The Wardrobe Essential Label That Took Over My Closet
I've gone through the trial-and-error of building a wardrobe with strong foundational pieces, from testing white T-shirts to experimenting with a variety of fabrications, so trust me when I tell you: Éterne has some of the best (and most comfortable) closet essentials you can find. Founded by celebrity stylist Chloé Bartoli—whose clientele includes fashion heavyweights like Bella Hadid—Éterne was born out of a personal mission to create the kinds of pieces she could never quite find: expertly crafted, timeless staples with a luxurious finish. 'I was constantly searching for high-quality essentials that were beautifully made and perfectly tailored, and I often came up short,' Bartoli explains in an email. So, she made her own. The brand's offerings span from lightweight cotton tees to silk camisoles, ribbed tanks, French terry sets, and now a line of swimwear—all of which are designed to feel effortless yet elevated. After months of wearing and re-wearing my Éterne staples, I can confidently say: They live up to the hype. If you're not sure where to start, my number one piece is the Short-Sleeve Baby Tee, which is made with a mix of cotton and modal, so you can have a light, breathable top that feels ultra-soft on the skin. And apparently, I'm not the only one who loves it. Bartoli shares that it was one of her first pieces for the brand and remains a bestseller, along with its French terry sets. Even style stars like Hailey Bieber, Sofia Richie, and Irina Shayk have been spotted in this flattering favorite. Cotton-blend shirts and loungewear aren't the only pieces the brand offers, either. With lightweight cashmere pieces that are perfect for in-between weather (or offices with a powerful air-conditioning system) and lush silk silhouettes—including day-to-night-ready dresses and trousers—it's clear that Bartoli aims to provide you with a wardrobe you don't have to overthink. And let me tell you: As someone who's been regularly reaching for her Éterne pieces over the past few months, that's exactly what will happen. Over time, I've found that the label's designs have reigned supreme in my closet simply due to the fact that they make casual dressing feel instantly elevated. A lightweight, fitted cashmere T-shirt? Check. An ultra-soft, comfortable '90s-inspired tank? Absolutely. A ribbed-knit maxi skirt that's an easy hack for immediately looking put-together? It's all here. Éterne has mastered the art of dressing with ease. Now, with the launch of the brand's swimwear line, Bartoli's vision feels fully realized. 'Swim has always been personal for me—I spend a lot of time by the water, and I could never quite find suits that felt both cool and classic,' she says. 'I wasn't trying to chase trends; I just wanted to create swimwear that feels elevated, easy to wear, and true to my style.' When a friend told me she was searching for the perfect black bikini, this label immediately came to mind as a recommendation, which is, without a doubt, saying something. (Of course, there are other colors like white, red, sage green, and more to choose from, too.) Bottom line: If you're ready to elevate your closet staples, Éterne is the name to know.

(Image: X / AP) The terror attack in Pahalgam last month, killing 26 people, interrupted 'development and interests' of Jammu and Kashmir, said Italian Ambassador to India Antonio Bartoli on Tuesday in New Delhi. Expressing Italy's solidarity with India, Bartoli condemned the devastating Pahalgam terror attack. In an exclusive conversation with Firstpost's Bhagyasree Sengupta, Ambassador Bartoli said Italy is against all forms of terrorism and recalled how the European nation itself has faced the horrors of terrorism. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We are against any form of terrorism because we experienced in our scheme terrorism, the cruelty of terrorism, and so we actually support, first of all, we are close to the families and the Government of India for this attack,' the Italian envoy told Firstpost. Ambassador Bartoli mentioned that Italy is working closely with the Indian government and has proposed a common session to discuss how to fight terrorism. 'We have proposed to have a common session with Italy on terrorism,' he said. On April 22, terrorists infiltrated a tourist destination in Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam and killed 26 tourists, sending shockwaves across India. The attack led to a major diplomatic row between India and Pakistan after it was found that some of the terrorists involved in the attack were Pakistani nationals. During the conversation with Firstpost, the Italian envoy noted how the latest attack has interrupted the development interests of both Kashmir and India. 'This dynamic (attack) that is done to counter the interests of India in its development and the interests of Kashmir itself, which was experiencing normalisation in terms of elections, tourism and job opportunities, etc, has been interrupted,' the Italian ambassador told Firstpost. 'We think that we all should avoid encountering terrorism, avoid triggering spirals that then can go out of control,' he furthered. 'Concrete results on concrete focus': Ambassador Bartoli on India-Italy ties When asked about the evolution of the India-Italy relationship over the years, Ambassador Bartoli noted that both nations have a concrete focus on concrete results. 'The India relationship is very good because we have a strategic partnership, and we are about concrete focus on concrete results. That's why the two prime ministers met last November,' the Italian envoy told Firstpost. Bartoli pointed out that the talks in November were the fifth direct meeting between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the span of two years. 'They signed a plan of action, so homework for the two governments with precise objectives and precise areas where to develop our collaboration,' he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD When asked further about the key areas of collaboration, Ambassador Bartoli said: 'The areas are trade and investments. We want to raise the trade and investment relationship in both directions. The other areas of collaboration are in mobility, in space and defence as a priority sector,' Bartoli told Firstpost. 'We are also focusing on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), where Italy is one of the key terminals, like India. We are focusing on collaboration in science and technology. We just had a business in the Science and Technology forum to increase the relationship between our universal research and IT innovation,' he added. The Italian envoy noted that the country is planning to create an innovation sector in India to 'foster the dialogue between the innovation ecosystem'. 'We are translating all these programs into concrete actions,' he concluded. The conversation took place on the sidelines of the launch of the Global Access to Talent from India (GATI) Foundation in New Delhi. It is a non-profit Foundation dedicated to building structured, ethical, and circular pathways for global talent mobility. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

'Every woman has fear' - why risks facing female athletes remain
British tennis player Emma Raducanu hiding behind the umpire's chair after spotting a man who had "exhibited fixated behaviour" was a distressing scene. It provided a stark reminder of the dangers faced by female athletes on a regular basis. The man was detained by police following the incident at the Dubai Tennis Championships on Tuesday and given a restraining order. "When you know it can get that far, that you feel a person is so obsessed with you, that they'll find a way into your court, it's very, very stressful," former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli told BBC Radio 5 Live. BBC Sport looks at why female athletes continue to hold fears, the security measures which are in place to protect them and what more can be done to ensure they feel safer. Approximately one in five women experience stalking in their lifetime, according to the UK's Office of National Statistics. Being a well-known public personality increases exposure and a number of female tennis players have been subjected to predatory behaviour in recent years. Raducanu, 22, has previously been the victim of a stalker, with another man given a five-year restraining order in 2022 after he walked 23 miles to her home. Fellow British player Katie Boulter described to the Guardian last year how she had been followed by people in a car and on foot, while American players Danielle Collins and Sloane Stephens have also highlighted the harassment which they have faced. A man was charged last month with stalking American basketball player Caitlin Clark, while sprinter Gabby Thomas and rugby player Ilona Maher have recently spoken out about their fears. Bartoli recalled a similar harrowing experience during a match at the All England Club in 2007. Bartoli described how a man followed her throughout the British grass-court season, turning up at the Birmingham and Eastbourne events before pretending to be a member of the Wimbledon groundstaff to get nearer to her. "He found a way to purchase the same kit and get himself into my courts," she added. "I recognised him during my first-round match against Flavia Pennetta and I pointed it out straight away. "I said he was not a groundsperson, he was not working there, he was someone who has been stalking me for three weeks." Stephanie Hilborne, the chief executive of the Women in Sport charity, told BBC Sport that "every single woman has a level of fear". "That's not restricted to the more visible women - but the more visible you are, the greater that risk is and feels," she said. "In sport, we have the situation where your body is very much on show so it makes for extra risk." Raducanu was approached by the man close to the Dubai tournament site on Monday - the day between her first-round and second-round matches. The 2021 US Open champion was given a letter by the man, which sources in Dubai told BBC Sport included his name and telephone number, that she opened later in her hotel. After Raducanu told the WTA about the incident, tournament security teams were notified on Tuesday afternoon. However, the man was still able to enter the small stadium where Raducanu played Karolina Muchova later that evening. Raducanu spotted him in the front rows of the stand behind the baseline and, having become visibly upset as she told the umpire what the issue was, the man was taken out by security. Raducanu managed to regain composure and resumed the match, which she went on to lose 7-6 (8-6) 6-4. On Tuesday, having left Dubai, she said she was "doing OK" after the "difficult circumstances". Mhairi Maclennan, a British long distance runner who is the co-founder of Kyniska Advocacy, which supports women and victims of abuse in sport, believes players in Raducanu's situation should leave court for an emotional welfare assessment. "Speaking from my own experience, the psychological and emotional impact of something like that happening during a competition can completely derail you," Maclennan told BBC Radio 5 Live. "What I would have liked to have seen in this instance, and others where an athlete has been visibly shaken, is that they pause the competition where possible. "In a tennis match, make sure she is able to go and see somebody. "I'm not saying the result would have been different had she been able to come back later but it is about offering her a choice." According to the WTA, players are escorted to and from the match court by at least one security officer. Enhanced security is provided if a player has been the target of a credible threat. The WTA says extra security was given to Raducanu after her concerns were raised. Tournament sources insist "efforts" were made to identify the man before Raducanu's match. However, questions remain about how he was allowed to enter the stadium. Hilborne believes it is "deeply, deeply disturbing" the man was able to get so close to Raducanu. "I'm not sure what happened to the security in this instance but if an athlete has already reported someone, there should be absolutely no chance that very person can turn up in that very circumstance," she said. "You would hope the seriousness of this situation, where a woman reports someone for that type of behaviour, means there is no chance of them getting through security." The WTA says player welfare and safety is a top priority, adding that safeguarding is "an area in which we remain ever vigilant". The governing body points to the "significant commitments" it has made to education and training, as well as increasing staff and resources in safeguarding. "Our approach recognises that effective safeguarding is multifaceted and strongest when everyone involved in the game is invested and held to the same standards," the WTA said. A key concern for both Women in Sport and Kyniska Advocacy is the effect caused by elite female athletes being used as marketing tools to push the growth of women's sports. "We need to stop inadvertently overexposing elite female athletes," said Hilborne. "It is concerning is how much they are pushed to expose their personal lives through social media and are expected to put themselves at greater risk in order to generate more income for the sport. "We need to be selling the skills and jeopardy of the game, rather than the individual lives." Anti-misogyny policies, introduced as a condition of funding being given to sports, should also be mandatory, according to Women in Sport. It has demanded social media accounts spreading misogynistic messages to be deactivated and reiterated its call for an independent sporting regulator to handle reports of misogyny. Hilborne also wants men to "stand up with women to address the system". "When you get a brilliant tennis player like Emma who you want to celebrate, you don't want to deal with these negative aspects - you want to celebrate their play and the story of the sport," said Hilborne. "But when this does happen, we're reminded there has not been enough action. It is unacceptable." Live scores, results and order of play Get tennis news sent straight to your phone
