Mans Spain Fall 2025 Collection
As Jaime Álvarez puts it, sometimes you have to step away to reconnect. After nearly a year's absence, the creative director of Mans has returned to the Madrid runway with a fall 2025 collection where fabric is at the core. His vision was to strike a balance between simplicity and complexity, a goal he achieved by approaching his menswear and womenswear separately. 'In previous seasons, we adapted men's patterns to women, but this year we've created a women's pattern from scratch, 100% for them, which is what our customers have been asking for,' said the Seville-born designer.
As for the suits, a Mans signature, the collars were now hand-stitched to the lapels for a more streamlined effect. These sartorial touches coexisted with shirts and pencil skirts, reinterpreted through frills and pleats, dyed in different shades of yellow and pink, and in rich pairings like aubergine and navy blue. The materials also embraced contrasts: 'I wanted to blend the brutalism of cool wool, typically used in tailoring, with delicate fabrics like organza and chiffon,' Álvarez revealed. Sheer dresses also posed a challenge, he shared, particularly because of the tailoring complexities they usually demand at the atelier. This attention to detail is the basis for the slow but steady growth of the brand, now seeking to reach new audiences: 'For the past year, we've noticed an influx of customers from Latin American countries who are opting for high-quality Spanish design,' he stated.

Real Madrid Shortlists This Striker As Latest Signing
Real Madrid is interested in signing a veteran striker and has already shortlisted a La Liga star in that respect according to Mundo Deportivo, which cited anonymous sources. Because of newfound domestic dominance from bitter rival FC Barcelona, and being outclassed by Arsenal on the continent in the Champions League quarterfinals, Madrid finished this season without major silverware. Its 2023/2024 campaign under the since departed Carlo Ancelotti was a different story, however, with Los Blancos enjoying a European Cup, La Liga and Super Cup treble. One of the unexpected heroes of that immortal campaign of course, however, was Joselu. Coming off the bench to sink Bayern Munich in a dramatic UCL semifinal second leg at the Bernabeu, he then fled to Qatar for what should be one last big career day in his mid-30s. Though Kylian Mbappe did a fine job in a new role as a central number 9, winning Europe's Golden Boot in the process, perhaps one of the reasons for coming up short last time round was the lack of a veteran marksman who could come off the bench and score a much-needed goal. Under Xabi Alonso in 2025/2026, Madrid seeks to provide the legendary midfielder with such an option by pursuing Ante Budimir according to Mundo Deportivo. Scoring 24 goals and providing four assists as Osasuna finished ninth and only just missed out on European qualification to Rayo Vallecano, Budimir turns 34 on July 22 and can be picked up for a cut fee. That's around $9 million (€8 million) if his next stop is elsewhere in Spain, with another couple of million euros slapped on to the price if a potential suitor is located elsewhere. If Budimir could be bought and scores the important goals to land titles like Joselu did, his transfer would pretty much end up paying for itself. Though Kylian Mbappe will likely remain Xabi Alonso's first choice for the striker's position, bringing in Budimir would obviously give the ex-Leverkusen tactician further options up front. Essentially, the potential new acquisition would battle for leftover minutes with Endrick, who enjoyed little prominence on Ancelotti's watch at Real Madrid but could now be reunited with him on international duty for Brazil.

"Discurso de Promoción", a collective work by the iconic group Yuyachkani, directed by Miguel Rubio, addressing themes of memory and identity. "La Mariscala", co-directed by Mateo Chiarella and Lucho Tuesta, focusing on the historical figure Francisca Zubiaga de Gamarra.

Pair of rare royal pistols to be sold at auction
A pair of rare pistols from the private collection of an 18th Century prince are to be sold at auction later. The guns were owned by Prince Augustus Frederick, the first Duke of Sussex, the sixth son of King George III. They were made in the 1790s by the esteemed Spanish gunsmith Francisco Targarona and are believed to have been given to the prince as a diplomatic gift. The pair are estimated to fetch between £20,000 and £30,000 at a special sale of medals and coins, arms and armour at Woolley & Wallis, in Salisbury. The duke was well liked and noted for championing societal freedom and reform. He was also known for his large weapons collection, which was put up for auction on his death in 1843, including the pistols. The guns are Spanish 22 bore convertible 'Madrid' lock pistols, which date from about 1795. They are highly decorative, with geometric and floral accents, and can be fitted together to create a short, single gun. They are housed in a fitted mahogany case with velvet lining. On the outside, the case has an oval silver plate on its lid engraved "Purchased at the sale of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, 1845". Ned Cowell, head of arms and armour at Woolley & Wallis, said the selling the guns was a privilege. "We are honoured to be offering such an outstanding pair of pistols by such a distinguished gunmaker and with such a historic background," he added. Other items in the sale include a selection of military medals, rare coins, swords, cannons and a coronation robe worn in 1937 and in 1953. Follow BBC Wiltshire on Facebook, X and Instagram.
