Since launching her namesake, NYC-based fine jewelry brand in 2013, Stephanie Gottlieb has leveraged pop culture to her company’s advantage. That has included using her large social media presence to introduce new styles, for example, and getting the brand’s jewelry pieces on major stars at major moments – think: the “87” necklace worn by Taylor Swift at the 2024 Super Bowl.
On the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast, Gottlieb — who serves as her company’s CEO and designer — discusses those marketing strategies and others the brand is tackling, including collaborations. She also shares how her company, which has remained loyal to natural diamonds, is navigating the rise of lab-grown options and how it’s been hitting the gas on growth over the past two years. -

After exclusively working with Nike for 27 years, until January 2024, Tiger Woods is putting his expert stamps on golf apparel and accessories again — this time, under the Sun Day Red label.
Not so coincidentally launched in January, beginning with select golf clothing styles, Sun Day Red is best described as a collaboration between Woods and the 45-year-old golf gear brand TaylorMade. As of Wednesday, the company took a significant step by introducing its first golf shoes, developed according to Woods’s specifications and tested by the legend on the course.
According to Charley Hudak, the brand’s senior creative director of footwear, and Tyler Pinkos, its head of footwear development and sourcing — who both joined the Glossy Podcast for this week’s episode — the introductory Pioneer Cypress style is the first of many Sun Day Red shoes that will be hitting the market.

Since launching nine years ago in Byron Bay, Australia, Nagnata has been evolving from a local “movement wear” brand, focused on premium-knit activewear styles, to a global lifestyle brand selling categories including ready-to-wear, swimwear and menswear. More categories are coming next year, as are the brand’s first international stores.
According to founder Laura May Gibbs, who joined the Glossy Podcast this week, Nagnata has its sights set on a New York store, following a successful experience hosting a Soho pop-up in September. The U.S. is Nagnata’s second-largest market, following Australia, thanks in part to the brand’s retail partners which have worked wonders for awareness. They currently include Bergdorf Goodman, Ssense and Louisaviaroma, plus Net-a-Porter’s support gave the brand legs early on.
It’s not bad for a brand that has been completely self-funded.

Brandon Brubaker, co-founder of the 10-year-old SoCal sneaker brand Clearweather, is somewhat of a sneaker legend.
