Style Inspo: Lucinda Pikkat On What Makes Brands 'Cool' - Part 2

In this weeks second part fashion drop, our deep dive with trend forecasting genius Lucinda Pikkat, we get into how to actually discover those underground labels before everyone else does. Turns out Lucinda's secret weapon is diving into specific "categories" each week—right now she's obsessing over surf culture and spotting opportunities for Australian surf brands.

We unpack whether coolness can be manufactured, with Lucinda breaking down the New Balance phenomenon—how Ryan Gosling literally threw them off a balcony in "Crazy Stupid Love" for being uncool, only for them to become fashion-girl essentials years later.

Plus, discover Lucinda's "Country Club chic" style secrets and the top bougie and budget brand picks that deserve your attention.
