1. Dolly Parton brings rhinestone magic to Good American

Country music icon Dolly Parton has joined forces with Khloé Kardashian’s Good American for a dazzling denim collection called “Joleans.” This limited-edition line perfectly captures Dolly’s signature sparkle with bedazzled jeans, gingham patterns, and tops featuring the legend herself.

Prices range from $64 for tops to $229 for statement denim pieces. If you’re looking to add some country glamour to your wardrobe, you can snag these pieces online or at select stores starting Thursday. Nashville shoppers can find the collection at Green Hills Nordstrom.

2. Shanghai Fashion Week shines spotlight on Chinese designers

Shanghai’s Autumn/Winter 2025 Fashion Week just wrapped up with local talent stealing the show. Standout Chinese designers included Shushu/Tong, Jacques Wei, and Markgong, whose collections proved why Shanghai is becoming a must-watch fashion capital.

Despite slower recovery after the pandemic, the event saw a 10-20% jump in showroom visitors and renewed interest from international buyers. This growth signals Shanghai’s strengthening position in the global fashion landscape.

3. Select Fashion closes doors in latest retail casualty

In less happy news, British high street chain Select Fashion has shut down completely. The retailer has entered liquidation, closing all 35 stores across the country.

The situation turned particularly difficult for employees, with 40 staff members told they wouldn’t receive redundancy pay or outstanding wages. They’ve been directed to seek help through the government’s Redundancy Payment Service. This closure highlights the ongoing struggles facing brick-and-mortar retail as costs continue to rise.
