Abask’s Partnership With One of New York’s Top Luxury Retreats Lets You Take a Piece of the Hudson Valley Home

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. After having what can euphemistically be referred to as “not the best of moods” for close to two hours on the Metro North, I arrived to Poughkeepsie — the end of the train service’s Hudson line. Shortly thereafter, I found myself in the lobby of the Michelin Key–holding Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection: with its massive open space, central fire pit, and fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles parked outside, available to hotel guests at no extra charge. After check-in, someone at the front desk led me to the sink in the adjoining gift shop filled with wares from local artisans. She made me wash my hands with a salt scrub and prompted me to envision all the stress and strain of the journey (how did she know?) disappearing down the drain. After two minutes, I really did feel cleansed. Wildflower Farms, I would soon learn, had many more similarly magical moments...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Editor’s Note: WWD’s parent company, Penske Media Corporation, owns Dick Clark Productions. It’s not every day that the likes of 50 Cent, Chappell Roan, Mariah Carey, and the Goo Goo Dolls come together for an unforgettable evening of music, jokes swapped between celebrity hosts, and pre-New Year’s Eve revelries. But December 31, 2025, promises to be just this kind of day, what with this year’s ABC telecast of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” marking its 51st year as part of the broadcasting company.

A Look Back at ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ Through the Years

For more than 50 years, “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” has been a staple celebration of the holiday season. The hours-long special, now with host Ryan Seacrest, features a bevy of high-profile acts, musical guests, celebrity appearances and more, and the eve of 2026 will be no different. Before WWD breaks down all the details for “Dick Clark’s 2026 New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” here’s a bit of history about the American entertainment pastime. Beginning in 1974, two years after the conception of the “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special, TV personality and radio host Dick Clark rang in the new year with a holiday-themed special that would broadcast across the country. Originally premiering on NBC, the live TV program transitioned to ABC beginning in 1974 with Clark as host. Ryan Seacrest (L) and Rita Ora are seen rehearsing for “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” in Times Square on Dec. 30, 2023 in New York City.

Svitlana Bevza’s Eponymous Womenswear Label Shines Light on Ukrainian Heritage and Creates Modern Fashions for the ‘Self-Made, Demanding Woman’

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Before Ukraine’s 2014 Euromaidan protests and Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country in 2022 — leading to over 53,000 civilian casualties in the past three years, as reported by the UN — there was Bevza. Svitlana Bevza’s eponymous label, founded out of Kyiv in 2006, wasn’t reactionary in the political sense. Instead, Bevza felt a pressing need to remedy the barrenness of the Ukrainian fashion scene at the time. Kyiv was no Paris or Milan or even Copenhagen, and still isn’t, but, since launching almost two decades back, her fashion house has been able to introduce its signature aesthetic restraint (marked by an emphasis on clean lines, unfussy silhouettes, and never-overbearing hues) into the country’s sartorial landscape. In the present day, Bevza is known — and shopped — the world over. Though the most recent conflict in Bevza’s h...

Beyoncé’s Cécred Becomes #1 Prestige Hair Care Launch at Ulta — Here’s Exactly What to Shop From the Luxury Brand

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. It’s not only Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s “Cowboy Carter” tour that’s capable of generating headlines and selling out faster than you can say “most-awarded and most-nominated artist in Grammy history.” Indeed, the 44-year-old global phenom can add something else to her resume: being the founder of the buzzy hair brand Cécred, as of 2024. Cécred’s first big retail expansion happened circa April 6, 2025, when its product line went live at Ulta. And just this month, Ulta’s chief merchandising and digital officer, Lauren Brindley, announced that Knowles-Carter’s beauty company became the “the number one prestige hair care launch in [Ulta’s] history.” For the record, that’s huge — almost as huge, dare we say, as becoming the first Black woman to headline Coachella. And Cécred’s metrics at the mega beauty retailer are speaking for themselves. For instance, it’...
