Fashion Thursdays: Nepo Baby Runways vs. Supermodel Energy — Who Really Owns Fashion?

Host: Diane Gilman

What happened to the swagger, smiles, and spirit of the runway? Diane Gilman dives deep into how today’s “Nepo Baby” models—like Apple Martin, Kai Gerber, Lila Moss, and Sunday Rose Kidman—contrast sharply with the unapologetic glamour and joy of the supermodels who ruled the 80s and 90s. From sulky struts to genuine confidence, Diane gives her unfiltered take on why fashion used to inspire dreams, how iconic names like Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell changed everything, and what’s missing in modern modeling’s mood.

What You’ll Hear:

• The difference between runway energy now and then: Nepo babies vs. bold originals
• Why crowd energy and creativity have shifted away from the catwalk to the audience
• Honest commentary on famous daughters and sons — and why most never smile
• Diane’s memories of superstar models who loved life, laughter, and creative drama
• Industry rumors: quarterly magazines, less demand, and less creativity
• Stories of Italy’s golden era: jeweled jeans, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Milan’s untouchable style
• How the 80s and 90s made runway shows a celebration, not just fashion business
• Diane’s current favorites among new faces and why authentic joy is her style essential

✨ Highlights & Takeaways

• Runway nostalgia: from Cindy Crawford’s Pepsi ad to Naomi Campbell’s legendary attitude
• Why smiling matters—and why a glum runway hurts the industry and audiences
• The real cost of “mediocre” fashion seasons and why personal style is now seen mostly off the runway
• How Diane’s own career tracked—and influenced—the evolution of joy, boldness, and expression in fashion
• Why creative risk, wild prints, and genuine personality are the real trends worth reviving
•

🎙️ Fashion Thursdays: Wardrobe Review—All’s Fair, Kim Kardashian & the Power of Costume Critique

Host: Diane Gilman

Fashion is a story—and on this week’s Fashion Thursdays, Diane Gilman turns a critical eye to the star-studded wardrobe choices in Hulu’s new legal drama, All’s Fair. Diane reviews the costumes that are supposed to define Kim Kardashian’s character and dissect how wardrobe can lift, or deflate, an entire project. With wit and decades of insider fashion experience, she dives into how flashy styling fails to connect with the show’s plot, reveals why real female lawyers should be insulted, and explores the impact of filtering, branding, and fantasy in the Kardashian universe.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why the wardrobe in All’s Fair fails to support the storytelling and character development
• Diane’s take on Kim Kardashian’s acting, the show’s critical flop, and what went wrong
• Behind the scenes critiques of costume choices and why actual officewear looks dramatically different
• The influence of over-filtering and bright, unrealistic garment choices on viewer perception
• Why Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson couldn’t save the show from its wardrobe and script issues
• An honest fashionista’s breakdown of the difference between authentic style and artificial glitz
• The struggle to find age-positive beauty products—including Diane’s recommendation for Prime Prometics gray eyebrow pencil

✨ Fashion & Culture Highlights

• Wardrobe should tell the story—not distract with fantasy or filter culture
• Bright satin suits, high slits, and hyper-sexy details are antithetical to representing real women at work
• Kim Kardashian’s infamous style clashes with courtroom realism, proving branding and wardrobe don’t always match the role
• Real lawyers favor tailored, textural classics—not Instagram-influencer looks
• The need for age-inclusive, natural makeup solutions (Prime Prometics for gray brows!)
