Italian label Calzedonia partners again with Laetitia Casta for the 2025 swimwear campaign
After a successful collaboration in 2023, Italian fashion label Calzedonia has once again partnered with Laetitia Casta to front its 2025 swimwear campaign. The 46-year-old French actress and model reprises her role as the face of the brand's latest summer line, reinforcing Calzedonia's focus on timeless elegance and Mediterranean style.
Known internationally for its hosiery, socks, leggings, and swimwear, Calzedonia designed a dedicated capsule collection for this year's relaunch. To mark the renewed collaboration—coinciding with Casta's appearance in Balmain's Spring/Summer 2025 campaign —the brand unveiled a mini-line of one-piece swimsuits tailored to the French market.
The collection highlights refined details such as ruching and jewelry-inspired embellishments. It is available in a palette that includes blue, burgundy, glitter, and more. Released in mid-April, the capsule is available online and in Calzedonia's nearly 230 retail locations throughout France.
Calzedonia is part of Oniverse, an Italian fashion group that also owns the brands Intimissimi, Tezenis, and Falconeri. In 2024, Oniverse reported a 13.5% rise in global sales compared to the previous year, surpassing €3.5 billion in revenue.

French word of the day: Cadeau empoisonné
Why do I need to know cadeau empoisonné ? Because this expression will help you illustrate your evil side. What does it mean ? The expression is composed of cadeau , which means 'gift', and empoisonné , meaning 'poisoned'. So a cadeau empoisonné is literally a poisoned gift. Obviously, it is not exactly nice. It is a figurative way of saying that you are getting rid of something annoying, boring or difficult by passing it on somebody else - the English would be to hand someone a poisoned chalice. Advertisement But here is the subtlety of cadeau empoisonné - you present the situation as if you were doing a favour to the person, to hide your real intentions. The person to whom you've given the cadeau empoisonné will first be thankful for the responsibility you've entrusted them with, until they realise why you did that. But it will be too late. For example, when French Health minister Agnès Buzyn left her post at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis (because she has to take over from a Paris mayoral candidate with a certain online video ) her replacement Olivier Véran received a big promotion - and an enormous challenge to deal with. He got a real cadeau empoisonné . Through history and mythology there are numerous examples of 'poisoned gifts' - from the Trojan horse to Snow White's apple - but the most famous French story of this is almost certainly untrue. The legend goes that the Medieval French queen Catherine de Medici gave her daughter's future mother-in-law Jeanne Albret, the Huguenot Queen of Navarre, a gift of perfumed leather gloves which were laced with poison, killing the protestant queen. In fact, Jeanne had tuberculosis, which is almost certainly what killed her, and the poisoned glove story was part of a smear campaign against Catherine, who was nicknamed la reine serpent (the serpent queen) by her political enemies. Use it like this Confier toute l'organisation au stagiaire la veille de la réunion était un cadeau empoisonné - Putting all of the organisation in the intern's hands the day before the meeting was a poisoned chalice. J'ai hérité de la maison de ma tante mais il faut faire beaucoup de travaux, c'est un vrai cadeau empoisonné - I inherited of my aunt's house but there is a lot of construction work to do, it's more of a curse than a blessing. Synonyms Refiler la patate chaude à quelqu'un - To pass the hot potato on to someone Refiler le bébé à quelqu'un - to pass the buck to someone

Italy opens menswear show season with Pitti Uomo, Milan Fashion Week
This season's edition of Milan Fashion Week Men will be rather low-key, clearly feeling the impact of the global geo-political and economic crisis. It will feature 81 events, including 44 presentations, 17 special events and 15 runway shows, plus five digital shows that will be streamed on the week's final morning, on Tuesday, June 24. Only three among Italian fashion's leading names will feature on the Milanese calendar this season: Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani and Prada, while Zegna will be showing in Dubai, and many other labels have opted to present their menswear collections with womenswear at the September fashion week. Some emerging labels that have made their mark on the Milanese fashion landscape in recent years will also give this edition a miss, like Magliano, which is replacing its habitual show with a movie screening, JordanLuca, and Indian designer Dhruv Kapoor. Milan will however rely on four 'new' names to freshen up the calendar, starting with British label Paul Smith, which is quitting Paris this season to show at its Milanese showroom on June 21. The other new entries on Milan's menswear programme are Setchu by Japanese designer Satoshi Kuwata, winner of the 2023 LVMH Prize, which will kick off proceedings on Friday, June 20; long-standing Italian label Fiorucci, in the midst of a major relaunch; and Qasimi, the menswear label by Hoor Al Qasimi, originally from the UAE. Two comebacks worth mentioning are those of Vivienne Westwood, which will stage a presentation, and Spanish designers Miguel Vieira and David Catalán, showing on Monday, June 23. The same day will end with the first runway show by French designer Emma Rowen Rose with her baroque-chic, made-in-Italy label Rowen Rose, which is set to launch a menswear line on this occasion. Before passing the baton to Paris, Milan Fashion Week will be enlivened by a few big parties, including those celebrating Dsquared2's 30th anniversary and Jacob Cohen's 40th.

Two UK men jailed for 'brazen' gold toilet heist
James Sheen, 40, and Michael Jones, 39, were jailed at Oxford Crown Court in central England for four years and 27 months respectively. The sentences came as it was revealed that Sheen is already serving 19 years in jail for a string of other offences including a museum burglary and attacks on cash machines. The fully functioning 18-carat artwork was stolen in a raid on an exhibition at Blenheim Palace -- the birthplace of Winston Churchill -- near central Oxford in September 2019. The toilet artwork dubbed "America" was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and had been on display as one of the star attractions at an exhibition in the 18th-century home. Passing sentence, Judge Ian Pringle said: "This bold and brazen heist took no more than five-and-a-half minutes to complete. "America has never been seen again." Weighing around 98 kilograms (216 pounds), the artwork was insured for $6 million and was made with 20 kilograms of gold valued at around £2.8 million. It was stolen just hours after a glamorous exhibition launch party by the sledgehammer-wielding thieves. Prosecutors said the work was likely broken up or melted down and sold soon after the theft. The gold has not been recovered. It is believed that Sheen took the 20 kilos of gold to the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter on September 2019 and sold it for £26,000 a kilogram -- earning £520,000. Jurors heard earlier that Sheen first got in touch with a third man, Frederick Doe, two days after the raid to ask if he could help him sell some of the gold. Doe replied to Sheen in a WhatsApp message: "I do know just the man you need to see." The 37-year-old, described by a judge as a "foolish" middleman, escaped jail for his role in the heist. He was handed a suspended sentenced last month after being found guilty of conspiracy to transfer criminal property. Jones previously said he used the toilet at Blenheim Palace the day before it was taken. Asked what it was like, he told the court it was "splendid". Sheen admitted burglary and money laundering offences. Judge Pringle said his four-year jail term would be added to the 19 years he is already serving. Jones was found guilty of burglary after an earlier trial.
