Missoni announces residential real estate project in Portugal
Missoni is premièring on the Portuguese real estate market with Aroeira Collections by Missoni, a residential and tourism project developed in collaboration with Norfin SGOIC, one of the leading real estate investment firms in Portugal. Work on the project, for a total planned investment of €200 million, is scheduled to begin in Q3 2025, with completion by 2027.
'Bringing Missoni's aesthetics to life in a residential space was an exciting challenge. We wanted to create an environment that embodied our brand's distinctive art while maintaining a link with the surrounding landscape,' said Alberto Caliri, creative director of Missoni.
The residential complex, an exclusive coastal oasis on the southern shore of the Costa da Caparica, is located in Aroeira, just 30 minutes south of Lisbon, and extends over 350 hectares. The centrepiece will be the Aroeira Collections Hotel, featuring 138 one and two-bedroom suites, 40 two and three-bedroom residential apartments, 24 two to four-bedroom homes, and 28 villas with three to five-bedroom configurations.
The complex will also include a PGA championship golf course, a health club, two swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, a restaurant, children's play areas, and a reception desk open 24 hours a day.
'Aroeira Collections by Missoni redefines the concept of luxury residential properties with its unique fusion of fashion, design and architecture, curated by Alberto Caliri and renowned Portuguese architects Ana Costa, João Favila Meneses and Pedro Domingos. The complex has been developed with the utmost respect for the natural environment, maximising the play of light and shadow, and ensuring that the properties integrate harmoniously within the landscape. The interiors will feature Missoni's iconic patterns and vibrant colours in a blend of timeless elegance, paying tribute to Portuguese design through the recreation of Atelier Daciano da Costa's furniture,' Missoni said in a press release.
The project's green design is in line with ESG principles and with the EU taxonomy for sustainable business activities: Native plant species will be used for landscaping, without importing earth from elsewhere, and the hotel's construction will follow the LEED certification criteria for sustainable buildings.

Louis Vuitton fights Portuguese liqueur firm over 'same logo' use
In a true David versus Goliath struggle in the business world, the French conglomerate Louis Vuitton has launched an intellectual property lawsuit against the Portuguese liqueur producer, Licores do Vale. The French firm says the Monção company's use of an LV (with an inverted V) on the labels of its bottles, and a graphic for its brand's communications, are too similar to the one used by the fashion house in its productions. The action was brought before Intellectual Property Court in order to challenge the registration of the Portuguese brand by the National Institute of Industrial Property. According to the lawsuit filed and quoted by Jornal de Notícias, Louis Vuitton accuses Licores do Vale of "parasitically exploiting the prestige of a third party's brand", and creating "unfair competition" with an "identical or similar" symbol. The French giant says that it is "an almost total reproduction" at "verbal, phonetic and conceptual" level and that it has registered products in the same category, thus reinforcing the alleged similarities. A post shared by Licores do Vale (@_licores_do_vale) Licores do Vale producer, André Ferreira told Jornal de Notícias, that he developed the logo together with his girlfriend in order to promote the product at small agricultural fairs in the region. "The L is for liqueurs and the V is for valley, it was turned upside down to symbolise the mountains surrounding the parish [of Longos Vales] and the little leaves represent nature," he said. Ferreira, a metrology technician, who is trying to take his first steps in the world of artisanal production, says he was "surprised" by the measure, emphasising that the products are not on sale for now. "This is a hobby. We've only just begun and started straight away with this entry. The Louis Vuitton logo and the Licores do Vale logo have nothing to do with each other." Ferreira applied to register the trade mark in August 2024 and it was granted in January 2025. At the time, Louis Vuitton "prioritised international trademark registrations", with no consequences for the small Portuguese producer, who saw his application accepted. Even so, and despite the registration having been approved, the legal appeal now lodged by Louis Vuitton puts that registration on hold, leaving "Licores do Vale" in limbo. On social media, particularly Instagram, many users have shown their support for the small Portuguese producer, encouraging him to continue his business and even to take advantage of the media coverage generated by the case. On Instagram, where liqueurs of different flavours are discussed, the small business has just over 1,000 followers. Louis Vuitton, a French brand with 170 years of history, has more than 55 million followers on Instagram alone. Where is Marty McFly's missing guitar? If you're a fan of the Back To The Future films, you'll know exactly what that question's about. In the first Back to the Future film, Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, grabbed a cherry red ES-345 Gibson guitar and rocked out at a 1950s high school dance. He played 'Johnny B Goode' to a bemused crowd of teens in one of the film's most memorable scenes. The Gibson has been lost in the years since the time travel comedy was released in 1985 and now, four decades later, the guitar brand has teamed up with the stars of the film to begin a search for the iconic instrument. In a video by Gibson, with the movie's theme song playing in the background, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Harry Waters Jr. make a cinematic plea. Lloyd, who played the beloved Doc Brown, says in the video that the guitar has been 'lost to the future.' 'It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum,' says Fox. 'Or it's in some Teamster's garage.' 'No one's seen that guitar since 1985, and we need to find it' Waters adds. 'Ask your friends, ask your relatives, ask your bandmates'. There's also a surprise appearance by Huey Lewis, whose band Huey Lewis and the News performed the soundtrack's headliner song, 'The Power of Love'. They all urge those with information on the guitar's whereabouts to submit tips via phone or to visit their website. The Back To The Future trilogy was released between 1985 and 1990. It spawned a video game, stage musical, as well as a cartoon series. It is also credited with being the main inspiration for the popular animation show Rick And Morty. However, the creative team have sworn that there will never be a fourth movie – with writer Bob Gale, speaking in the press room at The Saturn Awards earlier this year, saying: 'People always say, 'When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?'' He shared his answer to the question: 'We say, 'Fuck you'!' Quite right. Great Scott! Let's get finding that guitar.

Stand.earth report: H&M outranks Zara and Shein on climate goals
'We are starting to see more of a division in the fashion sector,' said Todd Paglia, executive director of 'We have this smaller group of companies actually putting money and staff into making this change happen,' he said. 'But the majority of fashion companies still aren't taking enough action.' Shein, for example, landed in what the report calls the 'F club.' Since the last scorecard, its supply chain (or Scope 3) emissions have climbed by more than 170%, according to the analysis. Shein, which is reportedly working toward an IPO in Hong Kong, hasn't yet released its 2024 sustainability report. A Shein spokesperson said the company has rolled out several decarbonization projects in the past few years and recently partnered with industry consultants to develop new ways to reduce emissions over the short and long term. As the business grows, however, the company may see emissions increase in parts of its operations as 'we implement and scale our reduction strategies,' the spokesperson said. Shein announced the launch of a €200 million ($228 million) 'circularity fund' in the UK and EU last July and committed to investing €50 million in broader ESG efforts. In its 2023 sustainability report, it said it intended to cut its emissions by 25% by 2030 and to achieve net zero by 2050. developed the Fossil -Free Fashion Scorecard to map companies' progress in decarbonizing their supply chains. The scoring looks at five categories: commitment and transparency, renewable energy, low-carbon materials, clean shipping, and advocacy. H&M's Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were only about half as much as Zara's or Shein's. It still has the largest Scope 1 and 2 emissions of the three, but that represents a much smaller fraction of the total. Henrik Sundberg, H&M's climate impact lead, said the company is systematic in how it reduces its footprint. 'Measuring our emissions accurately and building a clear roadmap to reach those targets — that's the approach that has worked for us,' he said. H&M was one of only three brands reviewed by that met rigorous United Nations criteria for net zero target integrity. According to the report, it was one of six that provided financing to suppliers to transition to clean energy, either directly or in the form of a bank loan. The company reported spending about $179 million last year on decarbonization measures. Inditex received a high score for its climate and energy commitments, as well as its transparency. It was also one of eight brands that raised their Scope 3 emissions targets compared to the previous report. However, Inditex and Shein were among five companies that reported a significant increase in emissions since their baseline year. 'Inditex has set significantly more ambitious climate goals,' said Rachel Kitchin, senior corporate climate campaigner. 'At the same time, we have noted that the company's emissions have continued to increase in both transportation and manufacturing.' Inditex said it couldn't comment on the report before reviewing it. A company spokesperson said that in 2024, it reduced its Scope 3 emissions by more than 560,000 tons, compared with 2018, 'thereby underscoring the importance of collaboration with our supply chain.' The scorecard criteria have been externally reviewed by independent experts and stakeholder organizations such as Action Speaks Louder and the Changing Markets Foundation, according to Its research relies on brands volunteering to disclose their emissions data to CDP, a nonprofit that maintains the world's largest corporate emissions database. Paglia said that the sustainability gap between fashion brands proves that doing better is possible. 'What we are seeing is that you can do it despite the complexity and difficulty,' he said. 'There are no excuses left for the companies falling behind.'
