Glance x DIRECTV Partnership Brings AI-Powered Interactivity to TV Screens
Fashion isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about who you feel like being in that moment. At Glance, we believe every outfit is a story waiting to be told, and inspiration can strike anywhere. Recently, we transformed a beloved corner of NYC into a playground where fashion and self-expression meet technology, creativity, and style. Hundreds of visitors came to explore, play, and discover how the clothes they see and love can become a reflection of their unique personality.
For three days in midtown Manhattan, our iconic pop-up became a hub of energy, creativity, and discovery. From morning till evening, visitors streamed in to experience something truly different: fashion that begins not with a search, but with inspiration. Imagine walking by, taking a moment to capture your style, and instantly seeing outfits designed just for you. That’s the Glance experience.
What made this weekend extra special was the incredible mix of visitors. From trendsetters to everyday fashion lovers, everyone found a way to play, try, and express themselves. The energy was contagious—friends compared outfits, swapped style tips, and captured their favorite looks to share. Every corner of our space buzzed with creativity, laughter, and the joy of discovery.
At Glance, we’ve reimagined the way people shop. Instead of scrolling through endless options or wondering what might suit them, visitors could start with their mood, personality, and inspiration. A quick snap and our platform brought curated looks to life, designed to reflect individual style, proportions, and personality.
Every outfit was instantly shoppable. Guests could explore a wide variety of brands and take inspiration directly from the moment—turning a fun experience into a seamless way to shop what they loved. This approach flips the usual fashion routine: instead of asking “what should I buy?” people were encouraged to ask, “who do I want to be today?”
Part of the magic of this weekend was the celebrity presence, which added excitement without overshadowing the visitor experience. The Nader Sisters, along with Meredith and Brooks Marks and Rachel Zoe, stopped by to explore the space. Watching them engage, laugh, and discover curated looks alongside everyday visitors emphasized something important: fashion is for everyone, and inspiration is universal.
Their participation also highlighted the versatility and appeal of our approach. Whether it’s a high-profile stylist like Rachel Zoe or a fashion-loving visitor trying something new, Glance empowers people to explore their personal style confidently and creatively. Celebrities weren’t just attending—they were engaging, experimenting, and sharing the excitement of the space, making the experience aspirational yet approachable.
The pop-up wasn’t just a space to try outfits—it was a living, breathing showcase of inspiration-led fashion. Friends could see side-by-side suggestions, experiment with different combinations, and discover how a single item could transform an entire look. Every selfie, every outfit, and every moment was part of a dynamic style journey, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of fashion discovery.
Even the smallest details were designed to make the experience feel personal and fun. Guests could take home inspiration digitally, share their favorite looks on social media, and leave with a sense of confidence and excitement about their style choices.
While our pop-up was the star, it was also part of a broader wave of experiences happening around the city. From interactive beauty pop-ups and curated café experiences to playful activations combining fashion and lifestyle, NYC was alive with opportunities to discover, engage, and explore.
Visitors could enjoy curated skincare experiences, taste exclusive treats, or even participate in interactive photo sessions. Everywhere you turned, there was something to spark creativity, style, or conversation. Glance’s space stood out because it combined all these elements: fashion, technology, and self-expression, centered entirely around the visitor.
Fashion is more than just products—it’s a form of self-expression. Our goal with this NYC activation was to make every visitor feel empowered to explore who they could be through style. By letting inspiration lead the way, we remove the guesswork from shopping and invite everyone to play with possibilities, personalities, and moods.
This approach isn’t just about trends; it’s about confidence, creativity, and fun. The weekend showed that when fashion meets inspiration, shopping becomes a joyful experience rather than a chore.
Our NYC weekend was just the beginning. Glance is committed to bringing inspiration-led experiences to more people, in more ways. Whether it’s through technology, curated fashion content, or immersive pop-ups, we want everyone to experience the thrill of discovering the version of themselves they’ve been imagining.
Fashion is no longer just on the runway—it’s personal, interactive, and everywhere you want it to be. From the energy of a busy city street to the comfort of your home, inspiration-led shopping is redefining how we see style, and Glance is leading the way.
Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast, a content creator, or someone curious about discovering new styles, the Glance experience is for you. Step into inspiration, explore curated looks, and leave with a newfound sense of confidence in your style.
Because at Glance, fashion isn’t just what you wear—it’s who you become.
