For Fall 2025, Tibi's Creative Pragmatist Took a Trip to Antwerp
In July, Tibi's founder and creative director Amy Smilovic and Traci Bui-Amar, senior vice president of design, took a trip to Antwerp, Belgium. Looking for inspiration, they were instantly taken by the city's fluid merging of heritage and modernity across architecture, interiors and locals' personal style.
'That's what we really tried to do with the clothing — lean into more luxury fabrics than ever before and into modern sculpture, but wherever we lean modern that we're completely meshing it with something that is just very classic and heritage at the same time,' Smilovic said the experimental twists demonstrated during a presentation in their SoHo space.

'This was our space that we bought in 2008, and we just got it back. We're turning it into the most amazing living room to meet with our clients in the future,' Smilovic said of the location, where they invited guests to get a behind-the-scenes look at their fall collection campaign and video in lieu of having a runway show. (Since the pandemic, the brand solely puts on runway shows for spring.)
Here, the collection was hanging in a custom Antwerp apartment-style vignette, and against a backdrop featuring funky door knockers. Models were clad in such modern-meets-heritage garb as an ultra lightweight skirt suit crafted in a papery fabric that looked like traditional wool, or a standout neoprene cinched and tailored jacket with leather collar paired with leggy jeans that could be zipped off into Bermuda shorts.
Each season, Smilovic is all about evolving her solutions-based philosophy. Fall continued that idea from the top down with a few nods to vintage moto style seen during their travels, and plenty of ease. For instance, elongated bomber jackets belted at the hem; utility-meets-jodhpur jeans featuring circular godets on the legs paired with a plaid shirt; boots with hidden internal wedges and wider leg shafts, as to emulate the shape of a dress under a pant; dresses that could be snapped up, or down and into a train; outerwear with internal backpack straps, and belts designed with motorcycle loops to hold the season's leather mittens. They, of course, featured flaps that enable the wearer to still use their phone — pragmatic head to toe.

🔥 Hojlund to Inter, Inzaghi eyes move 👀 Frattesi to Roma 🤑
Just a few days before the start of the Club World Cup, the transfer market is taking center stage and giving us the first moves of a summer that promises to be very hot. The coaching carousel has filled the post-championship days so far, but player negotiations are not lacking. Here are the most important market news of the day. Juventus, attempt for Inzaghi Simone Inzaghi's future remains a mystery. The Inter coach, whose contract expires in 2026, after the heavy defeat in the Champions League final, has fueled uncertainty with a "I don't know if I'll be in America" that leaves many doubts. Will he continue with Inter or will it be goodbye? Tomorrow, the former Lazio coach will meet with the Nerazzurri management to understand what the future will be, but the presence of Al-Hilal in the background is looming. Advertisement The Saudi option is trying to convince Inzaghi, but it's not the only club to have made a move. Juventus made an inquiry a few weeks ago, however, at the moment, a possible transfer to the Bianconeri seems really unlikely. In addition to the Inter coach, the Old Lady has set her sights on Marco Silva and Bruno Genesio, but beware of Tudor: his goodbye after the Club World Cup is no longer so taken for granted. Milan, Maignan is a priority for Allegri The new Rossoneri chapter of Massimiliano Allegri has not yet begun in practice, but the coach from Livorno already has clear ideas about the future of his Milan. As reported by Corriere dello Sport, one of the priorities of the coach is the renewal of Mike Maignan, considered a key element in the locker room. Already last December, the parties had found a general agreement for a new contract worth 5 million euros plus bonuses. However, the elimination from the Champions League and some performances below expectations have slowed down the negotiations. Now, however, the club is ready to reopen the dialogue. Inter, Hojlund target for the attack After defining the arrivals of Petar Sucic and Luis Henrique - today in Milan -, Inter is ready to close other market deals. According to what was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, in fact, the Nerazzurri management would have made a budget of around 40 million euros available to further strengthen the squad for the next season. Advertisement In attack, a high-level alternative to Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez is being sought, and among the monitored profiles, that of Rasmus Hojlund stands out: the former Atalanta player could leave Manchester United on loan. On the defensive front, should Yann Bisseck leave, the club is evaluating several options. In addition to Sam Beukema of Bologna, the Colombian Jhon Lucumí and Koni De Winter are also liked. Napoli, agreement with Gutierrez Not just De Bruyne, Jonathan David, and the renewal of Meret. Napoli, waiting for developments on the KDB operation, has focused on the left flank: the target is Miguel Gutiérrez, 24, a left-back from Girona. As reported by Il Mattino, there would already be a general agreement between the player and Napoli, and the white smoke could arrive soon. Sports director Giovanni Manna is in fact intensifying contacts with the Spanish club to close the operation as soon as possible. Roma, Frattesi back in yellow and red? The brief argument between Inzaghi and Frattesi at the final whistle of PSG-Inter highlighted a fundamental aspect in view of the summer market: Frattesi is not a central element in Inter, the bench in the Champions League final demonstrated this, and the midfielder is no longer willing to accept it. Advertisement The former Sassuolo player would have a starting position almost anywhere in Serie A, and the clubs ready to give him this guarantee are not lacking. According to what was reported by Roma - already interested in January - would be seriously evaluating the possibility of returning to the assault on the Inter midfielder in view of the summer market session. Lazio, Isaksen liked in Holland After Baroni's goodbye and Sarri's return to the bench, Gustav Isaksen is back at the center of market rumors. Will the Dane stay to convince the former Juve coach or will it be goodbye? His future is still to be written, but the interest from Holland can already give us a hint. According to what was reported by Il Messaggero, Feyenoord would be seriously intent on buying the Danish winger. However, the player's future will be decided by Maurizio Sarri, who will have the final say on any possible sale. Fiorentina, Gila for the post Palladino After the consensual resolution of Raffaele Palladino's contract, Fiorentina is looking for a new coach. According to what was reported by the name in pole position is that of Alberto Gilardino. Advertisement The former Genoa coach would be at the top of the Viola management's wish list. In the last few hours, contacts with his entourage would have intensified, and economic aspects are already being discussed to find an agreement that can satisfy all parties.

Manchester City agree €55m fee to buy Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders
Manchester City's promise of quick summer spending has begun with the agreement of a transfer fee with Milan for the Netherlands international midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. The 26-year-old will cost €55m – around £46m – and has already agreed personal terms for a five-year contract. He will become the first addition of the raft of signings the club chairman, Khaldoon al-Mubarak, pledged before City take part in the Club World Cup. A special transfer window has been opened for Fifa's new competition. Advertisement Related: Men's transfer window summer 2025: all deals from Europe's top five leagues Reijnders, principally an attacking midfielder, was a bright spark in a disappointing season for Milan, scoring 15 goals. With Kevin De Bruyne departed, and a number of other players expected to head for the exit, Jack Grealish probably included, a new-look City, rather different from the deposed champions of 2024-25, is being built at pace. They are also linked with Rayan Aït-Nouri, the Wolves full-back. 'We already started that rebuild of this team in January,' Khaldoon said in a club interview last week. 'We have clearly identified who exactly are the targets, in what positions, and we have our clear No 1 option, our clear No 2 option. Our objective is to try to be ready with the new squad for the Club World Cup.' The January window saw City spend around £180m on Abdukodir Khusanov, Omar Marmoush, Nico González, Vitor Reis, Juma Bah and Christian McFarlane with Claudio Echeverri, signed the previous year, thrown on as a surprise substitute in the FA Cup Final loss to Crystal Palace. Advertisement Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, has made it clear he does not want to work with a bloated squad, despite City's heavy workload in the US and next season, his team having confirmed qualification for the Champions League. He said last month: 'As a manager I cannot train 24 players and every time I select I have to have four, five, six stay in Manchester at home because they cannot play. This is not going to happen. I said to the club. I don't want that.' A move for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, linked heavily with Liverpool, was not firmed up, reportedly on grounds of cost. The transfer window for Premier League clubs is open between 1 June and 10 June and then from 16 June to 1 September.

Inzaghi and Inter: four years of trophies, best moments 🏆
After four years of success, Simone Inzaghi's Inter chapter has come to a close. The now-former Inter coach has decided to leave Milan to embark on a new adventure in Saudi Arabia, at the helm of Al-Hilal, and the legacy he leaves behind is significant. Since his arrival on June 3, 2021, Inzaghi has had a devastating impact on the Inter environment. He has won six trophies at the helm of Inter: extraordinary achievements that place him only behind Herrera and Mancini in the special ranking of the most successful coaches in the club's history. Advertisement It's true, the two lost Champions League finals "blemish" four years of success, but Inzaghi has made Inter history, and this cannot be denied. Here are the best moments the Nerazzurri have experienced with the "Demon" on the bench. 🔝 Two finals and Inter among the Champions League greats Let's start with the Champions League, even if the heavy defeat in Monaco against PSG is still a boulder. The two finals reached in the last three seasons highlight how Inter with Inzaghi has become a top club also at the European level. With Conte, the Nerazzurri returned to winning in Italy, but it was with the former Lazio coach that they took a quality leap. Being competitive everywhere is not for everyone, but Inzaghi made it normal. If Inter is now feared in Europe, it's also thanks to him, and "it doesn't matter" if against City and PSG it didn't go as hoped: finals must also be played, and Inzaghi managed to do so in two seasons out of four. 🏆 6 trophies in the cabinet: Inzaghi among the best Inzaghi, in just four years at the helm of Inter, managed to carve out a place among the greats who have contributed to making the club's history. 1 Serie A, 2 Italian Cups, and 3 Super Cups have given him the third step of the podium among the most successful coaches in Nerazzurro. Advertisement Only the legendary Herrera and Mancini, with seven trophies in the cabinet, have done better than Inzaghi, and this is enough to highlight the devastating impact of the former Lazio coach. Behind Mourinho, although the Treble won by the Special One in 2010 will hardly be surpassed. 👏 Triple of Super Cups: Inzaghi in history He had already shown with Lazio that the Super Cup was bread for his teeth (two triumphs), but at the helm of Inter, he surpassed himself. Three successes in four seasons (2021, 2022, 2023) have made him the most successful coach of all time. Quota 5 reached and two sacred monsters like Lippi and Capello detached. Inzaghi in the Super Cup has proven to be almost infallible: the "almost" is due because only Conceicao's Milan managed to stop the Nerazzurri this year. 6️⃣ consecutive derbies Simone Inzaghi was also the man of the derbies: 6 consecutive victories from the Super Cup in August 2023 to the victory that earned the Scudetto della "star" in April 2024. This is the longest streak of successes in Nerazzurro history against Milan. Advertisement Almost a year of unbeaten city rivalry against Pioli's Milan: a rivalry that has created memes and many unforgettable memories in the minds of Nerazzurri fans. 😈 The creation of the "demon" The nickname "Demon" had been circulating on social media for some time for his way of gesticulating, but it went viral after a match against Juventus in November 2023: a small altercation with Chiesa and Inzaghi remaining fixed looking at him. A video that - in its own way - has entered recent Inter history. The nickname then became public domain, so much so that it was confirmed in a funny way by Inzaghi himself. ⭐️ The second star in the Milan derby Finally, the second star. Inzaghi leaves Inter with only one Scudetto in the cabinet, but it's the most important one. The Demon gave the Nerazzurri the 20th championship in a dream night: beating Milan 1-2 in the Derby della Madonnina and another page of history written. Advertisement Here, perhaps this is the most beautiful moment of Inzaghi's Nerazzurro chapter. The Piacenza coach made possible what before him seemed unachievable and gave instant, unforgettable snapshots. Inter owes a lot to Simone, and Simone owes a lot to Inter. In a few days, there will already be Al-Hilal in his future, but never say never. Maybe it's just a goodbye. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
