Meet The New Look Milanese Home Of Louis Vuitton
The reopening of Louis Vuitton's iconic Milan store unveils a new cultural destination, bringing with it high- level gastronomy and an entire floor dedicated to its Home Collections
From Fashion Week to Teatro alla Scala and the cobbled streets that lead to Via Montenapoleone and the Duomo, Milan is always a good idea. But with the reopening of Louis Vuitton's historic Via Montenapoleone 2 destination, a summer escape is even more alluring.
Following three years of restoration work on Palazzo Taverna, including the store that has undergone something of an architectural revolution, the location has become a cornerstone of culture, design and gastronomy. The renovations pay tribute to the city of Milan, Milanese tradition and the architecture of Lombardy, with each detail expressing the decades-old ties between Louis Vuitton and Italy.
The architectural work was undertaken by the legendary Peter Marino, who has nearly doubled the floor area. Elegance resides in the details and in the materials used: all the carpentry was done locally, while the stone – of which there are 15 different varieties – was cut in workshops in Lombardy. Contemporary art is everywhere, from the central atrium to the staircase, and furniture comprises Italianate pieces each an emblem of modern design.
Beyond the aesthetics, the Louis Vuitton Home Collections has a dedicated space on the second floor, featuring its five lines, including the new Signature Collection, just launched at Milan Design Week. But, perhaps the biggest draw of all is the gastronomy. The space welcomes Da Vittorio Café Louis Vuitton, designed as a beautiful jardin d'hiver, which opens alongside DaV by Da Vittorio Louis Vuitton – the first restaurant concept in Italy for the Maison. Serving only Italian dishes, from antipasti to osso bucco, the Louis Vuitton Monogram present across many dishes assures that you've come to the right place.

US actor Kim Novak to receive Venice film festival career award
Kim Novak, a Hollywood diva from the 1950s and 1960s who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, will be honoured with a lifetime achievement award at this year's Venice Film Festival, organisers said on Monday. Best known for her starring role in the 1958 psychological thriller, Novak also held notable roles in classics such as Kiss Me, Stupid by Billy Wilder, as well as Picnic and The Man with the Golden Arm. The 92-year-old actor will be given the so-called Golden Lion for "inadvertently becoming a screen legend", the festival's Artistic Director Alberto Barbera said in a statement. "Kim Novak was one of the most beloved icons of an entire era of Hollywood films, from her auspicious debut during the mid-1950s until her premature and voluntary exile from the gilded cage of Los Angeles a short while later," Barbera said, calling her independent and nonconformist. The documentary Kim Novak's Vertigo by Swiss-American film director Alexandre Philippe, made in cooperation with the actor, will be premiered at the festival to accompany the award, organizers said. "I am deeply, deeply touched to receive the prestigious Golden Lion Award from such an enormously respected film festival. To be recognised for my body of work at this time in my life is a dream come true," Novak said in the statement. The 82nd edition of the Venice Film Festival will run from August 27 to September 6, 2025. Werner Herzog, the veteran German director of "Fitzcarraldo", will also receive a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement this year. The line-up of films in competition is due to be revealed in July.

Who is Khaby Lame? World-famous TikToker detained by ICE in the US
US immigration agents detained and later allowed the "voluntary departure" of the world's most-followed TikToker, Khaby Lame, after he "overstayed" his visa, authorities said Saturday. "US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Seringe Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, June 6, at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada for immigration violations," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Lame entered the United States on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," the statement said of the Friday detention, adding that he was released the same day. The Italian national, who is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and has a following of more than 162 million on TikTok, "has since departed the US". Lame had not immediately posted publicly about the incident as of Saturday afternoon. Since taking power in January, US President Donald Trump has delivered on campaign promises to tighten immigration controls and carry out a mass deportation drive — aspects of which have been challenged in US courts. Lame holds top spot on the wildly popular TikTok social media app, with 162.2 million followers and has risen to fame for his short silent videos mocking the convoluted tutorials and tips that abound on the internet. He punctuates his videos with a trademark gesture — palms turned towards the sky, accompanied by a knowing smile and wide eyes — as he offers his own simple remedies. The idea for his content came to him while wandering around the housing project where his family lived in Chivasso, near Turin, after losing his factory mechanic's job in March 2020. His posts took off — helping him gross an estimated $16.5 million through marketing deals with companies in the period between June 2022 and September 2023, according to Forbes.
