Louis Vuitton Resort 2026 Menswear Collection
From Met Gala to pet gala: dog lover Pharrell Williams retreated to the countryside for this year's canine-inflected Louis Vuitton menswear resort collection. Although the offer wasn't quite as dense with dog accessories as 2025's equivalent, there were dog graphics; bags shaped after a pointer, a fox, and a beagle; a trunk/dog bed hybrid; more dog collars; doggy-do bag holders; a brass-doored Speedy pet trunk; dog bowls; a quilted leather dog jacket; and a spiffy cap with built-in earholes.
While Williams was not on hand to walk through the collection, its footprints nodded to some classic tropes of Anglomania via many dandyish diversions specific to his design direction. His nods to le style anglais included a Prince of Wales check tweed puffer, microcheck tailoring in the house's serendipitously tweedy hues of brown cut in denim or wool and patterned with widely spaced monogram logotypes, a tailored top coat in herringbone, commuter-friendly quilted jackets, and a check collarless jacket. Jackets that distorted the gridded geometry of the house pattern with raindrop circles were true reflections of the LV team's inspirational source territory. There was a riff on the cricket sweater. Foxes and crowns decorated a woven print jacket.
Beyond that Williams presented a broad palette of materially elevated casual pieces. Parkas, chore jackets, windbreakers, varsity jackets, and bombers were all humble templates delivered in rich materials, the highlight of which was a cropped fitted trucker-like jacket in olive-dyed shearling. His denim and tailoring was cut in the house boot-cut, the better to accommodate handsome lug-soled boots. Top-to-toe workwear outfits were made in what looked like felted suede peppered with more monogram pattern. This was an appealing and leisurely stroll across the expanding landscape of Williams's menswear design.

Jubilee Year 2025: 3 Essential Experiences To Have In Rome
With more than 30 million people expected to visit Rome this Jubilee year–a period of reflection and pilgrimage held every quarter century, and one of the Catholic Church's major global events–the Eternal City will be bursting at the seams with tourists from the world over. To make the most of your time in this endlessly dynamic metropolis in the months ahead, the best strategy is to seek out lesser-known experiences that offer singular ways to tap into its complex and captivating soul, and into the beating heart of Italy–arguably the world's aesthetic, artistic, and culinary capital–itself. Following are three very different ways to do just that. For an unrivaled immersion in the highest echelon of the coveted 'Made in Italy' designation, Aleksandra Badura, founder and creative director of BADURA by Aleksandra Badura–a stunning collection of bespoke, entirely handcrafted luxury handbags and accessories–has just launched a uniquely interactive alta pelletteria ('high leather') workshop experience. BADURA founder and creative director, Aleksandra Badura, is inviting visitors to a new hands-on, immersive luxury leather workshop in her by-appointment-only atelier in Rome (pictured) and her showroom in Milan. The designer's exalted 'quiet luxury' aesthetic has made BADURA's exquisite designs a favorite of Italy's most discerning fashion cognoscenti since she founded the brand in 2013. Now, Badura is inviting visitors to her by-appointment-only atelier–tucked away in an elegant villa in the heart of the Eternal City–to embark on a hands-on journey that offers a tactile deep dive into the peerless materials and artisanal talent required to meticulously create fully customized, top-quality leather goods that embody the enduring value of Italian craftsmanship. The exclusive experience is also available at the BADURA showroom in Milan, located in a historic building steps from the storied Piazza del Duomo. Unlike traditional factory or showroom tours, the workshop offers guests the opportunity to handle the top-quality leathers and exotic skins used to create BADURA's handmade pieces, and to use their sense of touch to differentiate between them. By touching and handling a wide array of luxurious leathers, you'll learn how to recognize genuine leather, and to use its various grains and textures to differentiate between calfskin, goatskin, and deerskin, as well as exotic, sought-after skins like alligator, eel, ostrich, and python. You'll also explore the origins of BADURA's signature bag, the Ladylike–an iconic piece handcrafted of more than 60 elements–and compare it to a simple machine-made bag, comprised of just six components. The Ladylike, BADURA's iconic signature handbag, is artfully handcrafted of more than 60 elements, compared to the average six elements of a machine-made bag. With the help of Badura and one of the brand's master artisans from its in-house lab in Rome–whose unmatched expertise in alta pelletteria spans some 40 years–you'll partake in the painstaking process of selecting the top-quality leathers and determining their exact placement on the Ladylike, then arrange the patterns for each of its elements on the skins before you. The master artisan will also assemble an element from the BADURA high leather goods collection, deftly using his hands as tools honed through decades of proficiency and techniques steeped in centuries-old traditions. Aleksandra Badura is joined by a BADURA master artisan during the immersive workshop. In Italy, it's often said that using one's hands to create is the single best way to diffuse negative energy and restore emotional balance–a truth that inspired Badura to launch the workshop. With that idea in mind, you can put your own creativity to work by designing a bespoke leather accessory to your own specifications, selecting the five necessary elements from a precut range of exquisite leathers in a dazzling rainbow of hues. You'll sift through them, using your fingers to assess their unparalleled grade and suppleness as you match each of the five pieces to its corresponding pattern, and choose a color combination that speaks to you. The master artisan will then help you assemble your creation, beautifully bringing your one-of-a-kind design to life. The experience ranges from 1.5-3 hours (depending on which version you choose), and costs €350-€450 ($395-$510) + VAT per person, with a maximum of four people. Larger groups can be accommodated with advance notice. Champagne, soft drinks, and snacks are included, along with a gift from the BADURA by Aleksandra Badura collection, valued at €200 ($225). For questions and to book, contact BADURA by Aleksandra Badura. Founded by Isabella Colidonna–an art historian (PhD), archaeologist, certified tour guide, and personal trainer–in 2016, ArcheoRunning ingeniously blends running and walking with inspired guided tours of the most evocative corners of the Eternal City. Led by licensed tour guides, ArcheoRunning's tours offer an engaging and active way to see the myriad sites of the Eternal City. Itineraries kick off bright and early at 7a.m. to avoid the masses this Jubilee year. They range from the 'Hidden Rome' running tour–where you'll visit curiosities like the city's narrowest alley, Vicole di San Trifone, which measures just over 47 inches wide–to a new 'Stargazing' power walking tour, which stops at churches including Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, renowned for its celestial blue, gold-starred ceiling and its unusual (for Rome) Neo-Gothic interior. There's also a recently unveiled 'Maddonelle of Rome' tour–dedicated to the hundreds of small votive shrines depicting the Madonna and Child adorning the city's ancient walls, mostly on street corners–and even an 'Emily in Rome' tour, an homage to the places the Emily in Paris star visited when she relocated to the Eternal City in the hit series' fourth season. ArcheoRunning–which partners with standout hotels like J.K. Place and Hotel Vilòn–also offers an array of more leisurely walking tours whose timing can be tailored to guests' requests, as well as fully customizable private options. Running and power walking tours average one hour and two hours, respectively, with brief stops at sites along the way. The price per tour starts at €50 ($57) per person, depending on the number of people per group. For more information and to book, visit the website. The Roscioli family has long enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as one of Rome's reigning culinary dynasties. The iconic bakery that started it all–Antico Forno Roscioli, which opened on Via dei Chiavari in 1972–was first established in 1824 by a papal edict mandating that it would sell bread at reasonable prices to those of limited means. Rimessa Roscioli offers a wide array of programming focused on the best food and wine that Italy has to offer. Over the last five decades, the fourth-generation business–synonymous with top-quality cuisine, wine, and hospitality–has steadily expanded to encompass an array of in-demand eateries in Rome, along with a buzzy restaurant that debuted in New York in 2023. Rimessa Roscioli–perhaps best described as part restaurant, part wine bar, part cooking school, and all-around social hub–ranks high on the list of the brand's most convivial Roman outposts, offering something for everyone. To try your hand at the city's venerated cuisine, opt for the cooking class held daily at 12p.m.–where you'll prepare an appetizer with buffalo mozzarella, handmade pasta, Roman meatballs, and tiramisu, then dig in to your feast during a guided wine tasting with each dish. Groups of 8-12 people can book Rimessa Roscioli's atmospheric wine cellar for private tasting dinners. For serious wine enthusiasts and gourmands, the Taste the Legends evening casts a potent spell: the three-hour oenophilic adventure pairs 12 top-shelf Italian wines (like Barbaresco, Barolo, and Etna Rosso) from the country's most acclaimed wine regions with a scrumptious dinner teeming with Italian cheeses and cured meats, cacio e pepe pasta, and buffalo ricotta and peaches, among other delicacies. If you're flying solo, you can join the Wine & Food Tasting Dinner at 5pm or 8pm and make new friends; if you're with an 8-12 person group, you can inquire about booking the same dinner in the Rimessa's private wine cellar.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Daughter Shiloh Choreographs Steamy Dance Performance Under the Name Shi at Hollywood Dinner for French Designer Isabel Marant
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Jolie made an unexpected appearance at a dinner Thursday night in Los Angeles that celebrated the launch of French designer Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter. But Shiloh wasn't simply a guest at the fashionable soiree. Using the name Shi, she choreographed a sometimes steamy number by dancers Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuki that accompanied singer-songwriter Luella's performance of her recently released single 'Naïve.' More from Variety Mia Threapleton on Her Months-Long Audition Process for 'The Phoenician Scheme' and Joining the Wes Anderson Universe: 'He Leads With Love' From the Oscars Red Carpet to Open Heart Surgery: What Variety's Marc Malkin Wants You to Know About His Life-Saving Journey 'The Pitt' Star Supriya Ganesh on Wanting to See More of Samira's Personal Life in Season 2 and Using She/They Pronouns: 'Hey, I'm Queer. See Me' The dinner took place in the backyard of the Oliver House, a private residence designed by R.M. Schindler in the 1930s that overlooks the Silver Lake reservoir. Shiloh made a brief appearance at the cocktail hour before retreating into the home to hang with her dancers. 'It's always a blessing for me to be here in Los Angeles, which I love,' Marant said. 'It's a city that's really inspiring to me and resembles me.' She added that she feels 'at home' in L.A. because of 'all the cool girls with the Isabel Marant vibe.' She then laughed, 'We're hungry,' before servers began streaming into the soiree with plates of cucumber salad followed by Pacific striped bass and coal-roasted beef loin entrees. Dessert featured pieces of tiramisu cut from a cake that was so enormous it needed to be carried out of the kitchen by two people. Guests included former 'Mad Men' co-stars Allison Brie and January Jones, Rachel Bilson, Lily Rabe, Stephanie Suganami, Madeline Brewer and models Dree Hemingway, Ever Anderson, Hilary Rhoda and Salem Mitchell. Milla Jovovich – who served as a co-host – attended with her look-a-like model daughter Anderson. The dinner also marked the first Net-A-Porter event for its new CEO Heather Kaminetsky, who joined the company just five weeks ago. 'Tonight, we're celebrating an incredible collaboration, but really what we're celebrating is a true creative force – Isabel Marant,' Kaminetsky said. 'Isabel is the queen of Parisian style and a favorite among the Net-A-Porter customers. This collaboration and collection that she put together for us is timeless and easy to take for travel from the city streets top the beach and back again and everything in between. At Net-A-Porter we really try to creative memorable fashion moment just for the girl who's confident and loves fashion and just likes to have a good time.'

Selima Optique And Zankov Launch Capsule Sunglass Collaboration
The Aleksandr style in black and cream. Ph Credits: Courtesy of Selima/Zankov. According to social media (and many Gen X and Boomers who live here), there is a yearning for the glory days of old New York. In the bygone era, many attributes were the sort of magical connections that took place in IRL and were not masterminded in boardrooms or via digital platforms. Instead, these kismet moments happened when creative worlds collided while out and about, most likely in New York's social scene. A meeting such as this was the genesis for a new eyewear collaboration between Selima Optique and ZANKOV. That's how the collaboration between these two creatives happened. It was while both were dining at the classic eatery Il Buco, a NoHo staple since 1994 and just down the street from Selima Optique, which opened in 1993. The eyewear institution Selima Salaun is also a bit of a NoHo fixture, and spotted Henry Zankov dining in the restaurant. Curious by nature, the optical entrepreneur approached the fashion designer she had seen around town and introduced herself. It turned out that Zankov was also a fan of Selima's work. The bond over the mutual love of fashion was instant. Several chance meetings followed; thus, the pair was certain it was fate that they collaborate creatively. The result is a three-style limited-edition capsule sunglass collection that 'celebrates the intersection of bold design and effortless elegance, an embodiment of the spirit shared by both,' according to a release. The styles debuted with the Spring 2025 ZANKOV collection and hit retail distribution this week. The Toni sunglasses in Capri blue. Ph Credits: Courtesy of Selima/Zankov. From a starting point of styles core to Selima Optique's oeuvre—the Aleksandr, a bold square acetate frame with dynamic color contrasts between the face and arms; the Toni, an aviator style with a lightweight metal frame, inspired by the eyewear worn by Italian police in the 1970s and the Carolyn, a minimalist classic inspired by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy—Zankov applied his strong color combos in bright hues to the frames. This is especially prominent in the Aleksandr and Carolyn styles, which demonstrate Zankov's bold color aesthetic. Nary, a pair of black frames is found in this collection. Instead, frames in hues such as red and lavender, navy, royal blue and Electric yellow, Carrot orange, and Capri Blue prevail. The sunglasses are available at Bergdorf Goodman and Selima Optique. The duo hosted a party at Selima Optique at 7 Bond Street to fete the new partnership.
