Golden Goose opens first junior stores in Milan and Dubai, launches Pescheria format in Forte dei Marmi, opens store in Dallas
The stores' décor is inspired by children's bedrooms, and is characterised by a 'think big' design philosophy: Every element features on an exaggerated scale, for example an oversize bed, huge toy sculptures, and a myriad building blocks. The ceiling's wallpaper is decorated with a cosmic motif, and there is no shortage of vintage details and hidden corners.
Interactive elements such as a co-creation table and various play walls invite children to experiment with design. Goldy, a soft, customizable plush toy and the official Golden Goose Kids mascot, is debuting in the new stores. Creative workshops will also be held in the stores, giving the whole family a chance to enjoy shared educational and networking opportunities.
The openings have coincided with the launch of the new Golden Goose Kids collection of sneakers, apparel and accessories for infants, children and teenagers, characterised by the brand's signature vintage/varsity aesthetic and well-worn style.
This summer, Golden Goose will also be back for the sixth consecutive year at Italian seaside resort Forte dei Marmi with a new concept, Pescheria Golden, where the brand's retail space morphs into a lively fishmonger (or 'pescheria' in Italian). A boat, striped awnings, wooden boxes and hand-painted tiles welcome visitors to the Pescheria, where a series of buoys lead to the area where customers can personalise their sneakers with marine-inspired crystals and charms, and hand-embroidered and painted elements.
The décor inside the Pescheria features a soft palette of blue and off-white, with added nautical cables and rudders, while the fitting rooms are disguised as cold storage rooms. The fish counter, the heart of the store, displays Golden Goose sneakers among ice buckets, ceramic fish and product tags. There is also a corner for children, decorated with boats, woven baskets and souvenirs. The new Pescheria concept introduces the brand's Golden Resort Collection 2025: A relaxed Mediterranean-inspired wardrobe featuring garments in lightweight cotton, soft linen and sailor-stripe motifs, all in marine shades and pale pastel colours.
The women's collection is characterised by airy silhouettes, crochet dresses and pyjama-style ensembles, while the men's line is casual-elegant, featuring linen fabrics, nautical prints and retro volumes. This season's Golden Goose sneakers combine artisanal details with vibrant hues, while accessories like raffia bags, straw hats with nautical motifs and a macramé bag with a lobster-shaped charm complete the range.
Finally, Golden Goose has inaugurated its third Forward store in the USA, at the NorthPark Center in Dallas. The brand's two other US stores were opened in New York in 2022 and in Miami's Design District in 2023. The décor of the 550-square-metre store is inspired by the brand's Venetian headquarters and its Italian heritage, with raw concrete walls and tin ceilings, offset by homely touches such as period rugs, vintage wooden furniture and souvenirs collected all over the world for the Golden Goose archive.

Is Oasis coming to mainland Europe for their reunion tour?
When Oasis announced they were getting back together and taking the show on the road, no dates were listed for venues in mainland Europe. Guess fans on the continent just had to roll with it. Liam and Noel Gallagher kicked off their Live '25 Tour in Wales at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last month, and they've brought their long-awaited reunion tour to their hometown of Manchester and most recently London. Next up are shows in Edinburgh and Dublin, as well as stops in North and South America, Australia and Japan. However, there may still be some hope left for fans in mainland EU... The Rome City Councillor for Major Events has claimed that 'negotiations are underway' to bring Oasis' tour to the Italian city – sparking rumours that more dates could follow. Alessandro Onorato said on local radio station Radio Sei that he's making efforts to bring the tour to Italy. 'Organising a large event in Rome is very complicated; in the past, Rome has been the 'city of missed opportunities.'' He continued: 'Oasis in the capital? These are live shows for companies that organise events all over the world, and the financial aspect is crucial. Negotiations are underway.' So, could Oasis be adding some more dates? Don't get too excited just yet, as Onorato's comments come after the Britpop band's manager Alex McKinlay denied that more tour dates were going to be announced. In May, McKinlay told Music Week: 'This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to.' He added that there would not be any new material from Oasis: 'There's no plan for any new music.' Then came a response from Liam Gallagher, who took to X to contradict McKinlay's comments and reaffirm that only he and his brother call the shots when it comes to Oasis updates. 'The only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID (Noel) so let's just take it 1 day at a time.' He later doubled down on his stance, telling another fan who thought 'there must be a degree of truth' to the manager's comments that McKinley is 'the accountant' for the band. So, who knows right now... All mainland European fans have to do is pray to that Champagne Supernova in the sky and stay tuned for any possible extra tour dates. In other Oasis-related news, it was recently announced that the money made from Oasis' shows at Manchester's Heaton Park would be used to help fund grassroots music venues in the city. Indeed, the Manchester city council announced a £250,000 (€287,000) fund for local music venues – a move that comes amid worrying statistics about the UK's live music scene in recent years. Last year, it was shared that only 11 of the 34 grassroots venues that Oasis had previously performed in still remain open, and in 2023, it was revealed that the UK was set to lose more than 10 per cent of its grassroots music venues. The Oasis tour continues. After dates in in the UK and Ireland come stops in North and South America, Asia and Australia - ending (for the moment) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on 23 November.

Why landowners have introduced fee on this Italian hiking trail
High in the Italian Dolomites, a hiking trail on Seceda mountain has become a renowned place for taking dramatic shots of the spiky Odle Peaks. But its growing fame on social media is becoming a nightmare for residents of the area in South Tyrol. This summer, walkers and locals have been sharing images of the route jammed with queues of tourists waiting to take Instagram-worthy snaps. Some 8,000 people reportedly walked the path on a single day last week. Frustrations have grown to the point that local landowners have decided to take independent action and install a turnstile at the beginning of a trail. The move has been controversial, but it is highlighting a wider, growing issue of overtourism, poor visitor behaviour, and environmental damage in Italy's mountains. Farmers ask tourists to pay fee to hike scenic route At the beginning of July, a group of local farmers set up a turnstile with a toll on the Odle trail to protest against the constant passage of tourists who, they say, disrespect the area. "The trails are abandoned and the meadows are full of rubbish," they said in a statement. The turnstile was quickly deactivated by the Puez-Odle Nature Park authorities. However, in recent days, the system has been reinstated. The landowners said in a statement that the initial installation of the turnstile was primarily intended as a provocation - or a 'cry for help' as local newspaper Il Dolomiti describes it. However, since receiving no contact from 'political representatives, associations, or organisations", they chose to reactivate the system. Anyone who wishes to hike along the route is asked to pay a €5 fee - children and residents excluded. There is a person present to take payments, which can be made by cash or card. The landowners say they have been obliged to charge a toll to compensate for the damage to their land and to fund their upkeep of the slopes. Mountain associations denounce the turnstile Local tourism associations and mountain guides have weighed in on the debate, with many denouncing the landowners' move. "If from one day to the next every landowner imposed a toll, what would happen?" Tullio Mussner, president of the Lia da Mont association, told local news outlet L'Altramontagna. There are reportedly now staff members of the tourism association Dolomites Val Gardena posted at the turnstile to inform visitors that it is not mandatory to pay the requested fee. They also direct hikers to an alternative, slightly longer route that bypasses the gate and still reaches the famous panoramic viewpoint of the Odle Peaks. The organisation is reportedly preparing an information sign to be placed next to the turnstile, clarifying that it is a private initiative and indicating the way to the alternative route. Greater regulation of tourism is needed in the Dolomites Others, including local residents, say the provocative move by landowners has been useful. Carlo Alberto Zanella, president of the South Tyrolean branch of the national hiking association Club Alpino Italia (CIA), told local newspaper Salto, 'it serves to bring a real problem to public attention.' He said visitors walk through or cycle across the meadows bordering the trail, spoiling the fields and their crops before the farmers can harvest. 'You need education about how to respect the environment. That's the point.' Local tourism groups also acknowledge that overcrowding is partly due to a lack of regulation by provincial authorities. Mussner called for local farmers to be financially compensated for summer tourism, as is done in winter for owners of land crossed by ski slopes. This is particularly urgent given the booming interest in mountain destinations amid boiling European summers. According to research by the Demoskopika Institute, for the second consecutive year, South Tyrol is one of the destinations in Italy most exposed to tourist overcrowding, on a par with Venice. Is Apple to blame for the Seceda mountain's popularity? Some say the culprit of this area's popularity is the technology company Apple. It used a photograph of the Seceda mountain as the official wallpaper for its iOS 7 operating system a decade ago. Two years ago, it featured the Seceda again in a short promotional video during the iPhone 15 launch event. Local groups say the result of that involuntary publicity was a huge increase in visitors, often driven by the desire to just take a few photos of the views and then leave. They also say that the cable car from Ortisei that takes passengers to the summit is exacerbating the problem. The route has also seen intense overcrowding, with local guides warning visitors to arrive early in the morning to avoid the lengthy queues. Some tourism and environmental groups are now calling for a price increase in summer or even its complete closure in peak season to prevent the unsustainable influx of visitors. The company that operates the cable car has instead proposed tripling its capacity amid much controversy and fears of stoking the overtourism problem.

Milan women's fashion week reveals a packed lineup for September
KNWLS will make its Milan debut on Wednesday, September 24. Known for its sexy, Y2K-inspired silhouettes and focus on feminine empowerment, the London-based brand has built strong momentum in recent years. English designer Charlotte Knowles and her Canadian partner Alexandre Arsenault founded the label in 2017. A finalist for the 2022 LVMH Prize, KNWLS now appears in more than 50 top multi-brand retailers worldwide. Several designers will return to the Milan schedule this season after recent absences, including Boss, Calcaterra, Federico Cina, The Attico, and Stella Jean. Anglo-Nigerian designer Ineye Tokyo James, who first showed in Milan in February 2022 and returned in digital format last March, will also be back. Vietnamese designer Phan Dang Hoang, who debuted in September 2024, will return to the calendar as well. Indian designer Dhruv Kapoor and French designer Pierre-Louis Mascia, both previously shown on the menswear schedule, will shift to the women's week. The Milano Moda Graduate show will return on Sunday, September 28, for its 11th edition, spotlighting emerging talent from Italian fashion schools. A day earlier, on Saturday, September 27, the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards will honor leadership in eco-conscious fashion. Launched in 2017 by the Italian Fashion Chamber, the awards have become a benchmark in sustainable innovation. This summer edition will also see several brands step away from the schedule. In addition to Versace, both Marni and Bally will remain absent as they undergo creative transitions. Fiorucci will now appear on the Men's Fashion Week calendar, having shifted its showing to June. Other brands missing from the provisional lineup include Avavav, which had shown in Milan since September 2023; Susan Fang, who presented last March with support from Dolce & Gabbana; and Philipp Plein, K-Way, and DSquared2. Despite these absences, Milan Fashion Week will continue to showcase the strength of Made in Italy. Powerhouse labels such as Prada, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, and Max Mara will lead a calendar that remains among the most influential in global fashion.
