Boucheron debuts first Los Angeles boutique on Rodeo Drive
Located on Rodeo Drive, the 5,296-square-foot space serves as Boucheron's West Coast flagship.
The boutique concept draws inspiration from Hollywood, characterized by a Boucheron green carpet, reinterpreting Hollywood's famous red carpet. Inside, the layout is composed of distinct areas that highlight the Maison's creative vision, culminating in a VIP space designed to capture the exclusive energy of an Oscar after-party.
Accessible via a staircase lined with wallpaper featuring Boucheron's historic advertising campaigns, the room invites guests into a dramatic, cinematic setting. Shades of violet, pink, and blue dominate, accented by silver satin and touches of bitter orange.
Completing the space are original portraits of Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth displayed alongside the pieces they once wore, a nod to the Maison's enduring relationship with American cinema and style.
Meanwhile, the exterior facade draws inspiration from nature interpreted through an art deco lens, crafted in a green terracotta volcanic stone component. The nature that we find on the façade also continues inside with the bas-reliefs on the wall.
Lastly, throughout the store, handpicked unique pieces contribute to the overall charm and character.

‘Baby Shark' song not plagiarised, South Korean top court rules
South Korea's Supreme Court ruled today that the globally popular children's song 'Baby Shark' was not plagiarised, ending a six-year legal battle over an American composer's copyright claim. US composer Jonathan Wright accused South Korean kids content company Pinkfong of copying elements from his own earlier version of the tune. He filed a lawsuit in Seoul in 2019 and sought 30 million won (approx. €18,500) in compensation. Wright, also known as Johnny Only, released his version in 2011, four years before Pinkfong's, but both were based on a traditional melody popular for years at children's summer camps in the United States. South Korea's top court upheld lower court rulings dating back to 2021 and 2023 that found no sufficient grounds to conclude Pinkfong infringed on Jonathan Wright's copyright. Throughout the case's prolonged run, the courts consistently ruled Wright's version did not differ enough from the original melody to qualify as an original creative work eligible for copyright protection, and that Pinkfong's song had clear differences from Wright's. The Supreme Court said its ruling reaffirms the established legal principle on existing folk tunes as derivative work. 'The Supreme Court accepts the lower court's finding that the plaintiff's song did not involve substantial modifications to the folk tune related to the case to the extent that it could be regarded, by common social standards, as a separate work,' it said in a statement. Pinkfong said in a statement to that the ruling confirmed its version of 'Baby Shark' was based on a 'traditional singalong chant' that was in the public domain. The company said it gave the tune a fresh twist by adding 'an upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, turning it into the pop culture icon it is today.' Chong Kyong-sok, Wright's South Korean attorney, said he hadn't received the full version of the court's ruling yet, but called the outcome 'a little disappointing.' 'Anyway, the matter is now settled,' he said. 'It's our work that came out first, so we can handle the licensing on our side and I guess we then each go our separate ways.' Pinkfong's 'Baby Shark' became a global phenomenon after it was released on YouTube in 2015. A year later, the company uploaded a second video which showed two child actors doing hand movements on the song's catchy "doo doo doo doo doo doo" hook. 'Baby Shark Dance' became the most-viewed YouTube video of all time, now exceeding 16 billion views. The song was also featured in various cultural products, including in The Angry Birds Movie 2 and in TV series The Umbrella Academy. 'Baby Shark' remains a crucial product for Pinkfong, which earned 45.1 billion won ($32.6 million) in revenue in the first half of 2025, according to its regulatory filing. The company has turned the five-member shark family - Baby Shark, Mama Shark, Papa Shark, Grandma Shark, and Grandpa Shark - into TV and Netflix shows, films, smartphone apps and globally touring musicals.

With 'Alien: Earth,' the creator of 'Fargo' has brilliantly hijacked Ridley Scott's universe
On demand – Series Fame and fortune came to Noah Hawley after he implanted an idea in a foreign body – namely, the Coen brothers' 1996 feature film Fargo, which he used as the template for a series that, since 2014, has brilliantly revisited American anxiety and remorse. It is hardly surprising, then, that this virtuoso practitioner of creative parasitism has turned to the xenomorph that has haunted human nightmares since 1979. Nearly half a century ago, the first incarnation of the Alien creature burst from the chest of Second Officer Kane. This creature who carries the young of her species has served under the direction of Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Over the years, she has been by turns a symbol of the hubris that leads humanity to disregard the rest of the universe, the crystallization of corporate greed and the embodiment of an all-consuming femininity. What was Hawley going to do with her? While revealing as little as possible about the tangle of narrative threads and twists that make this first season (six out of eight episodes were previewed) − a structure one never tires of exploring − a word of warning: That same xenomorph, with her grotesquely elongated skull, razor-sharp teeth and corrosive blood, is not at the center of Alien: Earth. The creature will appear, though, since her eggs are aboard the freighter Maginot, chartered by the multinational Weyland-Yutani (as was the Nostromo back in the day), which, at the start of the first episode, is preparing to return to Earth after collecting a few specimens of extraterrestrial wildlife. The name of the spaceship, borrowed from the Maginot Line that failed to stop the German invasion in 1940, will make it clear – at least to French viewers over the age of 90 – that this is, above all, a story about borders and their permeability. Hawley brings his moralistic gaze to questions common to both science fiction and philosophy: humanity's relationship to its environment (which here extends beyond our own planet), the desire for immortality and, as a corollary, the possibility of redefining what it means to be human.

Citizens' petition 'Stop Destroying Games' reaches 1.4mln signatures
The citizens' petition "Stop Destroying Games" has attracted more than 1.4 million signatures across the European Union. It's looking likely that the European Commission will have to examine petition and decide whether or not new laws are needed to force video game companies to preserve discontinued online games. "It's a form of programmed obsolescence. Many video an online component. And when this online component is deactivated, not by the publisher but by the video game distributor, the game is unplayable", Daniel Ondruska, a representative of the initiative, told Euronews. He gives the example of the online racing game The Crew, launched in 2014 by the French company Ubisoft, which has not been accessible since 2024. He condemns a growing practice which, in his view, undermines consumer protection and destroys cultural heritage. "All we are asking is that when the game is suspended, it has an end-of-life plan to remain reasonably playable. We don't expect it to be completely playable with all the options, just that the core of the game is still playable for someone who has legally purchased it," Ondruska explained. "We're not asking for intellectual property, we're not asking to monetise, we're not asking to resell or anything like that. The only thing is, if we buy a product, we want to use that product." Video Games Europe Video Games Europe, the lobby group for the video games industry, said in a statement in July that stopping an online game "must be an option for companies" when it is no longer "commercially viable." "We understand that this can be disappointing for players, but when this happens, the industry ensures that players receive reasonable notice of potential changes in accordance with local consumer protection laws," the group said in the statement. It added that saving video games on private servers is not an alternative because there would be no data protection, no removal of illegal content and no fight against dangerous content. When contacted for comment by Euronews, Video Games Europe declined the request, referring us instead to the press release. Citizens' initiative The European citizens' initiative "Stop Destroying Games" was submitted on 19 June 2024 and launched on 31 July of the same year. It had one year to collect one million signatures in the European Union and reach minimum thresholds in at least seven Member States. That target was reached on 4 July. Since Monday, it has been at the verification stage. Member States now have three months to check the validity of the signatures. But there is still a long way to go. The organisers will then have to formally submit the initiative to the European Commission for examination, which will have six months to state whether or not it intends to take action and present a legislative proposal to the European Parliament. If necessary, the text will still have to go through the process of adoption into EU law.
