cooler and peach please cocktails were inspired by the scents in Dove’s latest collection and Dove even gave tote goodie bags filled with Dove merch and a deo spray from their latest Clinical + Care release. This unforgettable night left guests crying from laughter and ready to tackle sweat with Dove’s new Clinical + Care deodorant spray.

Models & Moshpit Collide at Rio FW26 NYFW Show

by Nishat Baig February 18, 2026
written by Nishat Baig

RIO’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, A Poem & A Protest II, unfolds as the second chapter in a story first introduced last season — one that continues to explore identity through tension and contrast. This chapter leans further into duality, where softness and resistance meet glamour and grit. Plaid — now scaled up and deepened into winter palettes — anchors the collection, Pleated minis, metallic bikini tops, and draped separates are layered with bold outerwear and high-visibility accents. Reflective textiles capture flash and movement, radiating both defiance and glamour. Protection becomes both concept and construction. Quilted surfaces, sculptural puffer shoulders, trapper hats, and sharply structured coats suggest garments built for impact and endurance. Utility-driven elements — backpacks, sport closures, reinforced shapes — position the wardrobe as functional armor for the contemporary city. The message is clear: these are clothes designed not just to be worn, but to withstand.

Styling choices extend the narrative beyond aesthetics into symbolism. ACLU “ICE OUT” pins appear on select looks as understated but deliberate gestures of civic alignment. Traditional stone and obsidian necklaces rooted in Mexican cultural heritage are layered against tailored sets and polished coordinates, creating a dialogue between ancestry and modernity, refinement and urgency. The presentation itself rejected conventional runway distance. Staged at Jean’s as a live performance featuring Dominican musical artists Planta Industrial, the show blurred the lines between concert and catwalk. With Fall/Winter 2026, RIO continues to argue that identity is inherently plural — emotional and defiant, intimate and public-facing at once. A Poem & A Protest II does not frame fashion as escape, but as declaration: clothing as poetry, clothing as protest, clothing as presence.
