LoveShackFancy Resort 2026 Collection
Rebecca Hessel Cohen believes that during 'resort,' the Loveshackfancy woman operates with the following schedule: first, she's out and about attending holiday parties around town. Then, she's hosting intimate dinners for her family at home, whether that's in New York, Charleston, or wherever else Loveshakfancy has a store. Finally, it's New Years, and she's off to celebrate on the slopes of Aspen or the shores of St. Barths. 'Our customers are traveling to all the places at this time,' Hessel Cohen said. Naturally, the brand's new resort collection addresses all those occasions. There's a number of evening dresses and gowns meant for a Christmas party or black tie soirée. Many of them boast glittering stars and a palette of sun-like gold or moon-like ivory. Hessel Cohen said that they took their opulent cues from the Venetian palazzos of Ca' d'Oro and Ca' Rezzonico. Indeed, a soft white tulle gown with beaded stars would pair perfectly with a Venetian mask, as would a long black dress with gold sequins. 'Our customer is really coming to us for event dressing," she noted. Although Loveshackfancy is best known for its silk bias-cut dresses. in this collection Hessel Cohen and co. explore the more casual side of the brand with knitwear looks. (Not so coincidentally, the company just opened a cold-weather store in Aspen and in the next few months will do so in Chicago.) Metallic knit dresses and miniskirts come with cardigan shrugs. There's even a Loveshackfancy interpretation of a Fair Isle sweater. Then there comes their take on New Year's party dressing. Mini dresses are adorned with gold sequins or pink flower paillettes. One maxi dress feels like a pastel disco ball with its deep-v neckline and rhinestones. A bohemian-flavored powder blue set and another in white feathers look ripe for those ringing in 2026 on a beach. Some of the designs in this collection can feel quite young—it's hard to imagine a grown woman wearing a spaghetti-strap tartan minidress with a bow hemline or a tutu-like pink frock. But then again, Loveshackfancy's core audience has always included pre-teen, teen, and college students. ('The New Tween Status Look: LoveShackFancy Dresses,' read a Wall Street Journal headline in 2021.) That said, Hessel Cohen does report that the brand has recently seen a 'mature and elevated customer' coming through the doors. She's responding in kind, offering evening looks at higher price-points: one dress in the collection retails close to $1,800. It doesn't have any bows.

Unity CTO Steve Collins steps down after six months
Steve Collins, the CTO of the game engine developer Unity, is stepping down, a company representative confirmed to TechCrunch. He joined Unity just six months ago after serving as CTO of King, the mobile gaming company behind Candy Crush. According to Unity, Collins made the decision to leave the company of his own accord. 'We can confirm that Steve Collins has decided to leave Unity for personal reasons,' a company representative said. 'We're grateful for his contributions. As we continue our transformation, we're confident our world-class tech team will keep driving the strategy forward.' Unity has faced much internal strife over the last few years. In fall 2023, the company announced controversial changes to its pricing model that enraged the developer community. Though some of these changes were walked back, the company's CEO John Riccitiello resigned as a result. Months later, Unity laid off 25% of its staff, amounting to 1800 jobs. Though Unity now has some distance from those events, some game developers remain distrusting of the company. Collins' departure is not necessarily related to the Unity's struggles, but another executive shakeup could prove disruptive.
