Schiaparelli: A Swan Song That Fused Then and Now
If such a notion sounded poignant, the collection itself was anything but. 'Last season was more emotional,' Roseberry said. 'This one, I wanted to be harder, more direct, more confrontational.' The colour palette he found in the archives didn't look modern to him. One easy fix: the timelessness of monochrome. Fade to black and white, which encouraged the silhouettes to be equally graphic. 'Less body modification and radical corseting, less exaggeration,' Roseberry added. The occasional grand floor-sweeping volume still spoke to classic couture, but there was also bias-cutting, rather than corseting, to create shape, and a new moulded shoulder and hip, a pared back, more rational Schiap. As Roseberry pointed out, Elsa herself was 'rigorous and controlled during the day and then at night, she's a swan, a radish, a surrealist…' Schiaparelli Autumn/Winter 2025 (Schiaparelli)
Swan? Radish? Why stop at 'modern'? Roseberry decided to head onwards and upwards and make the archives feel futuristic. There was a sci-fi silveriness to the strongest looks. A matador outfit — silver patent Perfecto and matching torero pants — fused Schiap and Ziggy Stardust. A sumptuous black tulle cape embroidered with Versailles's Fountain of Apollo (originally designed by Elsa for Lady Mendl in 1938) duplicated the water in a cosmic starburst of silver pearls, sequins and rhinestones, like something the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will capture in deep space. Maggie Maurer's sheath of lamé chiffon featured tulle cut-outs that seemed to have drawn a cornucopia of silvery slugs (haute body horror). Elsa's old collaborator Salvador Dalí would have appreciated that, as he would have enjoyed the necklace which ended in a human-heart-shaped ball of red rhinestones that pulsated as the model walked.

Schiap's surrealist roots probably run too deep for Roseberry to dispense with them in his 'restructuring,' especially when they loaned an invaluable edge to Monday's swansong. Kudos to Stephen Jones' upended flower pot hats, Pat McGrath's monochrome makeup and an armful of gorgeous bracelets that were a futuristic interpretation of Nancy Cunard's accessories in her iconic 1927 portrait by Man Ray. In his lyrical show notes, Roseberry told the story of Elsa's flight to New York as the Nazis closed in on Paris in June 1940. He dedicated his collection to that period, 'when life and art was on the precipice: to the sunset of elegance, and to the end of the world as we knew it.' Dada and surrealism were artistic responses to a world gone mad. In naming his presentation 'Back to the Future,' Roseberry was, in his own way, acknowledging certain inescapable geopolitical parallels. (He felt the fact that there is a major Man Ray retrospective opening at the Met in September offered subtle confirmation.)
On a personal level, he saw looking back to move forward as a way to counter what he himself clearly feels has become overly predictable. 'I was really interested in trying to achieve something that looked identifiably Schiap without needing corsets and even sometimes an overdose of embroidery.' Hear, hear. And mission accomplished. I guess we can wave goodbye to the past and say hello to a brave new Daniel Roseberry. Schiaparelli Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2025 look 1.

David Beckham extends olive branch to son Brooklyn in midst of nasty family feud
David Beckham is making the first move. The retired English football star appeared to extend an olive branch to his eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, 26, as rumors continue to swirl about their family's nasty feud. The public rift, which started after the pro photographer and his wife, Nicola Peltz, failed to attend David's 50th birthday bash in May, has only appeared to worsen in the past several months. Advertisement 12 David Beckham liked this post shared by Brooklyn Beckham. 12 Nicola Peltz, David Beckahm, Brooklyn Beckham, Harper Beckham, and Cruz Beckham attend Victoria Beckham's Womenswear Fall Winter 2023-2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week in Paris, France, on March 03, 2023. Instagram/@victoriabeckham David seemed to wave the white flag, though, when he liked one of his son's Instagram reels, signaling that a family reunion might soon be on the horizon. Advertisement In the video, Brooklyn is seen smiling as he holds up his two adorable dogs before teaching his followers how to make spaghetti carbonara.

Many of his followers even noted David in the comment section of the reel. 'You look like your dad Brooklyn 😊😘,' one person replied. 'He's mini David naturally,' wrote another. 12 Brooklyn Beckham in New York on July 31, 2025.

She later refuted the claims that she was involved with either brother. But the alleged relationship ignited mayhem within the Beckham brood.

Advertisement Romeo and Turnbull were said to have split in June. 'It was unfortunate that it got to that point, but family comes first for Romeo,' a source told Us Weekly. David and Victoria — who share four children: sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14 — were 'hopeful' that the breakup would reunite their family, but it only seemed to distance them. 12 Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz on a yacht in July 2025. nicolaannepeltzbeckham/Instagram Last month, it was reported that Brooklyn, Peltz, Romeo and Cruz Beckham all unfollowed each other on Instagram. Advertisement 'Brooklyn and Nicola didn't purposely unfollow the siblings,' an insider told Page Six, suggesting that the brothers might have blocked them. 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect,' another source claimed. Victoria, meanwhile, is reportedly hoping her sons put down their swords by December, with insiders alleging she's 'very worried' the family feud will 'ruin' her annual holiday card.

3 Fall 2025 Shoe Trends You Can Already Wear
The line-up of autumn/winter 2025 shoe trends reads like a wishlist of wardrobe classics. A fresh batch of fashion sneakers had the front row craning their necks at the runway shows, including styles presented by Miuccia Prada, who has become a master purveyor of excellent off-duty footwear. Together with Raf Simons, Ms. Prada complemented paper bag-waistband skirts with leather sneakers, complete with intentionally-distressed details like scuffs and raw edges. At Miu Miu, meanwhile, the final product was quite the opposite: smooth leather trainers, realized in retro silhouettes, with intricately-stitched accents and buckles. In today's comfort-driven age, these Miu Mius could fall into the 'smart shoe' category, but for those with a penchant for more trad takes, an array of lace-ups also featured on the runways – Victoria Beckham, Rabanne and McQueen were but a few brands that demonstrated easy-to-achieve polish. Willing to embrace a heel? Knife-edged styles courtesy of Saint Laurent, gathered satin pumps at Dries Van Noten and pointed takes at Tom Ford will satiate a stiletto appetite. Here, Vogue highlights a hat-trick of standout autumn/winter 2025 shoe trends – and where to shop them, now – updated as retailer deliveries drop. The Top Fall/Winter 2025 Shoe Trends Photos: Courtesy of Bally, Rabanne, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein and Victoria Beckham Derbies and Brogues Even the simplest of outfits can benefit from a great shoe: a T-shirt and jeans pairing, for example, is immediately elevated with the addition of a high-shine derby or brogue. The autumn/winter 2025 runways presented an abundance of options, plus a healthy bank of styling inspiration to make getting dressed in the morning that little bit easier. Photos: Courtesy of Stella McCartney, Polo Ralph Lauren, Prada, Miu Miu, and Simone Rocha Next-Gen Sneakers Each season, a selection of wishlist-worthy options enter the fore. While sportswear behemoths will no doubt contribute a plethora of viral styles to the sneaker sphere in the coming months, fashion types will be fawning over Miu Miu's buckled trainers, Prada's distressed styles, Simone Rocha's ribboned laces, and Stella McCartney's retro pairs. Photos: Courtesy of Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, Dries Van Noten, Ferragamo, and Prada Fashion Pumps What makes a pump a 'fashion' pump? When it's given special treatment by a top-tier designer, of course, by way of extravagant bows, frilled flourishes, satin wraps or heels that could (metaphorically) splice a diamond. Saint Laurent, Dries Van Noten, Ferragamo, Tom Ford, and Prada (naturally) delivered on all fronts.

Disneyland Offering Limited Time Freebie Experience in Hidden Gem Attraction
Disney California Adventure is about to be home to a limited time freebie experience. This is an update to an earlier version of this article that incorrectly reported that a now closed part of this space would be used for this offering. All of the details on what is coming to Disney California Adventure and the location for this new offering are below. READ MORE – There is no better feeling than walking up to the gates with the Halloween decor about to start your Disney day! Disneyland Bringing New Offering to Animation Building Space Starting August 29, while supplies last, there will be a Disney Lorcana Collection Quest activation in Sorcerer's Workshop inside the Animation Building at Disney California Adventure. Disney Lorcana is a trading card game where players ("Illumineers") use six types of magical ink to summon versions of Disney characters ("Glimmers"). The game involves collecting cards, building decks, and strategically playing against opponents. During the Disney Lorcana Collection Quest activation this summer, guests will receive a free Disney Lorcana booster pack, and they will interact with other guests to find and trade cards. This activity will be free to all guests in the park. After they complete their quest, they will receive a Belle, Accomplished Mystic card. This card is the first of a new type of "Magical Places" promo card, signified by a castle turret symbol, which is exclusive to select Disney-owned and operated locations. The experience is being offered inside the Sorcerer's Workshop, which is part of the Animation Building experience. Here you can learn to draw a favorite Disney character, meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen, check out Turtle Talk With Crush, or learn to draw in the Sorcerer's Workshop. You should also generally check out the lobby, seen above, to experience some amazing film clips and raw animation from the Disney movies. This is a great place to escape the summer heat. We previously inaccurately shared a report that this new Lorcana offering would take place in the now closed Beast's Library in the Animation Building. We can now report that the Beast's Library space will NOT be used as part of this offering. The Beast's Library in the Animation Building used to be a space where guests could sit and take a quiz to see which Disney character they were. The room would occasionally shift in atmosphere, with lighting changes and other effects that made the space come alive. This was one of our favorite hidden gem experiences in the park to escape from the crowds, and we were sad to see it close. The experience closed back in December 2023 to become the new home of Disney Imagination Campus, which was moved from Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar to make way for the new Disney Vacation Club Welcome Center. READ MORE – There is no better feeling than walking up to the gates with the Halloween decor about to start your Disney day! The details on this trading quest were first reported by @inkbornheroes on Instagram, though we have now confirmed that the event will not take place in the Beast's Library but in the general Sorcerer's Workshop. There is an easy confusion here as the Beast's Library was at one point the next room after the Sorcerer's Workshop. This article has been updated with new information. Previously, we reported that the Beast's Library attraction would be used as the space for this limited time experience.
