Loro Piana's Resort 2025 pop-up brings the essence of Venice to Singapore Vogue Singapore
If summer had a wardrobe, it would look like Loro Piana's Resort 2025 collection—ethereal, sunlit, and saturated with the dreamy cadence of Venetian life. Inspired by the serenity of the Venetian lagoon—its kaleidoscopic facades and that languid, golden-hour glow—this collection speaks in linen, cotton, and silk: a trifecta crafted for warmth without sacrificing luxury.
Standout pieces include the Annet top and Peter trousers in silk, their surface awash in the soft blue Cardo Veneziano print—an abstract floral that shimmers like sea foam in the sun. The trousers come high-waisted with a relaxed, pajama-like drape, softly pooling at the ankles with a generous hem. Pair them with soft leather sandals and a raffia bucket hat for a resort-ready ensemble, or cinch the top with a thin belt and swap in espadrilles for a casual brunch.

There's also the Carolina dress in Antigua linen, a pristine sleeveless number with an A-line flare and a cheeky belt with leather tips. The fabric holds structure while remaining effortlessly flowy, and the length hits just right for that fresh-summer-dress effect. Pair it with the Augustin wide-legged trousers, also made from Antigua, for a striking yet relaxed look. Leave the belt loose for a laidback silhouette, or tuck it slightly at the waist for a sculpted layering moment.
Accessories round out the range, with a bevy of scene-stealers. The Aperitivo Extra Clutch and Laguna Shoppers return in the brand's signature Suitcase Stripe motif, each carryall a fusion of form and function. The clutch adds a pop of colour to the neutrals-heavy silhouettes, while the shopper is roomy enough for beach books, essentials, and everything in between. The Bobbin bucket bag—crafted from woven wicker with an outré wink—deserves a second glance, too. Equal parts playful and practical, it's a piece destined to trickle into the summer zeitgeist, evoking gelato runs and salt-swept boardwalks with every swing of the handle.

Menswear finds its stride with tailored bermudas in sandy tones that pair seamlessly with open-collar linen shirts, embroidered with tonal topstitching. The fabrics feel cool against the skin, ideal for high temperatures while still maintaining that quiet sense of refinement. Meanwhile, the linen-silk blend overshirts—cut loose with dropped shoulders and horn buttons—offer versatile layering options. Wear them over a tee for a lunch date, or buttoned-up with pleated trousers and leather loafers for evening dinners. The collection nods to Riviera classics with a quiet luxury sensibility.

Now through 18 May, the Italian house hosts a pop-up at ION Orchard, offering a taste of la dolce vita in the heart of Singapore. The space channels the air of the Venetian lagoon with flowing drapery, lush fabrics, and an installation that transports you across oceans and time zones.
Ultimately, Loro Piana's Resort 2025 collection is a sartorial postcard from Venice—its magic folded into everyday life. It carries not only the essence of summer but also the quiet dreaminess of a distant Italian afternoon. Carry a piece of that eternal summer with you, and let it linger in your wardrobe this season.
The collection is available at the Loro Piana Resort 2025 Pop-Up at ION Orchard's level 1 Atrium, running until 18 May, as well as at select Loro Piana boutiques and on their website.

US vetoes UN resolution demanding immediate Gaza ceasefire
The United States vetoed a United Nations (UN) Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Gaza Strip , the release of all hostages and the resumption of full-scale humanitarian aid deliveries to the enclave on Wednesday. Ten non-permanent members of the 15-seat council had put forth the resolution for a vote. It was the first time since president Donald Trump took office that the council had considered a ceasefire resolution on the Israel -Hamas war in Gaza. The US was the only member to vote against the measure; the other 14 members of the council, including Russia, voted in favour, highlighting Washington's isolation on the global stage over its policy of unconditional support of Israel. 'We believe this text reflects the consensus shared by all council members that the war in Gaza has to come to an immediate halt, all hostages must be immediately and unconditionally released, and civilians in Gaza must not starve and must have full and unimpeded access to aid,' said a joint statement from the 10 non-permanent members, which was read by Slovenia's ambassador to the UN, Samuel Zbogar, at the council meeting before the vote. READ MORE [ Gaza aid group halts distribution due to civilian safety concerns after dozens killed seeking aid Opens in new window ] To be adopted, Security Council resolution must receive nine votes in favour and no vetoes from the five permanent members: Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. Since the war broke out after the October 7th, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel, the US has vetoed four council resolutions calling for a ceasefire and has abstained from one, allowing it to pass, last June. Dorothy Camille Shea, the interim US representative at the UN, repeated Washington's message that Israel had the right to defend itself. She blamed Hamas for the suffering of Palestinians, saying the war would end if the group surrendered. 'Any product that undermines our close ally Israel's security is a non-starter,' Ms Shea said, explaining the 'no' vote. Diplomats at the UN have watched in fury and frustration as the humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated to levels where children are starving. Since March, Israel had enforced a ban on all aid delivery into the territory, facing global backlash and accusations that its army was committing war crimes by weaponising food and essential aid. Israel justified blocking aid deliveries by claiming that Hamas hijacks them and has denied international assessments that Palestinians are on the brink of famine. [ Liam Cunningham says Government is 'siding with warmongers' as he endorses Irish neutrality campaign Opens in new window ] Council members have also been frustrated at the United States for blocking the body from acting in a deadly war that has killed more than 56,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, said Gaza officials, whose numbers do not distinguish between combatants and civilians. Unicef said this week that 50,000 children had been killed or injured in Gaza since the war began. The council members say, publicly and privately, that the United States is standing in the way of the will of the majority of the member states at the UN 'Today, the elected members of the council have stood with clarity, with conviction, with courage – they are the proud bearer of moral legitimacy,' said Algeria's ambassador to the UN, Amar Bendjama, the only Arab representative in the council. He said the resolution was not 'the voice of the few, but the collective will of the entire world '. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, told reporters before the council meeting Wednesday that the resolution 'doesn't advance humanitarian relief – it undermines it.' He said , 'It ignores a working system in favour of political agendas.' A new US-Israeli backed effort to control and distribute limited aid in Gaza through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was suspended Wednesday, after a week of chaos and deadly violence. Gaza officials said that on June 1st, Israeli soldiers shot and killed more than 20 Palestinians standing in line to receive aid. The Israeli military said its troops had fired warning shots toward 'suspects' who approached them. On Tuesday, at least 27 people were killed as Palestinians walked toward a new food distribution site in southern Gaza, Gaza health officials said. Israel said its forces had fired near 'a few' people who had strayed from the route to the site and did not respond to warning shots. The UN has called for an independent investigation into the killings and has denounced this aid-distribution effort, saying that it violates international laws protecting the unhindered flow of aid and access for aid agencies in conflict zones. 'The world is watching, day after day, horrifying scenes of Palestinians being shot, wounded or killed in Gaza while simply trying to eat,' the UN's top humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, said on Wednesday. 'We must be allowed to do our jobs. We have the teams, the plan, the supplies and the experience.' The Trump administration has been trying without success to mediate a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This week, Hamas – which has said it is willing to free the Israeli and foreign captives in Gaza as part of a broader deal – rejected the American plan, demanding guarantees for a permanent end to the war. – This article originally appeared in The New York Times . 2025 The New York Times Company

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a new tag fighting game from the devs of Guilty Gear
"Avengers assemble" isn't just a call to action for superheroes; it's also the basis for a new tag fighting game. The reveal of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls closed out PlayStation's State of Play presentation ahead of Summer Games Fest 2025. PlayStation Studios and Marvel Games are teaming up with Arc System Works, the studio behind the Guilty Gear fighting game series, for this project. The game is scheduled to launch some time in 2026 on PlayStation 5 and on PC through the Steam and Epic stores. The trailer shows several members of the Marvel roster — Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Storm, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord and Ghost Rider — cycling on screen and showing off their abilities. Team-based fighting games have a long lineage, but those are commonly trios of characters controlled by a single competitor. Marvel Tōkon ups the ante with a 4v4 team system. The additional team member creates even more potential for flashy combination attacks. "One of the appeals of Marvel comics is seeing the vast cast of characters coming together to create all kinds of unique team-ups," Game Director and Lead Battle Designer Kazuto Sekine said of the design choice. "With these two ideas in mind, we concluded that creating a 4v4 team VS system would be the best way to not only create those over-the-top moments, but to further evolve the tag fighting genre." Marvel is having a bit of a moment in gaming, with the team shooter Marvel Rivals becoming a surprise sensation in recent months despite heavy competition from established titles. (Unfortunately, that success didn't save several members of the North American dev team from being laid off in February.) It should be fascinating to compare how the two genres interpret the iconic characters and their powers.

Montreal police arrest 13 suspected of extorting restaurant owners for money
Montreal police say they've arrested 13 people suspected of using violence and intimidation to extort money from restaurateurs. The three main suspects arrested Wednesday, men aged 25, 34, and 39, are believed to be connected to a series of extortion crimes targeting the owners of two restaurants in the Ville-Marie borough and their associates, according to a news release by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM). In addition to the three main suspects, the other individuals arrested are eight men and two women, aged 28 to 44. Some of the 13 suspects arrested will appear in court within the next 24 hours. The others will be released on a promise to appear, with strict conditions to follow. The two restaurants targeted belong to the same owners. These alleged crimes include one in February where a restaurant's glass facade was shot on Ste-Catherine Street West, near De Bleury Street. Another restaurant owned by the victims was also targeted, as was the residence of one of the co-owners, the SPVM says. Along with the arrests, 15 search warrants were executed in Montreal, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Châteauguay and Laval. A total of 150 officers participated. The SPVM investigation found two independent cells that allegedly attempted to extort the same restaurateurs, police say. Members of these cells are also involved in other criminal activities, such as drug trafficking, the SPVM says. The searches conducted Wednesday resulted in the seizure of three firearms, half a kilogram of cocaine, half a kilogram of crystal methamphetamine, thousands of speed pills and nearly $120,000 in cash. "Today's operation demonstrates that when acts of intimidation against business owners are brought to our attention, the SPVM is able to deliver effective blows against the responsible criminals," said SPVM Cmdr. Pierre-Marc Houle in the news release. "We have other ongoing investigations concerning similar incidents, and we are confident they will lead to additional arrests." Dominique Tremblay, a spokeswoman for the Quebec restaurateurs association, said her organization has been collaborating with the SPVM and sending information to members about the situation — asking them to come forward if they hear anything or face extortion themselves. "If they see something, hear something around them, it's important to communicate with police, give them the information so they can act," she said. She said it is stressful for bar and restaurant owners who go through this, and sometimes they don't come forward about the extortion out of fear. Luc Rabouin, mayor of the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough and chair of the city's executive committee, said his administration knew the investigation was underway, but wasn't given exact details. "There's no place for these crimes here in Montreal," said Rabouin, who was chosen to replace Mayor Valérie Plante as leader of Projet Montréal. "And we will not tolerate anything like that right now and in the future." Extortion not a new problem Back in October 2024, Montreal police Chief Fady Dagher urged merchants and parents to work with police to help curb the increasing involvement of young teenagers in organized crime and a surge in extortion of downtown businesses. This followed several suspected extortion attempts that are believed to be behind a spate of firebombings. A that time, Francis Renaud, head of the Montreal police organized crime unit, told reporters that about 40 attempted extortion cases have come across his desk since the summer, primarily in the downtown area. He said all kinds of business are being targeted, including clean ones and those tied to organized crime. Two years ago, in April 2023, a restaurant in Laval, Que., closed as a result of repeated firebombings and an extortion attempt. The vandalism, which started happening after the restaurant refused to pay when a stranger offered it "protection," led to its insurance being revoked, Kevin Al-Sabek, the son of one the owners, said in an interview at the time. Al-Sabek said the restaurant did manage to secure another insurer, but that happened past the landlord's deadline, voiding their lease agreement and forcing them to close. He decided not to change locations over fears the extortion would follow him to the new location. Al-Sabek's closure came just a month after Montreal police arrested 19 people in connection to dozens of cases of violence and intimidation targeting local businesses.
