MILAN — Just as the days get warmer and the weekend getaway becomes Italians' favorite activity, My Style Bags deepened its commitment to help customers pack for the occasion with its latest collaboration.

Sharing a traceable Made in Italy supply chain, a laid-back aesthetic and attention to details, the two brands developed a focused range marked by Riviera-ready stripes.
The range includes My Style Bags' signature Harvard roomy duffel bag and its matching beauty case, both crafted in a red-and-cream fabric blending linen and cotton.
In the same vein, VitoVi reinterpreted two of its bestselling designs: the Anyway single-breasted jacket that with its two buttons and big lapels is the brand's versatile go-to item; and the Very cropped style with a more contemporary flair. A striped garment bag rounds off the travel set.
Retailing with prices between 70 euros for the beauty case to 470 euros for the Anyway blazer jacket, the VitoVi x My Style Bags capsule launched Wednesday at the accessories brand's two stores in Milan and its e-commerce.
As always, an optional customization service personalizing bags with embroidered initials is offered. The service is the signature feature of My Style Bags, which was established in 2008 by Lorenza and Giuseppe Bellora along with Stefano Donadel Campbell, who aimed for an affordable label the prioritized personal messages over brand logos. Embroideries in different colors and font styles can be applied on all the brand's products, which come in canvas, suede, linen, wool and nylon.
The Milan-based accessories label has previously collaborated with companies hailing from different industries, spanning from Luisa Beccaria to outdoor clothing brand Dynamo The Good Company. Last year it released a capsule collection with Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, which followed the tie-up with Portofino Dry Gin in 2023.
That same year, famed fabric maker Vitale Barberis Canonico zeroed in on VitoVi to launch its Heritage and New Talents program spotlighting womenswear and emerging designers. The collaboration resulted in 14 takes on the blazer crafted from fabrics normally used in men's drapery.

'I Don't Understand You': Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells movie inspired by adoption fraud story from filmmakers
While Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells voice some pretty hysterical characters in Big Mouth, they're now sharing the screen in the horror-comedy I Don't Understand You (now in theatres). Written and directed by married filmmakers David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, the movie had a particularly interesting starting point. In I Don't Understand You Kroll and Rannells play a couple, Dom and Cole, who have just fallen victim to adoption fraud, but things are looking up. A pregnant woman named Candace (Amanda Seyfried) thinks they're the right fit for the family to adopt her child. But just before that happens, Dom and Cole take a romantic Italian vacation. Things take a turn when they get lost outside of Rome, trying to find a restaurant. As their stranded in an unknown location, the trip turns to bloody Italian chaos. As Craig and Crano identified, the first portion of the movie, up until the couple gets stuck going to the restaurant, is quite close to the real experience the filmmakers had. "We were adopting a child. We had been through an adoption scam, which was heartbreaking, and then had a completely different experience when we matched with the birth mother of our son," Crano told Yahoo. "But we found out that we were going to have him literally like two days before we were going on our 10th anniversary trip." "And we were like, 'Shit, should we not go?' But we decided to do it, and you're so emotionally opened up and vulnerable in that moment that it felt like a very similar experience to being in a horror movie, even though it's a joyful kind of situation." A key element of I Don't Understand You is that feeling of shock once the story turns from a romance-comedy to something much bloodier. It feels abrupt, but it's that jolt of the contrast that also makes that moment feel particularly impactful to watch. "Our sense of filmmaking is so ... based on surprise," Craig said. "As a cinephile, my main decade to go to are outlandish '90s movies, because they just take you to a different space, and as long as you have a reality to the characters that are already at hand, you can kind of take them wherever." "Personally, the situation of adoption was a constant jolt [from] one emotion to another that we felt like that was the right way to tell a story like this, which was literally, fall in love with a couple and then send them into a complete nightmare. And I think you can only get that if you do it abruptly, and kind of manically." While Rannells and Kroll have that funny and sweet chemistry the story needs, these were roles that weren't written for them. But it works because Crano and Craig know how to write in each other's voices so well, that's where a lot of the dialogue is pulled from. Additionally, the filmmakers had the "creative trust" in each other to pitch any idea, as random as it may have seemed, to see if it could work for the film. "When you're with somebody you've lived with for 15 years, there is very little that I can do that would embarrass me in front of David," Crano said. "So that level of creative freedom is very generative." "We were able to screw up in front of each other a lot without it affecting the rest of our day," Craig added. Of course, with the language barrier between the filmmakers and the Italian cast, it was a real collaboration to help make the script feel authentic for those characters. "All of the Italian actors and crew were very helpful in terms of being like, 'Well I feel like my character is from the south and wouldn't say it in this way.' And helped us build the language," Crano said. "And it was just a very trusting process, because neither of us are fluent enough to have that kind of dialectical specificity that you would in English." "It was super cool to just be watching an actor perform a scene that you've written in English that has been translated a couple of times, but you still completely understand it, just by the generosity of their performance." For Craig, he has an extensive resume of acting roles, including projects like Boy Erased and episodes of Dropout. Among the esteemed alumni of the Upright Citizens Brigade, he had a writing "itch" for a long time, and was "in awe" of Crano's work as a director. "Truthfully, in a weird way, it felt like such a far off, distant job, because everything felt really difficult, and I think with this project it just made me understand that it was just something I truly love and truly wanted to do," Craig said. "I love the idea of creative control and being in a really collaborative situation. Acting allows you to do that momentarily, but I think like every other job that you can do on a film is much longer lasting, and I think that's something I was truly seeking." For Crano, he also grew up as a theatre kid, moving on to writing plays in college. "The first time I got laughs for jokes I was like, 'Oh, this is it. Let's figure out how to do this,'" he said. "I was playwriting in London, my mom got sick in the States, so I came back, and I started writing a movie, because I was living in [Los Angeles] and I thought, well there are no playwrights in L.A., I better write a movie.'" That's when Crano found a mentor in Peter Friedlander, who's currently the head of scripted series, U.S. and Canada, at Netflix. "I had written this feature and ... we met with a bunch of directors, great directors, directors I truly admire, and they would be like, 'It should be like this.' And I'd be like, 'Yeah, that's fine, but maybe it's more like this.' And after about five of those Peter was like, 'You're going to direct it. We'll make some shorts. We'll see if you can do it.' He just sort of saw it," Crano recalled. "It's nice to be seen in any capacity for your ability, but [I started to realize] this is not so different from writing, it's just sort of writing and physical space and storytelling, and I love to do it. ... It is a very difficult job, because it requires so much money to test the theory, to even see if you can." But being able to work together on I Don't Understand You, the couple were able to learn things about and from each other through the filmmaking process. "David is lovely to everyone," Crano said. "He is much nicer than I am at a sort of base level, and makes everyone feel that they can perform at the best of their ability. And that's a really good lesson." "Brian literally doesn't take anything personally," Craig added. "Almost to a fault." "And it's very helpful in an environment where you're getting a lot of no's, to have a partner who's literally like, 'Oh, it's just no for now. Great, let's move on. Let's find somebody who's going to say yes, maybe we'll come back to that no later.' I'm the pessimist who's sitting in the corner going, 'Somebody just rejected me, I don't know what to do.' ... It just makes you move, and that's very helpful for me."

Jannik Sinner Said Model Lara Leito Isn't His Girlfriend. He's Single
Professional tennis player Jannik Sinner has explained his dating status after rumors emerged that he has a model girlfriend. Sinner gave the clarification after pictures emerged showing him walking with model Lara Leito. To be clear, he said that he's single. Sinner doesn't have a wife or a girlfriend - although he used to have the latter. Advertisement Sinner defeated tennis legend Novak Djokovic on June 6 in a thrilling semi-final match at the French Open. He now heads to the finals. In April, Sports Illustrated reported that rumors had circulated that Sinner was "now dating Lara Lieto. She is a 31-year-old Russian model who previously dated actor Adrien Brody." Although SI spelled her name Lieto, most sites give it as Leito. However, in May, Sinner told reporters that he was not dating Leito or anyone. He had a tennis pro girlfriend named Anna Kalinskaya, but they broke up, SI reported. 'There's a lot of attention,' Sinner said then, according to Tennis Up to Date. Advertisement 'Also, off the court, I was surprised to see some pictures, which, nothing serious. I'm not in a relationship," he said, according to that site, which added that Leito "was seen with Sinner at the Monte-Carlo Tennis Club." People reported that Sinner's comments came at an Italian Open press conference. According to SI, Sinner, of Italy, split with "longtime girlfriend and professional tennis player Anna Kalinskaya in late 2024." SI shared an Instagram post by the site Chi Magazine that contained photos of Sinner with a woman. The page wrote, "Sinner and the new girlfriend Lara! Who is she?" According to People, Kalinskaya is a professional tennis player from Russia. Advertisement People noted that Sinner confirmed he was dating Kalinskaya in 2024, and then they were spotted together at Wimbledon. He told Vanity Fair Italia that he tries to keep his dating life private. "I like to talk about tennis, and about the sport in general. But if you're referring to private life, it's true, I want to keep it that way. I want to protect the people who are closest to me, keeping them out of this. I live it as a small task to be carried out, almost a duty: they helped me, as a young man, to acquire security in myself, and today in some way I want to protect them," he said. "During the tournaments, I am very focused. But I think it's a beautiful thing when you find a love," he said to the publication, adding that the "best tennis players in the world all have... (a) wife and children.' Advertisement Related: Jack Draper Says Tennis Makes It Hard to Have a Girlfriend Jannik Sinner Said Model Lara Leito Isn't His Girlfriend.

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Prenup Expected to Survive Any ‘Legal Challenge'
As Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding date nears, the businessman gears up with a watertight prenup. The couple will tie the knot in Venice in a lavish three-day ceremony from June 24 to 26. However, a recent report suggested that the businessman refuses to gamble with his fortune. Prominent California lawyer Alphonse Provinziano reportedly claimed that the robust agreement is more complex than business mergers and will survive any 'legal challenge.' RadarOnline exclusively learned from Alphonse Provinziano about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's prenup weeks before their wedding. Provinziano, who regularly works alongside celebrities and wealthy A-listers, compared the complexity of the agreement to some business mergers. He claimed Bezos' intention wasn't just to devise any prenup, but one that would 'survive any legal challenge.' The lawyer further explained that certain states mandatorily require prenups to be 'conscionable.' This allows fairness to both parties and proves essential to the side with fewer resources, which is Sanchez in this instance. Provinziano made it clear that Bezos was under an obligation to maintain full disclosure with his fiancée. Additionally, he offered her facilities such as her own team of lawyers and more than enough time to review and analyze the agreement. Alphonse Provinziano disclosed more details about what Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's prenup and other documentation entail. 'For someone as rich as Bezos, that means preparing documentation of the complex accounting arrangements and business deals he's involved in,' the lawyer announced. He further elaborated that this would prevent the journalist from claiming 'that he hid certain assets from her' if things go south in their marriage. Provinziano said it has been 'a lot of work for teams of lawyers.' The couple is ramping up to say their vows in one of the most extravagant wedding ceremonies. A source aware of the preparations claimed, 'People are almost hysterical with excitement – from water taxis to the hotel concierges.' Reportedly, the nuptials will happen at a centuries-old Italian villa, with guests including the Kardashian-Jenners and other Hollywood A-listers attending.
