Abercrombie’s earnings, Kelce’s American Eagle role and eBay's branded resale — plus, back-to-school trends with After School's Casey Lewis

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international fashion reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, they discuss Abercrombie’s continued earnings winning streak and how its sub-brand, Hollister, and NFL partnership are helping the company scale without overextending. They also look at how American Eagle is bouncing back from a misfired campaign with Sydney Sweeney with a strategically timed Travis Kelce collab, reflecting a bigger shift toward athletes acting as creative partners. Finally, they explore Marks & Spencer’s new resale storefront on eBay and how it ties into eBay’s growing role as resale infrastructure.

Later in the episode, Glossy brings you a Back-to-School Trend special, where Zofia Zwieglinska sat down with the founder of the After School newsletter and Gen-Z consumer trends expert Casey Lewis. Launched in 2021, After School has become a trusted source for brand marketers and editors, thanks to its sharp insights on everything from TikTok hauls to youth retail habits. This year, Lewis tracked thousands of back-to-school hauls on TikTok to decode what Gen Z is buying for back-to-school and why.
