The death of Edmund White, the American writer who put the 'gay novel' at the heart of his work
Susan Sontag described him as "one of the outstanding writers of prose in America." A trailblazer in gay literature, American novelist, biographer and literary critic Edmund White died at his New York home on Wednesday, June 4. He was 85 years old. Unflinching and without taboo, White made the "gay novel," as he called it, the epicenter of his body of work. "What I aim to do is explore facets of it that have not yet been addressed," he told Le Monde in 2013. At the time, he was in Paris for the French release of Jack Holmes and His Friend, the story of a friendship between a gay man and a straight man – a visit that delighted the renowned Francophile. From 1983 to 1990, he lived in France and often pointed out that he had "met everyone," from Yves Saint Laurent to Catherine Deneuve and Michel Foucault. He chronicled this cherished period in Inside a Pearl: My Years in Paris (2014). Born on January 13, 1940, in Cincinnati, Ohio, White was the son of a Texas businessman and a psychologist. In A Boy's Own Story (1982), he recounted his childhood in the Midwest and described his father, "who'd been a Texas cowboy as a young man." As a teenager, he realized he was gay and confided in his mother, who sent him to a psychoanalyst claiming he could "cure" him. Isolation and self-loathing marked those years, as White described in the second volume of his autobiography, The Beautiful Room is Empty (1988). When he learned he had been admitted to Harvard, the young White chose not to attend so he wouldn't have to leave his therapist. Prolific body of work The 1960s marked a liberation for him. In New York, he discovered the antithesis of family values, haunted the underbelly of the Village, reveled in sex and became the great chronicler of the "life among men." He described it with a precision whose boldness fascinated some and repelled others. With a wealth of detail, he depicted the frenzy that consumed him, describing it like an itch: "The more we scratched the more we itched (...) For us, there was nothing more natural than wandering into a park, a parked truck or a plundering body after body," he wrote in The Farewell Symphony (1997). His writing blended rawness, violence, ugliness and beauty. About Lou, a character in The Beautiful Room is Empty, he wrote a line that summed up the essence of his approach: "But through some curious alchemy, he'd redeemed our illness by finding beauty in it. He loved Baudelaire and like Baudelaire he searched out beauty in whatever was foul, artificial, damned..." With more than 20 books to his name, White's body of work unfolded like a polyptych – a shifting tableau of what he called the social and sexual history of three decades of gay life in the United States. He sought to recount this history as a witness, as lived by his generation: "psychoanalyzed and oppressed in the '50s and liberated in the '60s and exalted in the '70s and wiped out [by AIDS] in the '80s." Also in 2013, and in perfect French, he told us how, in 1985, he learned he was HIV-positive and how he reacted. "I thought: I'm obviously going to die. So I challenged fate. I began writing a biography of [French writer] Jean Genet. Everyone thought I was crazy. In fact, I probably am." By chance, he was among those in whom the virus advanced slowly. Not only did White complete his biography (which came out in 1993), but he later turned his attention to Marcel Proust (1998), and above all to Arthur Rimbaud, whom he first discovered, dazzled, at age 14 in his Michigan boarding school (Rimbaud: The Double Life of a Rebel, 2008). At Princeton University in New Jersey, where he taught fiction writing, White was a colleague and friend of Joyce Carol Oates. The writer paid tribute to him on the social network X, praising his "boldly pioneering subject matter" and "astonishing stylistic versatility."

Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds become co-owners of Australia SailGP team
The actors, who are close friends, join Olympic gold medallist and driver Tom Slingsby at the helm of a team which was rebranded the "Flying Roos". "We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure," the Australian Jackman and Canadian-American Reynolds said in a statement. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. "He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia." Jackman and Reynolds starred together last year in the blockbuster movie "Deadpool & Wolverine". Reynolds also owns Welsh football club Wrexham along with fellow actor Rob McElhenney. SailGP stages regattas close to shore with identical high-performance, foiling, multi-hull boats that can reach speeds of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). It was launched in 2019 by American billionaire Larry Ellison and champion New Zealand yachtsman Russell Coutts. Australia, skippered by Slingsby, have won three of the four editions so far. "This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team," said Slingsby. "They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling and a sharp sense of humour that fits perfectly with our team." The new-look team will make its debut this weekend in New York, the sixth leg of the season.

Re/Done appoints Phillip Prado as new CEO
Re/Done, the Los Angeles-based denim brand founded by Sean Barron and Jamie Mazur, has announced the appointment of Philip Prado as its new chief executive officer. 'Prado joins the company at a pivotal moment, as Re/Done prepares to build upon its cult status in denim and heritage-inspired essentials, while expanding into new product categories and global markets," according to a press release. Prado, a veteran of the luxury fashion industry, brings two decades of experience with roles at Calvin Klein, Burberry, and most recently Gucci, where he served as SVP, merchandising of the Americas market before assuming the role of global chief merchandising officer in Milan. 'Known for driving commercial success, while respecting creativity and brand heritage, Prado will lead Re/Done into its next chapter of brand growth and cultural relevance,' added Re/Done. "Re/Done's founding ethos, rooted in authenticity and honoring the past to inspire the future, is more relevant today than ever,' said Prado. 'Re/Done has built a strong identity and loyal following over the last decade, with a distinctive point of view and commitment to heritage, innovation and craftsmanship. I'm thrilled to join the team at a moment of true opportunity: to build on the brand's iconic foundation and expand into new territories and categories, while staying true to its creative spirit rooted in Los Angeles.' Founded in 2014, Re/Done quickly rose to prominence by deconstructing and remaking vintage Levi's into modern fits and silhouettes, and later expanding to partnerships with heritage American brands such as Hanes and Champion. The brand has since grown into a full lifestyle label with international distribution, beloved for its signature denim and t-shirts. Re/Done's focus on sustainability, craftsmanship, and storytelling has earned it a devoted following among celebrities including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, with a vibrant creative community across music, art, architecture, and fashion. With the appointment of Prado, Re/Done is set to further evolve its product offering, enter new categories, and diversify its channel mix. While wholesale has been a key driver of growth to date, with distribution in over 350 stores across top-tier global retailers in over 30 countries, the brand is increasing its investment in direct-to-consumer. The brand now has two boutiques in California, another in the Hamptons, in Aspen, and two more stores in Seoul, South Korea. Two years ago, Barron and Mazur also opened their first boutique in Paris, on the chic Rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement. Further initiatives are expected in the coming months with new markets such as New York, London and further expansion in Asia, and a renewed focus on optimizing the e-commerce business at Style Capital, the Milan-based private equity firm that first invested in Re/Done in 2018, has reaffirmed its commitment to the brand, becoming majority shareholder and signaling confidence in the company's long-term potential and international expansion plans. Susan Chokachi, longtime luxury executive and former Gucci chief brand officer and president and CEO of Gucci Americas, joins as chair of the board. 'Now is the right time to reinforce the structure of the company, financially and from a management standpoint, so we are pleased to appoint Phillip and to have Susan's experience to help guide the company into the next era,' said Roberta Benaglia, CEO of Style Capital. 'We have always believed in the vision of Re/Done and are committed to help fuel the brand's growth for the future.' 'Re/Done has always had a distinct position in the market—equal parts iconic brand, cultural movement, and creative platform,' said Chokachi. 'Re/Done has been an industry trailblazer on vintage and upcycling, building a great American brand on creative principles that matter to younger consumers. With Phillip at the helm and the continued support of Style Capital and the brand founders, we are poised to scale the best of the brand's core promise, while honoring its California roots and cultural authenticity.'
