MILAN (AP) — Giorgio Armani will not be present to take his bows after the Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani runway shows at the upcoming Milan Fashion Week, his fashion house announced on Friday.

Armani, 90, is marking 50 years of his eponymous fashion house this year. He turns 91 on July 11.
'Although he cannot be there in person, he will closely follow every phase of the shows,″ the statement said. His longtime collaborator and head of menswear design, Leo Dell'Orco, will give the closing bows, it added.

Uma Wang Men's Spring 2026: Big on Bhutan
Designer Uma Wang spent eight days in Bhutan last summer and was bowled over by how stylish men looked in their traditional robes, known as a gho, and striped fabrics galore. She also noticed they never carry bags, tucking their phones and other necessities into the folds of their tightly wrapped clothes, or in capacious pockets. In addition, they mix traditional garb with T-shirts and sneakers and she found that 'more than interesting.' More from WWD Paul Smith Is Feeling Hot Hot Hot Umit Benan Unveils First Boutique in Milan, a Members' Club for the Quality Obsessed Luca Magliano Takes His Cinematic Eye to the Screen for Spring 2026 With CineMagliano She translated all of this into her soothing spring men's collection, employing thick linens with the rumpled texture of burlap for suits, flowing rayon for loose pants and tegos — the loose jackets worn under a gho — and wax-coated drill for utility vests with enough pockets for a mountaineer to pack at least half a dozen sandwiches. Shanghai-based Wang has been quietly making menswear for a decade, selling it to about 80 wholesale clients and building it up to about a fifth of her business. She decided to host a presentation for the first time, inviting retailers and editors to her year-old Milan store with its rugged hardwood floors and industrial shelving. Imperfections are her thing, like a loose rayon fabric upon which she stitched strips of linen. 'The fabrics don't like each other, it seems like a mistake,' she said as a way to explain the rumpled appearance of the stripes, which pleased her to no end. She develops all of her fabrics in Italy, including a gray pinstripe realized with brown yarn that blobbed here and there, reminding you of when the Grinch was stitching his Santa suit and the tail of his dog Max entered the sewing machine by mistake. Wang also tried her hand at a gho, developing a lustrous jacquard based on a tiny swatch of fabric discovered at a museum, and at thin-soled sneakers, which could bring zing to many summer outfits.

This country has the best wines in the world for 2025
How's your tuxedo looking? Our travel news roundup this week is an award show spectacular. Read on to find out the winners of the world's most liveable city, the best airline for 2025, the world's best restaurant and the country with the finest wines. Knives out, everybody, it's foodie award season and only the very best will get their just deserts. First, an aperitif before dinner. The winners of the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025 were revealed Wednesday and one country triumphed as the grape GOAT. France took home 3,200 medals in total (1,000 more than its closest competitor) and 14 Best in Shows, which is surely worth celebrating with a glass of Champagne. (The famous sparkling wine won 27 honors alone.) Italy won 2,204 awards and six Best in Shows, improving its position with 31 more top-tier honors than in 2024. Spain fortuitously won 2,025 medals in 2025, including five Best in Shows. International wine-lovers should consider a trip to the Rioja region: Not only did it win three platinum medals and 21 gold, it's the least visited area of Spain. It's a great way to avoid the high-season crowds in Andalusia and Catalonia. The rest of the top 10 medal-winning countries were (in descending order): Australia, Portugal, South Africa, Argentina, Croatia, Canada and Chile. Canadian wine, you say? Yes, their ice wine can go for up to $250,000 a bottle. Prev Next The pisco sours will be flowing in Lima this weekend as the Peruvian capital celebrates two of its restaurants being named among the world's top 10 on Thursday. Maido, owned and run by chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, was crowned the best on the planet on the 2025 list of the 'World's 50 Best Restaurants.' It serves Japanese-Peruvian fusion food known as Nikkei cuisine. US restaurants were honored Monday night at the 2025 James Beard Awards, with a Boulder eatery being named Outstanding Restaurant and a Minneapolis spot making waves as Best New Restaurant. To round things off, June 21 is World Martini Day (let's hope you've recovered by now from National Martini Day on June 19). Espresso martinis — vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur and sugar — aren't technically true martinis, but they are, however, a lip-smacking delight. Our partners at CNN Underscored, a product reviews and recommendations guide owned by CNN, have this guide to everything you need to make espresso martinis at home, according to top bartenders. The upcoming nuptials of billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez are proving to be the final straw for many Venetians who are tired of their city being a tourist playground. Protesters against the wedding this month have threatened that they'll 'block the canals,' but others in the city welcome the 'cash influx' that the event will bring. Rising waters and overtourism are killing Venice, critics say, a city where the 30 million tourists annually dwarf the local population of fewer than 50,000. 'There's not going to be another Venice,' said one local businessman. 'Once you have helped change this place forever, it's not coming back.' There were anti-tourism protests across southern Europe last weekend, with Barcelona being the epicenter of the unrest, where water pistols are the weapon of choice for spraying unwelcome visitors. Cities are being 'turned into theme parks,' complained a Spanish government minister last month, addressing the housing deficit exacerbated by the rise of Airbnb and vacation rentals. Time to book that Rioja trip instead. Northern border-hugging US states such as Vermont and New York have long enjoyed an annual surge of Canadian tourists, but travel has dipped amid international tensions. Now US businesses are trying to woo their northern neighbors with 'Canadians only' deals, with perks ranging from cheaper stays to free activities. 'We wanted to make a meaningful gesture that says, 'We see you, we value you and we want you here,'' said one Vermonter. With many Canadians boycotting the States, some American travelers are worried about the reception they might face in the land of the maple leaf. Canadian tourism boards have launched campaigns to reassure Americans of a warm welcome, but how do everyday Canadians feel? CNN Travel investigated. North America is by no means the only place where escalating disputes are harming international travel. The air map of the world is currently filling up with no-fly zones and airlines are scrambling to reroute amid increasing global conflict. Nonstop flights between Hong Kong and London are now two hours longer, for example, and short-haul flights between Central Asia and the Persian Gulf are particularly affected. Three-year-old Australian girl Kinga might not speak Japanese, but she's loving her time in southern Japan's Wakayama Prefecture. Her family joined a preschool exchange that's giving them a kid-first window into Japanese culture. A viral video has prompted a mass cleanup of caves near China's famed 'Avatar' mountains. The astounding footage shows a decade of garbage buildup. An 80-year-old man drove down Rome's Spanish Steps and got stuck. He told police he'd taken a wrong turn. And there are more international awards that people have been going crazy for. The world's best airline for 2025 was named by Skytrax. Lastly, a European capital stole Vienna's crown as the world's most liveable city for 2025.

Searching for Leonardo da Vinci's Gay Florence
Florence's present-day gay sites are not faring much better. Today, actual gay bars are rare in the city, but this wasn't always the case. 'Florence in the 1970s and '80s had nightclubbing that went down in national annals,' Elena Guerra of Viandando Luxury Travel, who specializes in 'non-conventional' tours of Italy, told me. 'The two most legendary clubs in Europe at the time were Taboo in London, and the Tabasco right here in Florence.' Guerra and I met on a December evening in Florence, at a table outside Café Volume in Santo Spirito, where she ordered us both an americano. 'It's the Florentine version of a negroni,' she explained; it has Campari and sweet vermouth, but club soda replaces the gin. When I asked what happened to the Tabasco, Guerra said, 'It's been closed for years. And it wasn't the only one to close.' She punctuated her long sigh with a drag of her cigarette, then said, 'The queer scene here in Florence has less momentum than it used to.' Calanca shared similar sentiments: 'Fabrik, between Florence and Prato, is the only real gay club left in all of Tuscany.' According to both Calanca and Guerra, overtourism in Florence is part of the reason: The city now welcomes over 13 million tourists a year, a number that overwhelms the local population of just under 400,000 and continues to increase. Yet queer nightclubs and bars have continued to shutter. In addition to the closure of the Tabasco, roving parties like Flog have also stopped operating in recent years. Even more traditional queer events like an annual Pride are not a fixture in the city, despite its significant queer history. (Florence does participate in a Tuscany-wide Pride; this year's is in Prato, in late June.) When I asked Guerra if there were any queer events still held in the city, she said the Florence Queer Film Festival, now in its 23rd year, is perhaps one of the city's last annual LGBTQ+ events. These days, she admitted, 'Rome and Milan are much more active than Florence.'
