Louis Vuitton unveils its sweetest summer soirée at Forte dei Marmi
As the summer sun warms the Tuscan coast, Louis Vuitton unveils a charming new retreat in Versilia—a seasonal ice cream shop that blends indulgence with effortless elegance. Situated just steps from the Maison's boutique in Forte dei Marmi, this delightful kiosk invites visitors to savor a refined pause amid their seaside adventures. Open daily from June through September, the gelateria at Via G. Carducci 2 becomes a sweet sanctuary, perfectly positioned near the vibrant market square and the glistening shoreline. Designed to harmonize with the town's coastal charm, the kiosk mirrors the temporary elegance of Forte dei Marmi's urban aesthetic. Its soft green hue—a signature of the resort—echoes the nostalgic allure of traditional Italian summers, while Monogram flowers add a touch of the maison's timeless sophistication. Greeting guests with playful charm is Vivienne, the Maison's beloved mascot, setting the tone for an experience where creativity and craftsmanship meet. Every element has been thoughtfully curated, from the bespoke packaging to the delicate floral-shaped wafers that adorn each serving. The collaboration with Galliano, a treasured local gelateria, ensures an exquisite selection of flavors. Alongside ten classic varieties crafted with premium ingredients, two signature creations capture the spirit of Louis Vuitton: Vivienne, a creamy Portuguese milk gelato swirled with mandarin, and Gaston, a Tuscan-inspired zuccotto with sponge cake, crunchy bites, and dark chocolate. Whether enjoyed on a leisurely stroll past chic boutiques or taken home in an elegantly designed tub, each scoop offers a taste of the Maison's art de vivre—a seamless blend of luxury, tradition, and imagination. With this enchanting addition, Forte dei Marmi welcomes a new summer essential, where style and flavor unite under the Italian sun. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Supplied

John Galliano's Reimaging of Ancient Egypt for Dior's SS04 Collection
John Galliano's Reimaging of Ancient Egypt for Dior's SS04 Collection On a January Parisian day in 2004, the Seine was frozen, but inside the Dior tent, John Galliano was on fire - as per. What erupted on the runway wasn't so much a fashion show as a fever-dream: an opulent, maximalist séance with the ghosts of Ancient Egypt, reanimated through Galliano's unhinged yet hypnotic imagination. Glitter and gold and a runway drenched in the shimmering illusion of pharaonic power, stretched through a distinctly early-millennium lens. It was decadent, disorienting, and gloriously impractical. This was not fashion for us mere mortals. This was Galliano in full spectacle mode: less designer, more high priest of pageantry. For centuries, Egypt has been the west's mirror of excess and enigma, a sumptuous lens for their hedonism. Think Shakespeare's Cleopatra, reclining in poetic ruin; or Frank Ocean's millennial siren collapsing under the weight of her own mythology. Galliano understood this allure implicitly. When he took an aerial tour of Egypt and he gazed down, he envisioned a catwalk etched into the sand, a mirage where couture replaced civilisation, and a haute couture mirage rising from the dust and ashes of one of the greatest civilisations of human history. The show opened with the surreal kind of theatricality that only Galliano could conjure. Traditional Egyptian music gave way to Beyoncé's Baby Boy, a sonic pivot that said everything: time is irrelevant, genre is a joke, and this is going to be fun. Like Frank Ocean's Pyramids eight years later, Galliano melted millennia into minutes. History wasn't just referenced. It was remixed. Then came the collection. Like fashion's theatrical messiah, Galliano conjured a court of walking goddesses: towering models encased in metallic peplum jackets and sarcophagus-tight skirts, dizzyingly high heels and two-foot-tall hair sculptures, their hips jutted forward, and backs arched in homage to the Penn and Avedon portraits that informed this grand pharaonic hallucination. The Bangles' Walk Like an Egyptian thudded in the background, as if to wink and say, yes, we know exactly what we're doing. Erin O'Connor opened the show swathed in a Nefertiti-inspired headdress and a ribbed, hourglass sheath in striped molten gold fabric, cinched and flared into an origami explosion of sculptural folds around the hips and arms. Every look that followed was another monument: scarab-encrusted corsets, lotus-embroidered gowns framed by leopard print fur stoles. One model looked like a walking pyramid, her skirt plumed in feathers. Another wore a ballooning mirror-panelled dress like a disco meet deity. It was gaudy and it was glorious. And then, subtly, strangely, it shifted. What began as baroque grandeur started to unravel. Literally. The dresses softened, liquefied. Jewel tones gave way to sleek silvers, white chiffon peeled off like ceremonial wrappings. Models morphed from queens into wraiths, mummified and modern. Until, the dresses finally returned to the pageantry and pomp of a more familiar Dior, and Galliano emerged in a tailored pinstripe suit like a devious fashion archaeologist surveying his fantastical dig site. Monumental jewellery dripped from their bodies, so oversized it bordered on surrealism. Turquoise, lapis, coral, and gold earrings the size of eagle eggs. Faces masked in carved wood, crafted by milliner Stephen Jones, evoked gods like Anubis, Bast and Horus. Those without masks wore another kind of facade: gold-dusted lips, redrawn brows, thick kohl liner, Pat McGrath's makeup mastery turning flesh into canvas. But don't mistake this for a gimmick. Yes, it was wild. Yes, it was bedazzled beyond belief. But beneath the rhinestones was a real sense of reverence. Not historical accuracy - Galliano couldn't care less about that - but something more compelling: a cultural homage reimagined as couture hallucination. One thing about Galliano: restraint has never been part of his design vocabulary. This is the man who once sent models down the runway waving dead mackerels at his graduate show. And at Dior Spring 2004, he was in peak form: unfiltered, unhinged, and utterly magnificent. Call it what you will (eclecticism, excess, ego with embroidery?) but thank the gods - and the hot air balloon ride over Egypt - that he never learned to play it safe.

Forget Logo Tees - Rihanna's Made This Statement Top The Ultimate Fashion Flex
Once upon a time, a logo T-shirt was the fashion girl's go-to move. Clean, minimal, and straight to the point, brands like Balenciaga, Vetements and Gucci have been responsible for some of the most popular logo tees of the past decade. In 2025, though, it's not just about who you're wearing, it's about what you're 'supporting' (or should that be 'sporting'?) Suddenly, the humble sports jersey is stealing the spotlight. Think football tops styled with cargos, F1 racing shirts layered over maxi skirts, and basketball jerseys paired with kitten heels. What used to be reserved for match day or your boyfriend's closet is now front-row fashion. Blame it on Rihanna, who has – almost singlehandedly – turned a sports jersey into a street style staple. There's also Dua Lipa, who' wears 's been wearing vintage football shirts as regularly as Bella Hadid wears archival Galliano. Either way, the jersey's rebrand is here – and it's winning. It makes sense. Fashion has been flirting with sportswear for years. The rise of athleisure blurred the line between gym gear and everyday style, with leggings and sneakers becoming wardrobe staples. I mean, the Alo Yoga Set is so popular right now that its threatening to replace jeans and nice top. Post pandemic, the jersey is naturally just the next evolution. It taps into that same 'effortless but intentional' vibe - oversized, comfortable, but packed with personality. The key to pulling it off? It's all in the styling. Don't go full kit. This isn't about looking like you're off to five-a-side, treat it like a statement T-shirt. Tuck a vintage football jersey into a tailored mini; throw a bomber over a Formula 1 tee with wide-leg trousers; add chunky jewellery, a sleek bag, and maybe a heel to balance the sporty energy. You don't need to drop hundreds on a designer piece, you can thrift one, borrow one, or get one on the high street just in time for the women's Euros. 1. Nike, Street Short Sleeve Jersey Bring gridiron style to your London events with this off-white jersey. It has a breathable design, so is suitable for when the sun hots up. 2. iet Frans, T-Shirt Mini Dress This t-shirt is so oversized it can double up as a dress too. Team it with boots and a shirt underneath if the skies are looking grey. 4. Cernucci, 86 Cropped Mesh Top - Cherry Red Price: £31.99( was £44.99) Not all sports jerseys are boy cut, this one is cropped and will sit on top of a high waisted jeans nicely. 5. Lioness Spectate Top Bring some brightness to pair of jeans with Lioness' spectate top. There's plenty of room in this top to tie, crop or wear off the shoulder.

Here's Who Our Forum Members Think Should Be the Next Balenciaga Creative Director…
You might not need reminding that Balenciaga is without a creative director, and an announcement of a new visionary for the Paris-based fashion house is imminent. In March (following the not-so-unexpected exit of Sabato De Sarno at Gucci), Demna ultimately became Gucci creative director. As a result, the Georgian designer leaves his post at Balenciaga, scheduled to present his final collection in July during Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week. Previous creative directors of Balenciaga (founded in 1917 by Cristóbal Balenciaga) include Michel Goma (1987-1992), Josephus Thimister (1992-1997) Nicolas Ghesquière (1997-2012), and Alexander Wang (2013-2015). Currently without a job within the world of fashion are John Galliano, Hedi Slimane, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Kim Jones – the list goes on. Who will be the next Balenciaga creative director is the question on everyone's lips. 'Galliano x Balenciaga would be nice if we could get the fresh and dynamic Galliano from Dior early 2000s. No one really wants the autopilot burnout Galliano from the early 2010s.' [FashionPower] 'Seriously speaking, it has to be Daniel [Roseberry]. It's a perfect match. Just imagining what he would cook up with the archives is already making me dream. Make Balenciaga Great Again!' [Marc10] 'Pieter Mulier for Balenciaga would be fantastic!' [cheapthrills] 'Give me Pierpaolo Piccioli and I'll be happy. However, seeing Roseberry and Mulier I wouldn't be disappointed.' [fashionlov] 'I want Claire Waight Keller for Balenciaga. She was done so dirty by Givenchy and LMVH, but we still have her to thank for one of the best HC shows of the past decade or so (not that there's been a lot of competition).' [fruitdots] 'Please let it be someone who can respect the craft of couture and make us dream again. I can't stand the disgusting streetwear that the brand has become known for.' [IsabelMarantBoy] 'I can only see Kanye taking over with the current direction they are going…' [GreyVetiver] 'I really don't care who goes where by now. I am so tired.' [Salvatore] Share your own thoughts on who should be the next Balenciaga creative director, here.
