Chiara Ferragni now owns 99% of her namesake brand
'Congratulations Chiara. I'm letting you know that from this moment on, you own 99% of the company behind your brand.' That was the message Chiara Ferragni shared on social media, announcing that she now controls 99% of her eponymous brand. The announcement marks a pivotal moment for Ferragni and her business empire, which has been under intense scrutiny following the 'pandoro-gate' scandal. Fenice Srl, the company that manages her brand portfolio, saw revenue collapse from €12 million to €2 million in one year. The company narrowly avoided bankruptcy after completing a €6.4 million capital increase in March. The transaction was approved by Sisterhood — Ferragni's holding company, which already owned 32.5% of Fenice — and by Alchimia, the investment firm owned by Paolo Barletta, which held 40%. Pasquale Morgese, who owned the remaining 27.5%, did not participate in the operation. In a post on Instagram, the digital entrepreneur described the moment as a fresh start. 'This is more than just shares or percentages — it's a beginning,' Ferragni wrote. 'This decision is a concrete step. It's the choice to reclaim my story, without delegating, without pretending everything is fine when it's not. It's about embracing both the responsibility and the opportunity to lead, to make decisions, and to drive change. For the first time, I feel free to move forward with my brand and my name.' She continued: 'I don't want to tell a fairytale — fairytales aren't real. But I do know I'm working to build something new, with effort, clarity, and accountability. I'm not here to present a perfect rebirth — I'm not living one myself. I'll share the real story: filled with highs and lows, imperfect, and mine. That's the only honest place to begin again.'

Leonardo's 'The Last Supper' triggers debate in Muscat
Muscat – The Italian Embassy in Muscat, in collaboration with the Scientific College of Design, marked Italian Research Day with a lecture on the conservation of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. The event, held on Monday at the college auditorium, featured architect Chiara Rostagno, Deputy Director General of the Grande Brera museums in Milan. Chiara discussed the challenges of preserving one of history's most significant artworks, describing the conservation of The Last Supper as emblematic of the broader efforts in art restoration. 'Conservation and restoration of cultural heritage is not only an Italian passion but a historic sector of collaboration between Italy and Oman,' she said. 'Leonardo's Last Supper stands as a prime example of the challenges and triumphs in this journey.' Unlike frescoes, she noted, wall paintings are fragile, making retouching difficult and often risky. 'Pollution and crowd exposure also contribute to deterioration,' she said. 'Right now, the Louvre management is in plans to revamp the entire museum for better preservation of the rare pieces.' Prior to the lecture, Angelo Crespi, Director General of Grande Brera, outlined the cultural mission of the Milan-based institution, which links the Pinacoteca di Brera, Palazzo Citterio, and the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense. The Italian Ambassador to Oman, H E Pierluigi D'Elia, said the event highlighted the strength of cultural ties between the two countries. 'This is a testament to the enduring value of Italian research and creativity, and to the strength of our cultural ties with Oman,' he said. 'Through collaboration with esteemed institutions like the Scientific College of Design, we continue to build meaningful bridges between our nations.' The event drew students, academics and professionals from the art community. Chiara also touched on Leonardo's approach to art as a scientist. 'He studied human anatomy and was always looking for souls to connect; every work of his reflects real-life emotional detail,' she said. Dr Mona Ismail, Dean of the Scientific College of Design, said, 'We are proud to collaborate with the Embassy of Italy on such a significant initiative. This lecture not only enriches our students' academic journey but also emphasises the importance of preserving cultural heritage.'

This T-shirt Costs $550. Hear Us Out.
For Jillian Simpson, 41, wedding season once meant panic-buying flouncy dresses that didn't suit her style. But last June, the New Yorker bucked convention and paired a floor-grazing black skirt with a white T-shirt from the Row for a friend's Philadelphia nuptials. 'Certain occasions used to pull me out of character—I don't even like dresses,' Simpson said. 'But a luxury T-shirt always feels totally me, whether I wear it with a black-tie skirt or jeans.' Welcome to the new era of boundary-defying power tees that boast refined fabrics, subtle details and hefty price tags. (The Row's Chiara tee, for instance, with its signature vertical back seam, rings up at $420.) These not-so-little luxuries are working hard in women's wardrobes, replacing starchy button-downs for the office and going-out tops at night.
