TRESemmé and Christian Siriano Get Surreal with NYFW Collaboration

by Savannah Hanoum February 13, 2026
written by Savannah Hanoum

Obviously the clothes are art, but what about the hairstyles?  

As fashion month commences in New York City, America’s #1 hair care and styling brand partners with the luxury womenswear designer to debut Christian Siriano 2026 Fall Ready-To-Wear collection. 

“For Christian’s show, we embraced the idea of surrealism by transforming the hair into a sculptural accessory. The look centered on a sophisticated play on textures, ” says Lacy Redway, TRESemmé lead stylist. 

Together, this dream team welcomes to the runway, the Surrealist Swoop, TRESemmé’s latest hair trend. Seen on models like Coco Rocha and Daphne Velghe, the innovative hair unlocks organic movement while maintaining a structural-like quality.  

Longtime collaborators Redway and Siriano go all the way back to their days on Project Runway, and it shows. The two have a strong tenure working together professionally, but overtime they’ve become more like family, creating harmoniously with intention. 

“Christian does a really great job with making sure there is a lot of representation back here, and TRESemmé gives me the freedom to make sure there is no black girl sitting in the chair without anyone able to do their hair,” says Redway.  

All products used during the show are from TRESemmé’s premium A-List Collection: TRESemmé All-In-One Hair Style Prime, TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse, TRESemmé Freeze Hold Gel, TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray, TRESemmé Dry Texturizing Spray, and TRESemmé Lacquer Shine Spray.  

Following the excitement of the show,  Siriano and friends continue the evening’s celebration at The Eighth in Chelsea. In attendance are notable guests like, Natasha Lyonne, Taylor Momsen, Leslie Jones, and model Coco Rocha.

Matcha: The Next Generation Explores Tradition, Technology, and Women-Led Innovation

by Tristen Yang February 13, 2026
written by Tristen Yang

On Tuesday evening, inside the auditorium at Japan Society, a room filled with cultural enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and the matcha-curious gathered for Matcha: The Next Generation, a conversation and tasting presented as part of the organization’s annual Living Traditions series in partnership with the Government of Japan.

The evening explored the shift in matcha culture from ritualized, ceremonial, and preserved to an evolving and rapidly changing state. Moderated by Rona Tison, Tea Ambassador and Executive Advisor at ITO EN North America, the panel brought together three voices shaping matcha’s future across continents: Masae Shinjo, Founder and CEO of Matcha Tourism Co., Ltd.; Kunikazu Mochitani, Co-Founder of The Matcha Factory; and Silvia Mella, Founder and Creative Director of Sorate.

Japan’s rural tea-growing regions, particularly in areas like Uji and Shizuoka, are facing demographic decline. Aging farmers, shrinking labor pools, and global demand pressures have created a tension between preservation and production. Mochitani spoke to the technological shifts underway with innovations in farming and supply chain transparency that allow producers to maintain quality while adapting to modern market realities.

Shinjo approached the topic from another dimension with tourism and storytelling. Through Matcha Tourism Co., Ltd., she has built immersive experiences that reconnect consumers to origin, to the fields, the farmers, the labor behind the bowl. In an era where matcha is often consumed as a latte or aesthetic accessory, her work reframes it as agricultural heritage. Revitalizing rural communities, she explained, requires not only innovation but visibility by inviting global audiences to witness the process rather than just consume the product. The matcha boom has been shaped by global wellness trends, social media virality, and aesthetic minimalism, but Silvia Mella emphasized intentional growth by ensuring that farmers benefit from the expansion.

Beyond the economics, the panel returned repeatedly to cultivation itself. Matcha production is labor-intensive: shade-growing tea plants weeks before harvest, carefully selecting leaves, steaming, drying, de-stemming, and finally stone-grinding into the luminous green powder. Climate change, labor shortages, and mechanization debates all shape the future of this process. Following the discussion, guests moved into a tasting reception to experience the human experience behind the shift in match and how it’s being recontextualized through technology, tourism, and women-led entrepreneurship. For a beverage often photographed more than understood, the event offered insight on how the industry is balancing preservation with evolution.

From the Bay to the Big Game: Flavortown Takes Over Super Bowl Sunday

by Serena Khahera February 9, 2026
written by Serena Khahera

As Super Bowl weekend reached its fever pitch, Guy Fieri turned the Cow Palace into the epicenter of pregame energy with Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate, one of the largest free Super Bowl events in the country. Just hours before kickoff, more than 10,000 fans flooded the iconic venue 40 miles north of the big game site to experience a bold, high-octane celebration that felt equal parts food festival, concert, and classic American tailgate.

The Bay Area native brought his unmistakable personality home, transforming the Cow Palace into a full-scale Flavortown takeover. From Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives restaurant pop-ups to Guy’s custom-created culinary concepts and beloved local favorites, the event featured 10+ culinary experiences designed to satisfy every craving imaginable. Guests sampled free bites from top food partners, paired with ice-cold beer, creative cocktails, and a nonstop flow of tailgate fun.

Music played a starring role in the day’s festivities, with live performances by Tucker Wetmore and Loud Luxury delivering the perfect soundtrack to Big Game Sunday. The crowd—packed with fans ready to celebrate football’s biggest day—danced, sang along, and soaked in the electric atmosphere that only a Guy Fieri production can deliver.

The star power didn’t stop on stage. The tailgate drew an impressive lineup of celebrity guests and sports legends, including Rob Gronkowski, Eli Manning, Aaron Jones, Navarro Bowman, Eric Kendricks, and comedian Bill Burr. One of the day’s most talked-about moments came when Guy and Burr shared cigars and laughs, capping off a years-long running joke as Guy finally scored Burr’s phone number—after “hounding” it from fellow comedian Bert Kreischer for years.

Produced by Medium Rare and presented by SpotOn, the event leaned hard into its fan-first mission. With support from major sponsors including Anheuser-Busch, Carnival Cruise Line, Verizon, Velveeta, King’s Hawaiian, Sabra, Pendleton Whisky, Santo Tequila, and Coke Zero, Flavortown Tailgate wasn’t just about spectacle—it was about access. Carnival Cruise Line provided free entry to 2,000 veterans and active-duty military members, while SpotOn guaranteed entry for many local food service workers, underscoring the event’s community-driven spirit.

At its core, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate was a celebration of the people who love food, football, and a good time—no tickets, no barriers, just pure, unapologetic fun. A deep-fried Super Bowl party in every sense, it brought together a devoted crowd of diners, drive-ins, and dives devotees and sent Super Bowl weekend in San Francisco out in unforgettable Flavortown style.

Slàinte to Burns Distilled – An Immersive Evening of Whisky and Tradition

by Lauren Wire February 4, 2026
written by Lauren Wire

I’m a fan of anything Scotland. I’ve traveled there twice, marched in the Tartan Day Parade, happily lose hours rewatching Outlander, have met Sam Heughan three times, adore a good plaid, and have even experienced the Johnnie Walker Princes Street journey firsthand. So when I attended Burns Distilled at Conwell Coffee & Cocktail Hall, it felt less like an event and more like stepping into a historic Highland celebration – while drinking what I love including Johnnie Walker, Oban, Lagavulin and Buchanan’s.

Sabrina Carpenter and Johnnie Walker Black Label Ruled Grammys Weekend

by Jonathan Tolliver February 3, 2026
written by Jonathan Tolliver

Sabrina Carpenter is taking over my life! Trust and believe, I’m not mad.

The “Manchild” singer paired with Johnnie Walker on the rooftop of the Aster Hotel to light up the Hollywood sky with music and some truly fanciful flights.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JANUARY 30: The Go Go Highball and Johnnie Walker Black Label are pictured ahead of the biggest night in music at The Aster on January 30, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. Stars were seen sipping on the cocktail of the weekend, the Go Go Highball, created by Johnnie Walker with GRAMMY award-winning partner Sabrina Carpenter.

The Go Go Highball is her signature Johnnie Walker Black Label collaborative concoction. It was a smoky and sublime drink that welcomed us all to the city’s best Grammys soiree.

They also collaborated on a crystal embellished clutch that Carpenterinas around the world are begging for as we speak.

Johnnie Walker and Sabrina also collaborated on these unbelievable large scale animations that ruled the Hollywood skyline. Breathtaking much?

Max and Helen’s on Larchmont Boulevard was host to an after AFTER party. Shoutout to the art director, because this was a candy land cherry bomb.

I couldn’t stop dancing and making friends, a testament to the untouchable vibes curated by the creative team behind this night.

Carpenter dazzled at the Grammys with a campy, unforgettable performance surrounded by thirsty men. I’m sensing a theme here.

“This moment is the perfect celebration of our partnership with Sabrina: raising a Go Go Highball to her progress and the incredible milestones she has achieved as an artist, against the backdrop of music’s biggest weekend” said John Williams, Global Head of Whiskey at Diageo.

I can’t help but raise a glass to pop’s most exciting new artist and whiskey’s most trusted brand.

Cheers to many more nights sipping Johnnie Walker Black Label and dancing through Hollywood being the “Manchild” I was always born to be.
