Berluti Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Stepping forward, said Berluti CEO Jean-Marc Mansvelt this morning, the focus at these Berluti presentations is: 'to do less things, but to really cultivate season after season what for us are the most important.' And at Berluti, of course, it is shoes that are the most important category of all.
To underline this, the first room in today's presentation was dominated by a giant reproduction of a marble foot surrounded by fittings sketches. As light as that foot looked heavy was the new Far Niente, a square-nosed suede slipper shoe with gommino soles that looked like the hybrid of a driving shoe and 19th century soccer boot. There was a room dedicated to the slip-on Shadow sneaker, Berluti's best-seller, that highlighted a new grippier sole construction and four new formulations of knitted upper, including cashmere and linen, each of which was designed for different functionalities. Other footwear emphases included handsome new versions of the angled-toe Stellar sneaker and a supple new version of the Alessandro oxford.
Bags are the second core category at Berluti. New proposals today included a paperback sized sundries bag named the Jour de Poche that was available in multiple varieties of the company's signature high patina leather.
Berluti has rather turned its heel on clothing in order to focus on the entirely rational strategy laid out by Mansvelt. The exceptions to that, however, are in outerwear: today there were fresh versions of the Forestiere (whose beautiful history was laid out in last season's review) in zestily toned silk-lined linen and what felt like a cashmere-shot shades-of-gray tweed. There were also blousons and a short parka in painstakingly l'aquarelle shadowed leather.

Learning a new language is a goal for many folks. It can help you communicate with more people and even help if you're traveling internationally.

World leaders flock to meet with Trump at NATO Summit
President Donald Trump took part in a flurry of greetings with world leaders eager to get face time with the U.S. president during his brief stint at the NATO Summit. Upon arriving, the president was welcomed by Dutch royals — King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima, and their daughter Crown Princess Amalia. He became the first president to stay at the king's palace, Huis ten Bosch Palace. "I had breakfast with the king and queen this morning — beautiful people," Trump said. "I slept beautifully." He participated in photo ops with world leaders from across the political spectrum — friend and foe alike — and received fawning praise from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who likened him to the father of the alliance. "Daddy has to sometimes use strong language," Rutte said in defense of Trump's expletive-laden criticism of Israel and Iran for threatening the ceasefire he negotiated. The president was riding high amid warming relations with the alliance he previously threatened to pull out of. After months of combativeness with Europe over defense spending and liberal policies, Trump praised the alliance for agreeing to his demand to raise its defense spending target to 5% of GDP. "Believe it or not, allies have increased spending by $700 billion," Trump said in a news conference. "This week, the NATO allies committed to dramatically increase their defense spending to that 5% of GDP, something that no one really thought possible." Even Spain — the only nation not to agree to commit 5% to defense — got a relatively mild drubbing from the president. "I like Spain. I have so many people from Spain. It's a great place, and they're great people. But Spain is … the only country out of all of the countries that refuses to pay. And, you know, so they want a little bit of a free ride," he said. It was certainly a different tone from Vice President JD Vance's address at the Munich Security Conference. "The threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia. It's not China. It's not any other external actor," Vance said at the time. "What I worry about is the threat from within the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America."

Europeans angry with Musk still aren't buying his cars as Tesla sales drop for fifth month in a row
NEW YORK — Europeans still aren't buying Teslas with figures out Wednesday showing sales plunged for a fifth month in a row in May, a blow to investors who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now. Tesla sales fell 28% last month in 30 European countries even as the overall market for electric vehicles expanded sharply, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. The poor showing comes after Tesla's billionaire CEO had promised a 'major rebound' was coming last month, adding to a recent buying frenzy among investors.
