Pharrell visits English country garden in Louis Vuitton men Spring 2026 pre-collection
Tally ho chaps! Louis Vuitton men takes a jaunt around an English country garden, a surprise twist in the house's Spring/Summer 2026 pre-collection, the first images of which were released Friday. It's a first retreat into rural England by Louis Vuitton's American-born men's creative director Pharrell Williams, blending sartorial coats, urban dandyism and countryside classics in a novel departure. 'Through this chemistry, the genetics of the enduring country dandy splice with those of the contemporary city dandy in expressions accelerated by the Parisian savoir-faire of the house,' noted the Paris-based house in a communiqué. The looks come a little more than three weeks before Pharrell will stage his fourth collection for Louis Vuitton, scheduled for the opening evening of Tuesday, June 24 - the first day of Paris' menswear catwalk season, due to run to Sunday, June 29. This new pre-collection is divided into two halves: the great garden outdoors, contrasted by good times inside a storied country house. On the outside super monogram suede jerkins or blousons, and white hiking socks in Damier print, worn with hiking boots or thick-soled hiking loafers. For evening, stand outs feature heraldic print silk shirts; a purple Prince of Wales track pant and top; and country squire micro-check blazers worn with crepe wool shorts. Instead of LV's signature burnt umber and light beige, many bags come in hunter green and faded gold. WASPS, as Gordon Gekko drily noted, love animals but cannot stand people. And that Anglo love of animals is seen in a monogram dog carriers; dog collars; ceramic water bowls; dog jackets and even a monogram bag made as large as a life-sized pointer. 'The fusion materializes in the cultural exchange of wardrobe genres driven by the LVERS ideology that drives the studio prêt-à-porter homme: the mindset of a diverse global community bound together by the creativity, quality and discernment symbolized in the iconography of Louis Vuitton,' concluded Vuitton. Think Gosford Park for 21st century groovers.

Pope Leo calls for ceasefire in Gaza, laments 'cries' of parents of dead children
Pope Leo called for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages in a May 28 general audience, following in the steps of his predecessor Pope Francis, who was both praised and criticized for using his position to advocate for ending the war in Gaza. "In the Gaza Strip, the intense cries are reaching Heaven more and more from mothers and fathers who hold tightly to the bodies of their dead children," Leo said in St. Peter's Square, in Vatican City. "To those responsible, I renew my appeal: stop the fighting. Liberate all the hostages. Completely respect humanitarian law." More: Chaos and criticism for Trump-backed Gaza aid plan as 47 are injured Leo assumed the papacy earlier this month after he was chosen in a closely followed papal conclave following Francis' death on April 21. It was not the first time Leo has spoken out on international conflicts. In his first Sunday message, he urged "no more war," a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages as well as an "authentic and lasting peace" in Ukraine. On May 21, he addressed the crisis in Gaza during a weekly Sunday audience, advocating "an end the hostilities," and asking Israel to allow humanitarian aid into the war-torn and impoverished enclave. Israel has since lifted its blockade, allowing a trickle of humanitarian aid back into Gaza. Leo's May 18 inauguration kicked off swirling speculation about whether he would promote social justice and immigrant rights, as Francis had. Leo, a Chicago native, is the first American-born pope, although he lived for much of his adult life in Peru. Some of Leo's past social media posts criticized Vice President JD Vance, who is Catholic, and the Trump administration for its hardline immigration policies. Leo met privately with Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and their wives, the Vatican announced on May 19. Israel launched its siege of Gaza after militants affiliated with Hamas − which controls the territory on the border of Israel and Egypt − overran Israel's borders on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostage. Since then, more than 54,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's attacks, according to Hamas-run local health authorities. A ceasefire brokered in mid-January was shattered after two months. The Trump administration's direct talks with Hamas in Qatar since then have failed to clinch a new agreement. At least 54 Palestinians sheltering in a school were killed by Israel's airstrikes on May 26. Pope Francis repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza, reiterating in an Easter Sunday message a day before he died, "I appeal to the warring parties: call a ceasefire, release the hostages and come to the aid of a starving people that aspires to a future of peace." Some of his comments directly criticized Israel for the toll on Palestinian civilians. In a January message, he called the situation "very serious and shameful," adding, "We cannot in any way accept the bombing of civilians." More: Pope Leo appeals for Israel to allow humanitarian aid in Gaza Throughout the conflict, Francis kept in close contact with Gaza's small Catholic community, even holding nightly calls with the majority-Muslim enclave's churches in the weeks leading up to his death.
