Net-A-Porter, Mr Porter to open first standalone, public-facing pop-up in the Hamptons
Retailers and brands are increasingly choosing to go where their customers are at any given time and in the summer that often means resort, beach and hotel takeovers by individual brands in high-end locations. Retailers and e-tailers often opt for pop-ups and that's what Net-A-Porter and Mr porter have done.
Running from July 16-20, it's their first standalone, public-facing pop-up in the Hamptons — its past pop-ups there have been in a private format.
'Celebrating enduring style and the effortless elegance of Hamptons living', the 'Summer in the Hamptons' pop-up presents a curated edit of seasonal collection launches, exclusives, and 'must-haves' from the womenswear and menswear luxury online retailers.
Categories covered include ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, handbags and fine jewellery with major-name labels being the focus. Womenswear designers will include Alaïa, Chloé, Khaite, Pucci, Johanna Ortiz and more. Meanwhile menswear labels take in big names such as Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Saint Laurent, Celine and Tom Ford, as well emerging designers including Kapital, Piacenza, and Mr Porter's own label, Mr P.
They'll have dedicated space throughout the 5,280 square foot showroom with items available for special order.
The e-tailers said that the shopping experience will feature "exclusive brand activations, special programming, and surprise-and-delight moments'.
That includes skincare treatments by Dr Barbara Sturm, a "transformative sound bath" with La DoubleJ founder JJ Martin, custom jewellery creations with Jia-Jia Zhu, and an exhibition celebrating Jessica McCormack's 'Fruit Salad' collection. The first day will also see 15% of its proceeds benefitting benefiting Glam4Good, supporting those facing clothing and personal-care insecurity in the US.

Deutsche Bank posts bumper profits, shares soar
From April to June, net profit attributable to the group's shareholders came in at 1.48 billion euros ($1.74 billion), driven by its investment banking and asset management units. Analysts surveyed by financial data firm FactSet had expected a figure of 1.34 billion euros. In the same quarter last year, Deutsche Bank had booked its first quarterly loss since 2020 due to litigation costs linked to the troubled takeover of a smaller lender. Thursday's result "puts us on track to meet our 2025 targets", said CEO Christian Sewing. The group is aiming to substantially cut costs this year, and said its results so far showed it was achieving this. The bank's shares jumped around six percent in early trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Revenues rose to 7.8 billion euros in the second quarter, with increases of three percent at its investment banking unit and nine percent at its asset management division. The retail banking division saw revenues increase by two percent. The unit is undergoing a restructuring and Sewing announced in March that 2,000 jobs would be cut at the division. Corporate banking revenues were down by one percent, affected by exchange rate fluctuations. The euro has risen strongly this year against the dollar, impacting Deutsche Bank as it converts money earned in the US unit back into euros. Deutsche Bank has undergone major restructuring in recent years, seeking to rely more on retail and corporate banking after an aggressive shift in the early 2000s into investment banking drew it into multiple scandals.

Brazilian singer and feminist activist Preta Gil dies aged 50
Renowned Brazilian singer and presenter Preta Gil has died of cancer at the age of 50. Daughter of singer and former Brazilian culture minister Gilberto Gil and actress Sandra Gadelha, she had been fighting colorectal cancer since the beginning of 2023. Equally celebrated for her musical talents and campaigning for women's rights and the LGBTQ+ communities, she died in New York on Sunday, according to her spokeswoman, where she was undergoing treatment. A post shared by Preta Gil (@pretagil) Art and activism She released her first album in 2003, 'Prêt-à-porter', when her father was culture minister during Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's first presidency. "This disc shows my roots, both the tropicalist side of MPB and my open, democratic and connected side," she wrote in her autobiography "Preta Gil: Os primeiros 50" (Preta Gil: The First 50), published in 2024. She also produced three more albums, 'Preta', from 2005, 'Sou Como Sou', from 2012, and 'Todas as Cores', from 2017, with collaborations with Gal Costa, Pabllo Vittar and Marília Mendonça. She released two live albums based on the shows 'Noite Preta', in 2010, and 'Bloco da Preta', in 2014. As an actress, she appeared in soap operas and various Globo projects and created a talk show in 2004. From the 2000s onwards, despite facing criticism for posing naked on the cover of her first album and for being open about her bisexuality, she championed feminist and anti-racist positions. She is survived by a 28-year-old son, Francisco, a member of the Gilsons, and a seven-year-old granddaughter.

US tariffs help push Jeep owner Stellantis into big loss
The 2.3-billion-euro ($2.7-billion) net loss in the first half of the year came as sales in North America continued to slump, down 25 percent by volume in the second quarter year-on-year. The carmaker, whose stable of brands also includes Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat, said first-half net revenues dropped 12.6 percent to 74.3 billion euros, according to the preliminary and unaudited results. Sales of vehicles fell by six percent in the second quarter year-on-year, after having dropped nine percent in the first three months of 2025. Stellantis said "the early effects of US tariffs" had a 300-million-euro negative impact and disrupted its plans to boost its struggling performance in North America. Automakers have struggled to respond to US President Donald Trump's new US tariff of 25 percent on imported cars that are not largely made within North America. The company, which also owns the Chrysler, Dodge and Ram Truck brands, paused production at some plants in Canada and Mexico in April as the tariffs went into force. Stellantis said the sharp drop in North American sales volume was "due to factors including the reduced manufacture and shipments of imported vehicles, most impacted by tariffs," as well as lower sales for corporate fleets. Restructuring charge Stellantis also took a 3.3-billion-euro charge, which it said was "primarily related to programme cancellation costs and platform impairments, net impact of the recent legislation eliminating the CAFE penalty rate and restructuring". Trump's massive tax and spending legislation, approved earlier this month, removed the penalties for not respecting the so-called CAFE fuel economy targets, meaning automakers can produce and sell more higher polluting cars in the United States. The company said it was in the early stage of taking action to improve performance and profitability, with new products expected to deliver a larger impact in the second half of 2025. Stellantis suspended its financial guidance in April due to the heightened uncertainty generated by US tariffs. Analysts at finance group ODDO BHF said a drop in sales was widely expected and noted that new chief executives often clean house by passing new provisions or restructuring charges. Company veteran Antonio Filosa took over as chief executive in June and immediately launched a management shake-up. Filosa headed up the North American region that accounts for most company profits and whose struggles last year precipitated the sacking of Carlos Tavares, and has retained responsibility for the region. While the overall six-percent drop in sales volumes was in line with analyst expectations, according to ODDO BHF, the 25-percent drop was double the 12 percent foreseen by analysts. Shares in Stellantis fell 2.1 percent in morning trading on the Paris stock exchange, which was 0.4 percent lower overall. Stellantis said it would release audited first half results on July 29 as scheduled. © 2025 AFP
