Armarium Resort 2026 Collection
'I like to observe women and the way they engage with the world, but sometimes that leads me to overlook my own inner dimension,' said Gabriele. 'This season, there were no external influences—it is profoundly personal, even in the way it conveys a kind of confidence that should be embraced not only when the light begins to dim.'
A distilled expression of the collection is a black sheath dress studded with tubular glass and crystal fringe: the open back is closed with fabric panels constructed like origami. Bra straps are used as laces on the back of boxy jackets, allowing the fit to be adjusted and the silhouette to shift. Collar bars, traditionally hidden on men's shirts, are exposed and transformed into jewelry. Tuxedos and flared leather skirts, ultra-light knit dresses, and inside-out constructions— the tension between structure and sensuality is palpable.
The color palette moves between anthracite gray and glossy silver, rich black and buttery tones, punctuated by a vivid red—used for the first time in a striped poplin—and touches of oxford blue. New jewelry includes the mussel-shell brooch and a twisted rope parure. The season's footwear highlights include a deeply cut ballerina lined in suede, an ultra-bare sandal, and an ankle-strap pump.

The Bellini Is a Classic for a Reason. This Version Is Subtly Superior.
We drank Bellinis at my wedding, so I've got a soft spot for them. The combination of Prosecco and peach purée contains a whole swirl of other associations, too. Giuseppe Cipriani invented the cocktail around 1948 at the legendary Harry's Bar in Venice, or so the story goes. Its pinkish hue reminded him of the translucent light in paintings by the Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. I've heard inspiration came specifically from the San Zaccaria Altarpiece; now, every sip evokes violins, martyrs, vanishing points and the occasional beheading.

Eternal Sunshine: Beautiful Books To Put You In A Summer Mood
Photography: Daria Reina; Courtesy of Passalacqua For all the talk of AI killing creativity, there's no curbing the appetite for print—especially for design-led coffee table books. Informative and inspiring, these gorgeous tomes whisk us off to new worlds through stunning photography and immersive stories. Whether or not you're off to somewhere nice this summer, these books dedicated to the enviable Mediterranean lifestyle bring that feeling of long, lazy days and warm sunshine right to your shelf. Here are some worth reading and adding to your collection. In just three years since opening, Passalacqua is already etched in the history books as the first property to top the inaugural World's 50 Best Hotels list in 2023. Built on land originally owned by Pope Innocent XI and set in the former home of composer Vincenzo Bellini, this 24-key boutique hotel isn't short of stories to tell. The De Santis family embarked on a top-to-toe transformation that features the work of local artisans and heritage makers so much so the hotel has become a living, breathing example of la dolce vita. The real magic of this 18th century villa lies largely in its storied location in Lake Como. Overlooking the majestic lake and surrounded by terraced gardens dotted with 15 water fountains, it's not surprising that Passalacqua is the most desired stay in Italy. Like the labor of love that is their hotel, the owners worked with Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla on this beautiful book published by Assouline. Inside you'll find dreamy images, intimate stories and charming illustrations—a portal into Passalacqua and a wonderful ode to the grandeur of Lago di Como. Available exclusively on and Campania: Recipes & Wanderings Across Italy's Polychromatic Coast Courtesy of Belmond and Apartamento Due to the sheer number of food books published, they can sometimes look—and feel—the same. That can't be said for this particular Campania, which is chock-full of color, character and artistic photography. Following Liguria and Penang , this book is the third installation in Belmond and Apartamento's Recipes & Wanderings series—an exploration of food and travel around the globe. The focus is on Campania, a region described as Italy's culinary heartland, certainly high praise in a country that is incredibly serious about its food. Turn the pages and it reveals an eclectic mix of photographs by Lea Colombo, stories on local producers that craft delicious ingredients like mozzarella di bufala and Amalfi lemons, as well as essays from Elisa Carassai, Claudia Durastanti, and Margo Schachter. When you get hungry, which is inevitable, the cookbook features 21 classic dishes to replicate at home. These time-honored recipes are taken from the kitchens of Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, as well as shared by the likes of Salvatore Giuliano, part of the family behind Mimì alla Ferrovia, a historic Napolitan restaurant established by his grandfather in 1943. Available at Apartamento Magazine Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands Photography: Neige Giacalone; Courtesy of Assouline Is a sojourn across the Med ever complete without indulging in a bottle of its enticing wine? If you enjoy a glass (or two) of vino when you travel, this new addition to Assouline's Wine & Travel series is up your alley. Penned by renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo, Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands traverses the region's mythical places where wine, culture and nature meet. Through beautiful photography (including some retro shots by Slim Aarons), the book takes readers to the volcanic vineyards of Sicily, the airy corners of Corsica, as well as the hidden enclaves of Majorca. Bernardo shares his expert and personal insight into the wine hotspots in the Mediterranean, offering a closer look not only on the terroir, but also the traditions and the people that shape the wine. Of course, it's also serves as a guide to the wines one must try (and take home), which include Assyrtiko from Greece, Cannonau from Sardinia and more.

I'm eyeing these 32 best back-to-school shoe sales from Hoka, Crocs, Adidas and more
One routine I always looked forward to when returning to elementary school, high school or college was shoe shopping. Normally, I'd only pick out a stylish sneaker and a running shoe to replace the worn-out kicks I'd run down, but with today's back-to-school deals across brands like Hoka, Crocs, Nike and more, you may want to stray and snag multiple pairs. Coming from someone who covers sales and deals for a living, I curated the best back-to-school sales, so you can optimize your haul (and potentially spend leftover cash on clothing too). The German-founded brand synonymous with its three-stripe marked running shoes and sneakers is offering up to 40% off as part of its back-to-school sale. Adidas Women's Gazelle Bold Shoes Give your ensembles a bit more height with these rubber gum sole, platform street sneakers. Starting at $84, they come in vivid color combinations and neutral designs like this tan suede with maroon accents. Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 Shoes Striking a great balance of comfort and versatility, these cushy sneakers work for low-impact activities. They're discounted in men's and women's our review Adidas Women's VL Court 3.0 Shoes Closely resembling the popular Sambas, the VL Court 3.0 shoes tap into the same aesthetics but provide more cushion through the sole. My sister owns this blue pair, and I can't help but steal them from time to time. Adidas Men's Grand Court 2.0 Shoes If you prefer a more streamlined, classic shoe, it doesn't get more so than the Grand Court 2.0. They're emblazoned with the brand's iconic stripes, and they pair well with anything from jeans to shorts. In prep for the busy school season ahead, the major footwear retailer kicked off its Big-Deal Brands, offering up to 25% off New Balance, Crocs, Reebok, Hey Dude and more. Plus, if you're stocking up on multiple pairs, unlock free shipping on orders $75 and up with code FREESHIP. Reebok Women's Club C 85 Sneakers Leaning into retro aesthetics, the popular Club Cs make a great go-to white sneaker. Style them with a pair of baggy jeans to let their low profile peek out underneath. A bonus: They're marked down by $20 at DSW. Crocs Women's Dylan Clogs These platform clogs may be a little out there, but they became fast favorites among our editors. They adopt a faux leather texture that make them look more expensive than their under-$50 sale price. New Balance Men's CT300 v3 Court Sneakers While New Balance is known for their on-trend Dad sneakers, they also offer more streamlined Court sneakers that add a fun touch to 'fits.

Nike Women's Air Max Excee Shoes Inspired by the bestselling Nike Air Max 90, the Excees reinvents the classic shoe adds an elongate toe and contrasting lines on the upper. For those who may be in between sizes can choose from half sizes. Nike Women's V2K Run Shoes My sister owns these Nike sneakers, so I've gotten to see the silver accent details in person.
