On this Fashion Thursdays episode, Diane Gilman breaks down the 2026 Winter Olympics fashion showdown between two drastically different American brands — Ralph Lauren and Skims by Kim Kardashian. It’s luxury heritage vs. social media hype, classic craftsmanship vs. comfort-core minimalism, or as Diane puts it: trash to class—your choice which is which.

She doesn’t hold back in this witty, insightful review of America’s Olympic style story — from the elegance of Ralph Lauren’s tailored duffels, Argyle knits, and heritage coats to the puzzling simplicity of Skims’ pajama pants and laser-sealed underwear. Plus, Diane goes deep into the history of Juicy Couture’s cultural influence on early-2000s loungewear and why Skims might just be a remix, not a revolution.

Fashion meets commentary, humor meets insight — and as always, Diane tells you exactly what she loves, hates, and plans to buy next.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• How Italy’s Armani, Prada, and Moncler are setting the stage for luxury at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
• The U.S. contrast: Ralph Lauren’s class vs. Kim Kardashian’s commercial comfortwear.
• Diane’s honest critique of Skims’ “underwhelming” Team USA swag — and what it borrows from Juicy Couture and Old Navy.
• Why Ralph Lauren’s timeless design wins gold for craftsmanship, authenticity, and lasting appeal.
• Her nostalgia for Juicy Couture’s fashion revolution and hilarious Paris Hilton-era anecdotes.
• A designer’s-eye breakdown of cut, color, proportion, and how Ralph Lauren’s navy, camel, and Argyle still set the bar.

Welcome to The 80/40 Factor with Diane Gilman and Nyna Gilpin, a podcast bridging two generations of experience and ambition. In this New Year’s episode, the duo reflects on 2025’s biggest lessons, surprises, and purchases—and what they’re both leaving behind as they step into 2026.

From Diane’s reflections on time, purpose, and legacy to Nyna’s drive to trust her instincts and silence self-doubt, this conversation digs deep into what it means to start fresh—at any age. The two unpack how aging, ambition, and authenticity intersect in a digital-first world; how breast cancer, career pivots, and podcasting all shape perspective; and why learning to dare to dream matters more now than ever.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• Diane’s reflections on valuing time, purpose, and turning 80 with renewed clarity and energy.
• Nyna’s strategy for shedding self-doubt and leaning into intuition in business and life.
• How aging is changing—inside and out—with new skin tech, longevity supplements, and TikTok trends.
• The surprising gifts of 2025: growth, gratitude, and unexpected career reinvention.
• How the 80/40 partnership became a “best surprise” that blends wisdom, wit, and generational synergy.
• The shared vision for 2026: purpose, success, and staying open to spiritual “winks,” from repeating numbers to meaningful timing.

On this star-studded episode of Fashion Thursdays, Diane Gilman recaps the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet the only way she knows how — with candor, fashion authority, and a dash of humor. From high glamour to high drama, Diane breaks down who wore it best, who missed the mark, and why confidence (and tailoring) make or break a look.

She praises Teyana Taylor’s jaw-dropping Schiaparelli masterpiece, Amal Clooney’s effortless vintage Balmain moment, and Helen Mirren’s artful Stella McCartney gown at 80. But not everyone made the best-dressed list — Diane calls out Ariana Grande’s misstep, stiff Louis Vuitton disasters, and skim-milk-colored gowns that beg for editing.

It’s a blend of red-carpet celebration, sharp critique, and insider insights on what works for women at every stage of life.

What you’ll hear in this episode

• The evening’s biggest fashion triumphs: Teyana Taylor’s Schiaparelli, Kate Hudson’s timeless Michael Kors, and Helen Mirren proving 80 is elegance’s prime.
• The most disappointing looks — from ill-fitting black gowns to overdesigned Louis Vuitton and painfully washed-out whites.
• The power of color and confidence: why pale pinks, duchess satins, and vintage metallics won the night.
• How women like Amal Clooney and Jennifer Lopez continue to redefine modern glam.
• Diane’s behind-the-scenes insight on designers, stylists, and the unspoken rules of red-carpet reinvention.
