Sofitel revives hotel uniforms with Cordelia de Castellane
French luxury hotel chain Sofitel has collaborated with Paris-based French designer Cordelia de Castellane, who has been artistic director of Dior Home and Baby Dior since 2012, to revitalise the uniforms for its 25,000 employees worldwide. The new 45-piece collection will offer a new closet for all employees at Sofitel's 120-plus hotels worldwide, blending timeless silhouettes with practical needs, utilising a variety of fabrics, textures, and navy and beige colour palettes to ensure suitability for both city hotels and resorts. In a statement, Sofitel said that De Castellane's uniforms will suit all professions and destinations, while expressing 'an elegant, fluid, and boldly contemporary style' in reflection of the French luxury brand. Key looks include a belted shirtdress, a knitted dress and double-breasted jackets. Sofitel reinvents hotel uniform with French designer Cordelia de Castellane Credits: Sofitel Maud Bailly, chief executive of Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery and Emblems, said: 'The Sofitel Vestiaire is much more than a uniform: it's a manifesto. It's a tribute to our teams, who are the first to embody the renaissance of Sofitel. It reflects the joy of embracing a brand, the pride of being its ambassador, and the desire to wear our values in silk, knit, or cotton. 'We want this wardrobe to be emotionally resonant, exacting and refined, but also effortlessly chic. That's why we needed a visionary. This partnership with Cordelia de Castellane is the meeting of two visions of luxury, united by a shared passion for exceptional design." The new uniforms will embody 'French zest' and will be crafted using flexible and durable materials, which the hotel chain said will be internationally tested across pilot locations to meet 'the everyday needs of hotel staff'. The wardrobe will also adapt to all body types, roles, and climates, 'ensuring both comfort and elegance'. Sofitel reinvents hotel uniform with French designer Cordelia de Castellane Credits: Sofitel On the uniform design, De Castellane added: "For me, Sofitel is a madeleine de Proust. It brings back childhood memories, iconic hotels, and a very specific vision of French luxury. Sofitel is more than a hotel brand — it's a way of life, a natural elegance paired with a deep openness to the world. Paris was a major inspiration for this collection — because Paris means effortless chic, cultural richness, precision tailoring, and that uniquely bold creativity. 'I wanted to imagine a wardrobe that expresses this Parisian sophistication, but also the warmth of hospitality and the pride of representing a house. These are garments designed to last, to move with the body, and to make every team member feel beautiful, free, and proud." The design will also reflect Sofitel's dedication to responsible luxury and will be developed in partnership with Paris Good Fashion, an initiative that ensures every step of production respects principles of sustainability, repairability, and recyclability to reduce environmental impact and contribute to more responsible resource management.

According to friends, the relationship 'fizzled out' around three weeks after David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations. But it seems Romeo may already be moving on. He and Caroline were seen making a low-key exit from the event - leaving separately to avoid being photographed side by side - before climbing into the same car with pals and continuing the night out. They headed on to Julia nightclub in the French capital. Romeo kept his outfit laid-back with a black jumper, dark tracksuit bottoms and blue trainers. Caroline opted for a strapless little black dress and knee-high black boots. It's thought the pair bonded over a shared love of tennis, having both attended the French Open's Men's Singles Semi Final on Friday.

Aldi's £3 buy keep pesky flies out of your home all summer – and it smells amazing too
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALDI is selling a £3 product that will keep flies out of your home all summer long, and make your house smell amazing. Summer is finally here, and according to the Met Office, it's set to be a scorcher. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Flies can be a real nuisance 2 Aldi is launching a lavender plant for £3.79 However, although there are so many positives to summer, from warm weather to longer days, it also has its downsides, such as the emergence of irritating pests. House flies can be an incredible annoyance at this time of year, as they sneak in through open doors and windows. Chasing them around with rolled-up newspapers and makeshift fly swatters can seem an endless task, and can ruin your summer's evening. However, according to experts, a quick and easy way to get rid of them is to plant pest-repelling herbs in the garden. Although lavender is one of the most beloved scents for humans, flies can't stand the scent of it. Therefore, if you plant the fragrant flower near the entrance to your home or on the windowsill, it will act as a barrier against flies. Plus, lavender also attracts bees, which will give your garden a wildlife boost. Anyone wanting to try out this simple hack won't have to fork out much, as Aldi is launching a lavender plant for just £3.79. The bargain bloom will be available at stores across the UK from June 12, so flower fans had better set their alarms to be in with the chance of snagging the product. Another plant that flies hate the scent of is cooking staple basil. Tips and Tricks to Keep Your Garden Pest-Free Purchasing a pot and placing it on the windowsill will keep the insects at bay. Plus, you can pull of a leaf or two and add it to pastas, pizzas or salads to enhance their flavour. Mint is another plant that flies can't stand due to its sharp refreshing scent. Plus, it works great as an addition to summer cocktails such as mojitos. Keep pests out all summer IF you want to ensure that your home is pest free this summer, here's what you need to know. Hornets and wasps - hate the smell of peppermint oil so spraying this liberally around your patio or balcony can help to keep them at bay. Moths - acidic household white vinegar is effective for deterring moths. Soak some kitchen roll in vinegar and leave it in your wardrobe as a deterrent. Flying ants - herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, mint, chilli pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, or garlic act as deterrents. Mosquitoes - plants, herbs and essential oil fragrances can help deter mozzies inside and out. Try eucalyptus, lavender and lemongrass. How to Care for Lavender To get the most out of your lavender, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Once it's settled in, it won't need much watering – in fact, it prefers to stay on the dry side. French lavender typically flowers from late spring into early autumn, with a peak bloom period between May and September. Some varieties, like Lavandula stoechas "Papillon" and "Tiara", are known for their continuous flowering from late spring to early autumn. After French lavender flowers, you should trim the spent flower stalks to encourage more blooms and keep the plant compact. You can also prune the plant back in late summer or early spring to rejuvenate it and prevent it from becoming woody.
