LILYSILK Debuts Capsule Collection Made with Liberty Fabrics, Blending British Heritage and Sustainable Silk
Crafted with OEKO-TEX 100 certified silk imported from Italy, each piece pays tribute to timeless artistry while embracing sustainable design. From flowing dresses to silk accessories and pillowcases made from surplus fabric, the line reflects shared values of heritage, beauty, and environmental responsibility.
LILYSILK's collaboration with Liberty Fabrics unites two brands known for elevating everyday elegance through craftsmanship and design. Since 2010, LILYSILK has championed refined living with premium mulberry silk, while Liberty—renowned since 1875—brings its iconic hand-drawn prints from Soho to life at its Italian mill near Lake Como.
"This collection embodies renewal and creativity," said David Wang, CEO of LILYSILK. "Liberty's prints are more than patterns—they're works of art that reflect our commitment to beauty and quality. We invite you to begin this Blossom journey and embrace the spirit of spring with us."
The collection showcases three Liberty Fabrics designs, each rich in story and visual charm. Fairytale Forest, inspired by German folklore, evokes an enchanted woodland with blooming clematis, peonies, and bellflowers set against a deep green canvas. Daffodil Dream captures a soft meadow of daffodils, symbolizing purity and self-love, with a touch of poetic nostalgia. Poppy Parade, reimagined from a 1980s Liberty classic, features romantic crimson brushstrokes layered with sage, moss, and vermilion tones, echoing the warmth of vintage oil paintings.
This 28-piece collection combines beauty with purpose. Fourteen apparel pieces—including dresses, skirts, shirts, and camisoles—offer timeless versatility. Nine accessories, including scarves, scrunchies, and eye masks, are made from surplus silk in support of a zero-waste mission. Two silk pillowcases bring understated luxury into the home. Each piece is designed to elevate everyday style while honoring LILYSILK's core values of elegance and sustainability.

Jimmy Kimmel reveals he may move to Italy to escape Trump
'What's going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It's so much worse; it's just unbelievable' Get the latest from Mark Daniell straight to your inbox Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump. Photo by Getty Images Jimmy Kimmel has revealed he has a backup plan if life in Donald Trump's America becomes too unbearable for him to manage. The late-night host, who frequently targets the U.S. president in his late-night monologues, told Sarah Silverman on a recent episode of her podcast that he might pack his bags and move to Italy. 'A lot of people I know are thinking about, where are they going to get citizenship?' Silverman said, alluding to celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, who have both left the United States. 'I did get Italian citizenship,' Kimmel replied. 'What's going on (under Trump's presidency) is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It's so much worse; it's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.'

Create Account Silverman said that she will Google 'MAGA regrets' just to see how people who voted for Trump feel less than a year into his second presidency. 'It makes me hope that maybe this will bring people together,' she said. After late-night host Stephen Colbert was fired last month, Trump has been ramping up his attacks against Kimmel and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,' Trump wrote on Truth Social after Colbert's show got axed. 'His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! (Fox News late-night host) Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show .' Colbert was one of Trump's most persistent late-night critics and during a recent segment of the program, he criticized the deal between the president and Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris that a lawsuit alleged was deceptively edited . Colbert called the $16-million settlement a 'big fat bribe.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Read More Fallon said he was 'shocked' by the news Colbert's show had been cancelled and called the Emmy winner 'a true friend' in a post shared on Instagram. Meanwhile, Kimmel lashed out at Colbert's network for cancelling his show. 'F— you … CBS,' he wrote on social media. After Colbert warned Trump 'the gloves are off' as he heads into his last season on the air, the commander-in-chief turned his attention to Kimmel and Fallon. 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Unbowed, Kimmel fired back at the president's claim on his Instagram Story, writing: 'I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret.' The dig was a reference to an alleged birthday card Trump gave to the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein in which he purportedly wrote, 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,' according to the Wall Street Journal . But when Trump, who filed a $10-billion lawsuit against the publication, was asked during a White House press briefing whether 'the hate Trump business model is going out of business,' he said, 'It hasn't worked for a long time.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO The president then sounded off on the state of late-night television. 'Colbert has no talent. I mean, I could take anybody here, I could go outside on the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that would do just as well or better. They'd get higher ratings than he did. He's got no talent. Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next. They're going to be going. I hear they are going to be going. I don't know, but I would imagine, because Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Trump also weighed in on rumours that Howard Stern's satellite radio show might be ending, adding: 'Howard Stern is a name I haven't heard. I used to do his show. We used to have fun, but I haven't heard that name in a long time. What happened? He got terminated? … You know when he went down? When he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience. People said, 'Give me a break.'' If Kimmel decides to leave, that likely won't stop him from being a target of Trump's vicious online attacks. After O 'Donnell revealed she had moved to Ireland, Trump floated the possibility he might take her citizenship away. 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Trump wrote in a social media post last month. Calling her a 'threat to humanity,' h e added that O'Donnell should stay in Ireland 'if they want her.' mdaniell@ Toronto Blue Jays Opinion Toronto & GTA Toronto Blue Jays Toronto Blue Jays

Jimmy Kimmel reveals his Italian citizenship, hints at move amid Trump feud
Jimmy Kimmel has revealed that he has obtained his Italian citizenship amid his feud with U.S. President Donald Trump. The late-night talk show host, 57, shared the news on The Sarah Silverman Podcast and said he is considering leaving the United States as they discussed the country in Trump's second term. 'A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship,' Silverman said. 'I did get Italian citizenship. I do have that,' Kimmel said. 'What's going on is … as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than [Trump] would like it to be.' Kimmel said that he thinks there's a lot of people who are criticizing Trump now after previously supporting him in past elections. Story continues below advertisement 'There are a lot of people … now you see these clips of Joe Rogan saying, 'Why's he doing this? He shouldn't be deporting people.' People go, 'F–k you, you supported him.' I don't buy into that. I don't believe 'F–k you, you supported him,'' Kimmel said. 'I think the door needs to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do.' He continued, 'If you want to admit you were wrong, that's so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome.' The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host was making reference to podcaster Rogan who spoke out against Trump's deportation policies in April, saying, 'You've got to get scared that people who are not criminals are getting, like, lassoed up and deported and sent to El Salvador prisons.' 1:16 Fallon, Kimmel are 'next' after Colbert cancellation and Stern exit: Trump Kimmel's comments came one week after Trump doubled down on his claims that Kimmel is 'next' to lose his show following the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Story continues below advertisement During a press conference at the White House last Wednesday, Real America's Voice reporter Brian Glenn asked Trump about reports that radio host Howard Stern may part ways with Sirius XM after his contract expires in the fall.

In his response, Trump used the example of the recent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and added that he believes Kimmel and Fallon are next. 'Well, it hasn't worked,' Trump replied. 'And it hasn't worked, really, for a long time, and I would say pretty much from the beginning. Colbert has no talent. I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside in the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They'd get higher ratings than he did. He's got no talent.' 'Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next. They're going to be going. I hear they're going to be going. I don't know, but I would imagine because they'd get — you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.' 1:18 Stephen Colbert claps back at Trump: 'Go f**k yourself' Trump made a similar statement on Truth Social after Colbert's show was cancelled last month. Story continues below advertisement He criticized Kimmel and claimed he has 'absolutely NO TALENT' while warning that his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is next on the chopping block. 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes, and shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone,' Trump wrote on Truth Social on July 22. 'These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!' Kimmel responded by sharing a screenshot of Trump's post on Instagram with the caption: 'I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret' — a reference to a Wall Street Journal report, published July 17, that claimed Trump had written the phrase to Jeffrey Epstein in a letter for his 50th birthday in 2003.

Review: Music On Main's The Kessler Academy proves Tippett's Concerto is for today
Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Something wonderful took place at the Roundhouse on Sunday afternoon, the capstone concert of the latest iteration of The Kessler Academy. A project of Music On Main, the Academy places advanced string players alongside members of the Microcosmos String Quartet. Over an intense period of rehearsal, members of the quartet mentor the students as they prepare carefully selected works for public performance. The Academy was created to honour the 100th birthday of Susan Kessler, one of Vancouver's great music enthusiasts and widow of Jack Kessler, concertmaster of the late lamented CBC Radio Orchestra. The ensemble performs under the direction of Marc D'Estrubé, who leads as concertmaster, emphatically not as conductor. This is collaborative music making, chamber music on a large scale.

This year featured two remarkable works written by English composers just before the Second World War: Benjamin Britten's Les Illuminations, a song cycle for tenor and strings, and Michael Tippett's Concerto for Double String Orchestra. There was a special guest this summer, British tenor Charles Daniels, who has been featured by Early Music Vancouver and demonstrated his commanding expertise with Baroque music. He is also a superlative exponent of the music of Benjamin Britten, having worked with Britten's life partner Sir Peter Pears. Britten composed his song cycle on French prose texts by Arthur Rimbaud in the USA in 1939, during the pacifist composer's fraught and complicated brief period of self-exile. Presented as the climax of the program, Les Illuminations demonstrated a hard-hearted brilliance and theatricality: clever, showy writing that exploits every string effect in the book and sets Rimbaud's texts with consummate verve. While it lacks some of the heart and humility of Britten's immediate post-American works, it remains a real tour de force. That the young string players were there to back up and learn from a great Britten expert was truly exceptional. They will cherish this memory for the rest of their careers, a lucky association with an artist of commanding authority. Michael Tippett's Concerto, written in England at exactly the same moment Britten was grappling with Rimbaud, is a thornier proposition: a great work that jumbles Handelian counterpoint, folk tunes, hints of blues, and neoclassicism. Tippett doesn't appeal to every listener, and performers and conductors often shy away from his complex works, rife with complicated rhythms and a general sense of scarcely controlled anarchy. He can veer unpredictably from great, long-breathed tunes to dense chromatic counterpoint, from learned complexity to naive sentimentality. Where pros often choose discretion as the better part of valor and exclude Tippett from their safe playlists, the Kessler bunch rushed in with enthusiasm and determination. While it wasn't the most polished performance imaginable, that was definitely not the point. Tippett was woke long before the invention of the somewhat odious term: he supported causes popular and controversial, was fiercely egalitarian, and more than a little contradictory. He believed in great ideas, individualism, and artistic truth, without pandering to commercial tastes. If I know anything about a composer I admire immensely, I am sure he would have judged this a great performance: young 21st-century players, a mosaic of Vancouver-style multiculturalism, playing their hearts out in music often considered too close to the pastoral English tradition to be universally relevant. What nonsense — and what sublimely audacious programming! Sir Michael would have been pleased. Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?
