It’s a big week for Victoria’s Secret. A collaboration between PINK and LoveShackFancy was announced on Wednesday, hot on the heels of the news that the brand’s fashion show spectacle will return later this year. The upcoming partnership is brimming with pieces for Gen Z shoppers, landing just in time for back to school season.

The range will drop on August 6, following an immersive pop-up event the day before that’s set to paint the town pink in LoveShackFancy’s home base of New York City. The first-ever collab between the two brands will see PINK’s comfortable, cheeky, and fun everyday spirit infused with the romantic and dreamy aesthetic that Rebecca Hessel Cohen’s label is famous for. Think: feminine frills, bows, ruffles, and florals. And naturally — a focus on all things pink.

The collection brings together the loungewear and activewear pieces that Victoria’s Secret’s younger line is always a port of call for, such as rhinestone-studded lounge sets, crewneck sweaters and hoodies, pajamas, leggings, bralettes, and panties. There’ll also be a whole host of garments for dressing up in too, including varsity jackets, minis and maxis, ruffle trim skirts, and plenty of accessories.

In a press release announcing the capsule, founder and creative director Hessel Cohen said she had the carefree early aughts on the brain when co-designing the offering. “This collaboration with PINK feels like such a full-circle moment for me,” the former fashion editor said. “It celebrates our shared love of frills, florals, and everything pink — and captures that fun, carefree energy of the early 2000s. It’s playful, it’s feminine, and it brings our two worlds together in the most magical way.”

Pre-launch, the pieces, which will range in price from $20 to $200, have been brought to life in a campaign starring Gen Z favorites Coco Samone, Darianka Sanchez, Jordyn Miller, Samira Ahmed, Scarlett Rose Leithold, and Shannon Zhao.

Shoppers will be able to get a sneak peek ahead of the nationwide online launch if they find themselves in Manhattan on August 5. A pop-up will be located at 45 Grand Street, between West Broadway and Thompson Street in Soho, from 12 p.m to 7 p.m. filled with freebies, early access shopping, and more.

If that’s too long to wait, LoveShackFancy is also readying to release a sunglasses collaboration with popular New Orleans-based Krewe eyewear, set to debut this Friday, August 1.

As for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, a date has not yet been revealed for the reimagined format, which will be the first event unveiled under new creative director Adam Selman — formerly chief design officer for Savage X Fenty, the founder of Adam Selman Sport, and the stylist responsible for Rihanna’s era-defining ‘naked dress’ at the 2014 CFDAs.

With Selman at the reins, it’s sure to be one for the books.

Got a basket (or five) overflowing with fabric scraps you just can’t bring yourself to toss? Same here. That’s why I was so excited to come across the Mixed Media Fabric Blocks tutorial from Thermoweb. This project is a total game-changer for anyone looking to breathe new life into their leftover fabric bits.

Instead of throwing away those tiny pieces you’ve been hoarding — the selvages, the odd-sized squares, the trims that were too pretty to toss — this tutorial shows you how to transform them into mini masterpieces. Think of it as an art journal made with fabric.

A Creative Way to Use Every Last Scrap

What I love most about this project is how scrap-friendly it is. Seriously — there’s no need for perfectly matched prints or pristine cuts. In fact, the more variety, the better! You’ll layer fabrics, add paint, experiment with stencils, and throw in stitching and embellishments to create totally one-of-a-kind art blocks.

Using products like HeatnBond fusible web and Deco Foil Transfer Gel, you can blend your scraps into a textured, vibrant collage that’s equal parts quilted art and mixed media magic. And since each block is small, it’s the perfect low-pressure project to try something new.

Endless Ways to Use These Fabric Blocks

Once you’ve made a few blocks, the sky’s the limit. Turn them into wall hangings, art quilt panels, journal covers, bookmarks, or even greeting cards. They make thoughtful handmade gifts and are a fantastic way to showcase your favorite fabric prints — even if you only have a tiny sliver of them left.

Whether you’re a quilter looking to do something a little “outside the box” or a crafter with bins of scraps begging for attention, this tutorial is the perfect creative outlet.

Ready to Get Crafty with Your Scraps?

If your fabric stash is starting to take over your space (guilty!), this is the perfect excuse to dive in and start using it in the most creative way possible. You’ll reduce waste, explore mixed media techniques, and end up with something beautiful and uniquely yours.
