Attachment Tokyo Spring 2026 Collection
Like many menswear designers, Attachment's Koki Enomoto was thinking about lightness and levity in the run up to this season. How could he loosen up Attachment's uber-restrained brand of minimalism, and give it a dash of summery sprezzatura? To help, he looked at Giorgio Armani's seminal soft tailoring in the 1980s, and landed on Richard Gere's wardrobe in American Gigolo (a perennially popular menswear touchpoint) as a reference. 'It was a relaxed but formal look…the casual way of dressing in that era looked really cool,' said Enomoto at a showroom appointment in Tokyo. 'This time we wanted to express that relaxed image of a man.' He named the collection Easily. The result was a strong showing of menswear staples that felt exactly right for the moment. Reimagining 1980s suit jackets, Enomoto removed the power shoulders and linings to create silhouettes that were much softer but no less commanding. 'In a sense we're remaking it or updating it to fit with the times, especially by adding soft fabrics.' Tactile silk-cashmere sweaters were another focus, and looked as fantastic when tried on in the showroom as they did on the runway. Shout out for the colors, too: coral, amber, charcoal, sky blue, brown—everything was as soft on the eye as on the skin. Enomoto—who took over Attachment from the late designer Kazuyuki Kumagai in 2022—is skilled at putting out collections that feel on-trend but not try-hard. Take the open-toed leather sandals (crucially not flip-flops), the neckties tossed over the left shoulder, or the silky pajama shirts worn with tight black boxer shorts. In-keeping with the mood of menswear at large, these sensual flourishes show that Enomoto and his team have their finger on menswear's fast-beating pulse and, more importantly, are able to add their own flavor to it. Considering how well many of these pieces would slip into (and improve) a contemporary man's wardrobe, the collection lived up to its title. Good casting, good styling, good clothes. One of Enomoto's best yet? Easily.

Court begins scrutiny into ED chargesheet against Vadra in land deal case
NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Friday initiated proceedings in a money laundering case against businessman Robert Vadra and others, stemming from a controversial land deal in Gurugram. The matter, which was brought before Special Judge Sushant Changotra of the Rouse Avenue Court, involves a prosecution complaint recently filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). During the hearing, the court directed the record keeper (Ahalmad) to examine the voluminous charge sheet and related documents and submit a verification report. The case has now been listed for further consideration on July 24. The ED, represented by Special Public Prosecutor NK Matta, requested a short date for the court to take up the matter formally. The complaint, filed on July 17, names a total of 11 accused, both individuals and corporate entities, including Vadra, his company Sky Light Hospitality Pvt Ltd, Onkareshwar Properties Pvt Ltd, Satyanand Yajee, and Kewal Singh Virk. The genesis of the case lies in an FIR lodged by Gurugram Police, which alleged that Vadra's firm Sky Light Hospitality acquired a 3.53-acre land parcel in Shikohpur, Sector 83, Gurugram, from Onkareshwar Properties on February 12, 2008. The FIR accused the parties of executing the transaction through fraudulent means, including false declarations, and leveraging Vadra's personal clout to secure commercial licensing for the property. The ED, investigating the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), claims the land deal was a classic case of proceeds of crime being laundered through real estate investments. As part of the probe, the agency on July 16 issued a Provisional Attachment Order, seizing 43 immovable assets with an estimated value of Rs 37.64 crore. These properties, the ED alleges, are linked to Vadra and the other accused, particularly via the business operations of Sky Light Hospitality.

ED restores assets worth Rs 3.82 crore to Waqf Board
Bengaluru: In a significant move to restore the Proceeds of Crime (POC) to the rightful claimants, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Bengaluru Zonal Office, has taken a significant step by releasing properties valued at Rs 3.82 crore to the Karnataka Waqf Board in a money laundering case. The money from the Waqf Board released for fixed deposits was utilised to purchase a Mercedes-Benz car, and a further amount was transferred to a trading corporation. According to an official statement of the ED issued on Tuesday, the agency initiated an investigation on the basis of an FIR filed against two Vijaya Bank officials and Syed Siraj Ahmed, a First Division Assistant with the Waqf Board. In this case, the Waqf Board issued two cheques amounting to Rs 4,00,45,465 to open Fixed Deposit accounts at Vijaya Bank. However, instead of opening the fixed deposits, the money was siphoned off by transferring it to fictitious entities, the ED stated. Further, Rs 4 crore was transferred to M/s. Verkeys Realities Pvt Ltd, which spent Rs 1.10 crore purchasing a Mercedes car from Ghatge Motors Pvt Ltd. Further, Rs 2,72,74,444 was transferred back to the account of M/s. Ajay Sharma Trading Corporation, the ED stated. Upon uncovering these illicit financial transactions and the proper money trail of Proceeds of Crime (POC), the ED issued a Provisional Attachment Order (PAO) totalling Rs 3,82,74,444, the ED said. On March 31, 2017, ED filed a Prosecution Complaint (PC) before the Special PMLA Court in Bengaluru, against six individuals and entities, including M/s. Verkeys Realities Pvt Ltd, the statement said. In line with the PMLA and its core objective of ensuring the restitution of POC to the legitimate victims, the ED did not raise any objections when the Additional Sessions Judge considered the release of the funds to the Karnataka State Wakf Board—the rightful claimant in this case, the ED said. On July 1, 2025, in a further demonstration of its commitment to justice, ED facilitated the release of the entire amount. A banker's cheque of Rs 3,82,74,444 was handed over to Jeelani H. Mokashi, CEO (Additional Charge), of the Karnataka State Wakf Board, the ED said. This marks a significant step forward in the ED's ongoing mission to restore the misappropriated funds to those who have been wronged, the ED said. This release underscores the ED's commitment to ensuring justice for victims of financial crimes. ED remains resolute in its dedication to combating money laundering and ensuring that the Proceeds of Crime are returned to their rightful owners, the ED stated.
