About this episode

The episode discusses the cyclical nature of fashion brand popularity and highlights brands trending up or down in 2026.

Brands dip in and out of popularity these days so frequently it can be hard to keep track of what’s hot and what’s not. The fashion world is a fickle one, and it doesn’t take much for a label to go from the most hyped on the face of the earth to being regarded as cringe, played out and overhyped. Hype always reaches an event horizon. The trendsetters and tastemakers start wearing something, the mainstream picks it up, it reaches a point of saturation and the trendsetters that made it cool in the first place now want nothing to do with it. It’s a cycle that repeats itself over and over again, chewing labels up and spitting them out… aside from a privileged few who have the heritage and staying power to carry them through. Check out Issue #0050 as @JaiHov, @SeanDWashington hand out fashion brands that are trending up or trending down in 2026. **FTYA Issue #0050 Breakdown** 00:00- Intro 1:30- Annual Airing Out Of Grievances 4:00- Recent Pickups Segment 7:45- Cop, Drop or Resell Segment 20:35- Tunnel Vision Segment 36:10 -Wear Your Kicks Segment 38:40 -COVER STORY: The Issue About About Brands Trending Up or Down in 2026 58:00- #DrinkLikeYouGotSomeSense Drink:Danny Ocean
