Think of "note" as if in "notes of music", a "register", a "range". In the news, you have different "notes": grave ones (aircrash), serious ones (politics?), and lighter ones: fashion. The anchor is saying: "now, let's talk about fashion: there will be a new look for..."

I think there shouldn't be an -s at "look".

So, In accordance with you, "note" here means "column" ?

Yes, it could, but there are no "columns" in the 6 o'clock news.
