American sportswear brand Gant has unveiled a new retail concept at its reopened Regent Street store in London. The 588 square metre flagship store 'represents a key milestone in the brand's global retail investments in the UK and worldwide', a press release stated.
The retail space intends to reflect a 'refined version' of Gant's retail concept, incorporating elements of its 'heritage and future vision' over its two floors. Both menswear and womenswear are on offer in the space, which in turn evokes the collegiate style of Gant's collections. Gant Regent Street store. Credits: Gant.
A colour palette of browns and matte greens sit alongside walnut and honey-stained oak fixtures, reminiscent of a library, while contemporary and classic pieces further expand on the concept.
In a release, Gant's EVP global commercial, brand and product, Fredrik Malm, said: 'We're thrilled to reopen our Regent Street flagship store. Thoughtfully designed and deeply rooted in our heritage, every element of the space reflects the brand's continued evolution and future vision. The result is a destination that unites our signature style—timeless yet contemporary—with elevated service and a refined environment that reflects who we are today and where we're headed.'

Elon Musk's brutal two-word takedown of Donald Trump's big tax break bill

Donald Trump's administration is pushing a piece of legislation in the United States which will be central to its agenda and will mean tax breaks as well as spending cuts Elon Musk lashed out at Donald Trump's"big, beautiful bill" of tax breaks and spending cuts calling it a "disgusting abomination" and testing his relationship with the President. The broadside at the centrepiece of Republicans' legislative agenda, which Musk issued on his social media platform X, came just days after the president gave him a celebratory Oval Office farewell that marked the end of his work for the administration, where he spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency. ‌ "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," Musk posted on X. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." ‌ The legislation, which has passed the House and is currently under debate in the Senate, would curtail subsidies that benefit Tesla, Musk's electric automaker. The tech billionaire followed his criticism with a threat aimed at Republicans. "In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people," he wrote in another X post. It's a sharp shift for Musk, the world's richest person who spent at least $250 million supporting Trump's campaign last year. He previously pledged to help defeat Republican lawmakers deemed insufficiently loyal to Trump, but now he's suggesting voting them out if they advance the president's legislative priority. However, it's unclear how Musk will follow through on his criticism. He recently said that he would spend "a lot less" on political campaigns, though he left the door open to political involvement "if I see a reason." The tech titan's missives could cause headaches for Republicans on Capitol Hill, who face conflicting demands from Trump and their party's wealthiest benefactor. Alex Conant, a Republican strategist, said "it's not helpful" to have Musk criticizing the legislation, but he doesn't expect lawmakers to side with Musk over Trump. ‌ "Senate Republicans are not going to let the tax cuts expire," Mr Conant said. "It just makes leadership's job that much harder to wrangle the holdouts." Trump can change the outcome in Republican primaries with his endorsements; Musk doesn't wield that level of influence, Mr Conant said. "No matter what Elon Musk or anybody else says - and I don't want to diminish him because I don't think that's fair - it's still going to be second fiddle to President Trump," said Republican West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito. ‌ Musk's business interests stand to take a hit if lawmakers approve Trump's bill, which would slash funding for electric vehicles and related technologies. Musk is the chief executive of Tesla, the nation's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, and SpaceX, which has massive defence contracts. Last month, Musk said he was "disappointed" by the spending bill, a much milder criticism than the broadside he levelled on Tuesday. The budget package seeks to extend tax cuts approved in 2017, during Trump's first term at the White House, and add new ones he campaigned on. It also includes a massive build-up of $350 billion for border security, deportations and national security. To defray some of the lost tax revenue to the government and limit piling onto the nation's $36 trillion debt load, Republicans want to reduce federal spending by imposing work requirements for some Americans who rely on government safety net services. ‌ Musk's post threw another hurdle in front of Senate Majority Leader John Thune's already complex task to pass a bill in time for Trump to achieve his goal of signing it by July 4. The South Dakota Republican has few votes to spare in the GOP's slim 53-seat majority. Two of the Senate's most fiscally hawkish Republicans quickly backed Musk. "We can and must do better," Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul wrote on X. Utah Sen. Mike Lee said "federal spending has become excessive," adding that it causes inflation and "weaponizes government." Still, Trump enjoys fierce loyalty among the GOP base, and in the end, his opinion may be the only one that matters. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt played down Musk's criticism. "The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill," Ms Leavitt said, and Musk's post "doesn't change the president's opinion." ‌ The tension in the GOP delighted Democrats, who found themselves in the unlikely position of siding with Musk. Democrats are waging an all-out political assault on GOP proposals to cut Medicaid, food stamps and green energy investments to help pay for more than $4.5 trillion in tax cuts - with many lawmakers being hammered at boisterous town halls back home. "We're in complete agreement," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said of Musk. The New York Democratic lawmaker stood alongside a poster-sized printout of Musk's post during a Capitol news conference. The last time Musk weighed in significantly on legislation, the scenario was far different. His power was ascendant after the election, with Trump joining him for a rocket test in Texas and appointing him to spearhead the Department of Government Efficiency. During the transition period, Musk started whipping up opposition to legislation that would prevent a government shutdown, posting about it repeatedly on X, his social media platform. Trump soon weighed in, encouraging Republicans to back out of a bipartisan deal. Lawmakers eventually patched together a new agreement.

Tully's enjoys busy start after opening in Llandrindod

IT'S been a busy few weeks for renowned Powys chef Jamie Tully, who opened his own American-style diner and sports bar in Llandrindod Wells at the end of May. Tully's Sports Diner opened on the ground floor of the Hampton Hotel on Wednesday, May 21, with the talented 31-year-old chef determined to bring customers a 'one-of-a-kind experience'. Tully's is open Wednesday and Thursday nights, as well as throughout the day on Fridays and Saturdays, and Jamie says it's been a frenetic start to life at the venue. 'It has been a very busy two weeks,' said Jamie, from Builth Wells. 'We are open and we have got off to a great start with a full restaurant every day since we opened. 'We have for sure had some teething issues, which was to be expected, but everything is hopefully on the right track.' Tully's is based at the spa town's Hampton Hotel. The idea for an American-themed restaurant came from Jamie's extensive travels across the world, and his longing for a genuine US road-style diner, combining that with a sports bar. 'The biggest thing I missed from my travels and work in the US was a proper American bar and a place where you can watch all of the American and global sports events,' he said previously. 'Tully's will be a food-led, American-style sports bar, serving up great food and a place where you can watch all of your favourite sports, including all the US sports. Tully's moved a step closer to becoming a reality when Jamie had a conversation with Neil Sanders, owner of the Hampton Hotel, with the Temple Street diner now occupying the building that was formerly the home of the Worth Your Salt burger joint. 'Together, we wanted to create something different for the town,' added Jamie. 'I am extremely excited to bring something different and with my travels and experience I hope to create a special place in the town.' Tully's advertises itself as classic American-style dining – 'Think crispy wings, juicy burgers and perfectly crafted sandwiches,' it said in a post on its Facebook page. 'Step into a space filled with old-school American charm, from US car plates to vintage beer signs," it reads. Jamie set up his own private chef business, Tully's Unit 13, in Llandrindod about a year ago.

Watkins' show at his home town of Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan is now called the Moo-La-La Festival. The Welshman, 49, said: 'I'm ­taking it as a massive ­compliment that they feel that our ­little festival is a little bit of a threat to their ginormous, juggernaut of a machine.
