'Dakota Johnson is a true original. I love her expressions — an artist with authenticity, depth, and a unique ability to connect,' founder and creative director Roberto Coin said.

This partnership ushers in a new chapter for Coin, who previously tapped famed models to front campaigns and is now turning to the Hollywood actress.
'We've previously worked with incredible models like Arizona Muse and Christy Turlington to represent the beauty and craft of our jewelry,' Coin told WWD. 'With Dakota, we're evolving — not just showcasing jewelry, but aligning with a voice and personality that resonates more deeply with today's luxury consumer.
'This is about emotion, identity, and storytelling beyond the visual. Dakota is both contemporary and classic — much like the women who wear Roberto Coin,' the founder said. 'She's an artist, a risk-taker, and a woman of substance. Her quiet confidence and nuanced style reflect the essence of what we design: beauty with meaning. There was an instant synergy. She didn't just wear the jewelry — she understood it.'
Starting in June and running through May 2027, Johnson will appear in a new global campaign photographed by Craig McDean. Set against the historical backdrop of Venice, the campaign aims to capture the fusion of classic Italian beauty and contemporary elegance that Roberto Coin's jewelry exemplifies. For Coin, the connection to the romantic city is deeply personal. Born in Venice, the founder says the city's essence has profoundly shaped his creativity — its rich history, majestic architecture, and vibrant artistic culture have long influenced his designs and inspired many of his collections.
'I've always believed that jewelry tells a story — of who you are, where you've been, and what you love,' Johnson said in a statement. 'Roberto Coin's pieces are full of depth and meaning, and I'm honored to help bring that spirit to life through this collaboration. There's romance, strength, and bold femininity in every design.'
The campaign rolls out with both video and still photography, highlighting Johnson wearing pieces from the brand's key collections: Love in Verona, Venetian Princess, Navarra, Obelisco, Tiaré, and Cobra. Rounding out the new role, the actress will make global appearances and participate in creative initiatives, helping to share the Roberto Coin story.

Maserati ready to present new business plan very soon, brand boss says
MODENA, Italy (Reuters) -Maserati plans to present a new business plan shortly, soon after parent company Stellantis' new CEO Antonio Filosa officially starts in his job later this month, the head of the struggling luxury carmaker said on Thursday. The loss-making Italian brand, the only one in the luxury segment for the world's fourth largest automaker, has no new model launches scheduled at the moment, with Stellantis reviewing Maserati's strategies after a previous business plan was put on hold last year. Maserati CEO Santo Ficili said the plan was being finalised and would not just include new products but also redesign relations with dealers and the assistance network. "We have clear ideas about what we want to do, we hope we can be ready very soon," Ficili said at the Motor Valley Fest in the Italian city of Modena, where Maserati is headquartered. "Let's wait for Antonio to take up his job," he added. Stellantis last week named its North American chief Filosa, an Italian national, as its new CEO. His appointment will be effective from June 23. "Antonio loves the (Maserati) brand, I am sure we'll do great things," Ficili said, adding Maserati will continue to design, engineer and manufacture all its models in Italy. Asked about market speculation that Stellantis could assess a sale of Maserati amid poor results and falling sales, Ficili reiterated the group had no plans at all to divest from it. Ficili, who is also the head of Stellantis premium brand Alfa Romeo, said a review of the Alfa plan was imminent too. The group has hired consultant McKinsey to advise on strategies for Maserati and Alfa Romeo as they face a hit from U.S. tariffs. Maserati makes around 30% of its sales in the U.S., while Alfa Romeo generates some 15%. Sign in to access your portfolio

I moved to Boston expecting to love it. I only lasted a year.
Shortly before my 23rd birthday, I was diagnosed with Asperger's, now known as autism spectrum disorder. I'd been studying to become a high school English teacher. However, after a difficult substitute teaching internship, I decided that path wasn't for me. The glitzy city of Boston felt like the logical next step, so in 2010, I moved from my small hometown of Stonington, CT, to Boston, expecting to love it. I hadn't considered how the city's hustle and bustle would clash with my neurodivergence, and it was a hard lesson learned. I couldn't land a consistent job I wanted I started working in retail, first at Tiffany & Co., but I didn't make it through training. Then I tried a commission-based job at Jimmy Choo, but my neurodivergence made it difficult for me to talk to people and sell them on certain items. Ultimately, this led to a conversation with my boss, during which I tearfully explained my diagnosis, and we both agreed I should give my two weeks' notice. Then, I was a transcriptionist for a company called Sten-Tel, but little work was available and didn't pay enough for me to get by. I eventually took a hostessing job at McCormick & Schmick's, where I worked up until I left the city. Riding the public transport stressed me out I loathed the "T," aka the MBTA subway system in Boston. Being autistic, I didn't like the crowds to begin with, and the MBTA subways were often packed. I also got nauseous and a bit fearful when the train swayed around turns. This was during my pre- AirPod days, and it wasn't easy putting up with these sensory issues, especially since my sensitive stomach prevented me from reading while in transit to distract myself. And despite the city's walkability, I couldn't get everywhere on foot, and I became impatient, frustrated, and stressed whenever I had to use the subway.

My living and social situations weren't ideal, either I couldn't afford to live in Boston alone, so I rented an apartment with two other people. I already knew from my college dorm days that living with multiple roommates wasn't easy, and my Boston roommates were no exception. One of my roommate's dogs kept using my room as a toilet. As an animal lover, I blamed the human and committed the petty crime of ice cream theft. Despite all the bad, there are a couple of fond memories, like the pair of Burberry rain boots I bought in the city that I still wear, and how cool it was to meet Jesse Eisenberg while he was promoting a movie. I moved back to my hometown in Connecticut 1 year after living in Boston When I told people I was moving back to Connecticut, I claimed this was mainly to save up the money needed for grad school in the fall. However, in reality, I knew it was because Boston, and perhaps any big city, wasn't for me. That lesson has stuck with me, especially as I've come to recognize my sensory sensitivity and how this clashes with the hustle and bustle of a large city. I'm still grateful for my experiences in Boston, though. It taught me that, while I can live on my own and find things to occupy my time, a city like Boston is not where I'm meant to live. I now live in Westerly, RI, a fairly quiet beach town — at least during the off season. My work is fully remote as a ghostwrite, proofreader, freelance writer, and film critic. The more laid-back lifestyle here is better suited to my personality than what I'd experienced in Boston. And whenever I feel inclined to experience city life, I head to Providence for an evening or two.

8 best Father's Day gifts 2025 — here's my top picks as a Dad
Father's Day is June 15, so time is running out to find the perfect gift. If your dad is into gadgets, you're in luck — we've rounded up some of the coolest tech gifts he's sure to love. I'm a Dad and a full-on tech nerd myself, and I handpicked several of these items to feature on TV for a Father's Day segment. Whether your Dad is into movies, video games, golf, or just loves a clever gadget, there's something here that'll hit the mark. From the red-hot Nintendo Switch 2 to sunglasses that stream music and a golf rangefinder so advanced it feels like cheating, these gifts deliver serious wow factor. Even better? Some of them are on sale, so you can make dad's day without breaking the bank. Just don't wait too long—these picks are popular, and shipping deadlines are coming up fast. If your Dad travels a lot, or is just always on the go, he'll love this MagSafe power bank. It packs a 10,000 mAh battery built in and can fully charge on iPhone 16 Pro nearly twice Even better, the 3-in-1 design lets you charge your AirPods and Apple Watch at the same time. And with support for Apple's StandBy mode, it turns his iPhone into a sleek bedside alarm clock when docked. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.

Dads who spend a lot of time outdoors, especially those who like to exercise, will vibe with the Chamelo Music Shield. These high-tech shades let you control the level of tint just by sliding your finger over the right arm of the glasses. If you like to rock out while you work out (like me), the Music Shield lives up to its name with its built-in speakers. So you can listen to music without earbuds — as well as take calls — while still being able to hear the world around you. Sunglasses have long been a staple of every kid's Father's Day gift repertoire. These take sun-blocking and inject tons of tech — they have tint-adjusting technology and a built-in speakers that'll make these the coolest sunglasses Dad has ever owned. This is the rangefinder my colleague Dave uses every round — and he swears by it. Here in the Northeast, bad weather often means cart-path-only golf, where you're not allowed to drive up to your ball. That usually means guessing your distance, grabbing a few clubs, and hoping you picked the right one. The CaddyTalk Cube solves that problem. It lets you measure the distance between the ball and the flag without having to walk to your shot first. If your dad plays in similar conditions, this rangefinder will make his rounds a whole lot easier — and a lot more fun. If your Dad is a golfer, this affordable rangefinder has all the standard distance measuring technology he'd expect from a rangefinder, including slope. It also triangulates two points. This means he can see how far the ball is from the hole without requiring him to stand over it, making it perfect for cart-path-only golf rounds. Dads who love movie night will get a kick out of the MoGo 3 Pro outodoor projector. It delivers full HD visuals up to 120 inches using a 130-degree adjustable stand, so getting the right angle is a breeze. With Google TV built in, he'll have instant access to all his favorite streaming apps, from Netflix to Prime Video. And there's 5-watt Harman Kardon speakers built in for surprisingly rich sound.

Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube are already built into this projector, making it easy to watch whatever you want. It projects up to 120 inches of screen, so you can get that movie theater feel any time. Add in the Harmon Kardon and you have a perfect gift for the movie-loving Dad in your life. Move over, Bose and Apple. The Sony WH-1000XM6 are arguably the best headphones for Dads who demand the very best sound quality along with top-notch noise cancellation. You're guaranteed to block out the chaos of your commute or the roar of a plane engine plane engine with Sony's real-time noise cancellation system, which leverages advanced processors and adaptive mics. That noise cancelling comes in handy for calls, too. In fact, in our Sony WH-1000XM6 review, we praised the crystal-clear call quality. The touch controls are also intuitive, and you get an impressive 30 hours of battery life with the ANC turned on. These are on the pricey side, but they're worth every penny. These are some of the best headphones you can get.

Plus, you get 30 hours of juice on a charge. Does Dad like Mario? Then he'll love it if you can score him a Nintendo Switch 2, which is easily the most sought-after gadget of the year. That's why we have a Switch 2 live blog going, helping people find stock as it arrives. So what makes it so special? The Switch 2 packs a larger 7.9-inch display, improved 4K graphics (when docked) and improved Joy-Con 2 controllers that attach magnetically to the console. The game lineup looks like a blast, to, with titles like Mario Kart World. And Nintendo is evolving the gaming experience with GameChat and the optional $54 Switch 2 camera, which lets Dad put his face right in the game and interact with his kids even if they're miles away. Maybe it's not nice to share this one here since it's nearly impossible to find a Switch 2, but if you do manage to get one for your Dad for Father's Day, you'll be his favorite (assuming he likes video games). Just make sure to follow our Switch 2 restock live blog for the latest updates. Give the gift of Dad never having to go on an ice run again.

Galaxy S25 Edge: up to $750 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung The Galaxy S25 Edge isn't a cheap gift, but if your Dad needs a new phone and he likes his devices to be thin and light, it might be worth throwing down for the S25 Edge.
