Giorgio Armani misses Milan Fashion Week for the first time in 50 years, but his designs shine
MILAN (AP) — Giorgio Armani's menswear collection for the next warm weather season encoded the geography of summer in textures, geometrical designs and his signature relaxed silhouettes. The 90-year-old designer skipped the runway preview show closing Milan Fashion Week on Monday to recover from an undisclosed condition, but his fashion house said he kept a hand in the designs and watched the runway show on live stream. It marked the first time in his career that the designer was absent. Dell'Orco takes a bow Taking the closing bow in his stead was Armani's longtime head of menswear, Leo Dell'Orco, who has worked alongside Armani for 45 of the Giorgio Armani fashion house's 50 years. 'He liked it,'' Dell'Orco told reporters after the show, adding that Armani was especially happy to see that he had sent male-female couples down the mostly menswear runway in matching looks, underlining their versatility. Classic Armani silhouettes The collection was classic Armani: roomy wide pleated trousers paired with a seemingly endless array of softly constructed jackets, from a double-breasted made casual with shawl collars to shirt-weight leather coats. Vests with a deep-V front substituted for shirts, for looks that transition from work to leisure. The collection found balance in the melding of textures – raw linen, woven leather, soft suede and flowing silk. From a distance, ensembles may have appeared monochromatic, but a closer look revealed a harmonious blending of seemingly mismatched geometrical patterns and textures, adding depth to the looks. There was a touch of the exotic in the shapes, like Nehru collar, tunics or a kimono jacket, reflecting Armani's love of travel, without overwhelming the mood. Relaxed mood Delicate decorative pins reflected the light, the sole adornment. Beachy touches included rope sandals and belts, which cinched through a loop. The showroom was awash in Mediterranean blue and featured installations of obsidian black stones, reflecting the sophisticated color palette that included washed-out desert shades, the palest green, deep blues and urban blacks and gray. Front-row guests included actors Giancarlo Esposito, who most recently appeared in 'Captain America: Brave New World,'' and Jason Isaacs, who was in the third season of 'White Lotus.'

Photo: Barcelona star De Jong enjoying vacation with former Blaugrana teammate
Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong is currently enjoying his summer vacation alongside a former teammate at the Camp Nou. The player in question? Sergi Roberto. Midfielder De Jong, like the rest of Barcelona's squad, is currently in the midst of a well-earned break from competitive action. Advertisement After a thoroughly successful campaign in 2024/25, and with no place at the Club World Cup, Hansi Flick's stars have spread out across the globe, to enjoy a month-long vacation. The aforementioned De Jong is one such player, who, after recovering from a long-term injury, played a leading role for Barca over the 2nd half of the term. And as alluded to above, over the last 24 hours, the Dutchman was spotted enjoying a meal with a former member of the midfield ranks at the Camp Nou. The photo in question can be seen below, with De Jong joined by none other than Sergi Roberto – currently plying his club trade in Italy with Como: Conor Laird – GSFN

Allison Williams wants Girls reunion
Allison Williams would "love" to be part of a Girls reunion. The 37-year-old actress shot to fame playing Marnie in the HBO series, which ran for six seasons until 2017, and she has backed former co-star Zosia Mamet's calls for a spin-off series because she is so keen to get the cast "back together". Asked if there would be a Girls reunion, she told The Guardian newspaper: "I would love it. I know that Zosia has been pushing for a spin-off, which I would voraciously consume and try to elbow my way into. "I kind of want us all back together. "It was so fun and it was the beginning of my career, so I didn't have the perspective I have now on just how lucky we were, or to know how unusual a creative experience it was.' Despite her enthusiasm, Allison initially struggled with viewers thinking she was similar to her narcissistic alter ego on the show. She said: 'I really desired to put distance between us, because I thought that was the kind of acting everybody respected – like, I'm wearing a prosthetic nose and I gained 40lbs, or whatever. "And here [our characters] were, who looked basically like we looked and sounded like we sounded, but crucially said and did things that we would never do. It always felt weird that, since we didn't transform ourselves in some way, people weren't buying us playing characters.' Girls faced a lot of criticism, including for a lack of racial diversity, but Allison thinks any "valid" viewpoints got lost amidst a tide of unfair comments. She said: "[It felt like there were] a gazillion think pieces about every episode that we did – and most thought we all took ourselves too seriously. We were all pretty privileged people who were the leads of this HBO show that was definitely skewering our own, but we weren't given credit for that, or for being in on it." Of the unjust comments directed their way, she added: "The shame is that, when it is coupled with misogyny and fatphobia and everything, the valid criticism gets lost. "We were easy targets, I get it.'
