Hello everyone. Welcome to Dear Alice. Today we're going to be talking about six trends to ditch for 26. Oh, I'm so excited. Happy New Year, guys. Are you ready for 26? So ready. Yeah. I'm always ready for the New Year because I feel like that's where I set all my goals and I'm like, I'm doing this. And then, yeah, we'll see how it goes.. We're living in the future. Like 2026, guys.

I'm like, the first quarter of the century is out, like on to.

So wild.

Isn't that weird?

Yeah.

It is so weird.

Gosh, I'm going to probably die in the next 25 years.

Oh, come on.

See that.

Stop.

Every time my mom says, I'm like, absolutely not.

You will not. Thank you.

Just kidding. Anyway, change the subject. 26. I know. That just shot me right in between the eyes. I can't even believe. Yeah, it is starting a whole new quarter century. Yeah. We're doing it. Here we are. Think about like the 1920s. Like what a crazy time that was. and like what design wise that did as far as like shifts like, yeah, we're feeling that. We're feeling a shift. I've been like restiling my office and I have two different books from two different publishers both thick, like two inches thick, gorgeous big design books. Both are called Paris in the 1920s.

1920s was such a shift for so, for not just Paris, but also America. Just style-wise. And I feel

I mean, if you think about the 1920s, it was like, you know, on the heels of like World War I and then, you know, before the Great Depression, but then also like a lot of innovation. And we're kind of sitting in that pocket right now with like industrialization. It really is. We're like what is good. We don't even know what's going to happen. Like so talking about design like, you know, before we started recording, like there's a lot of stuff happening and stuff we've been seeing

for a long time. And now it's kind of like coming to pass. And it's just, yeah, super cool. Yeah. But I have to look forward to. It's an exciting time to be in the design industry and feel it. And I mean, I have to say for fashion as well, we're feeling a huge paradigm shift. Yeah. But I mean, Before we get into that really quick, I just want to say
