Martha Stewart beats the heat in a flowy, summer caftan — copy her look from $20
Make room in your closet — you're about to crave a new caftan. At least, that's how we felt after seeing Martha Stewart wear one at a recent appearance in Nantucket, MA, for a panel and book signing. And no, it's not your grandma's house dress. She wore a sophisticated, floor-sweeping number that managed to be both breezy and elevated. The dress in question? A dreamy shade of blue, with a plunging V-neck, architectural sleeve cutouts and a leg-revealing slit that brought just the right amount of drama. She paired it with bold gold jewelry for a look that felt coastal, effortless and quietly glamorous — the kind of look that whispers "I summer on a yacht" without needing to spell it out. (Catch it in the event's Instagram post.) Stewart's clearly in her caftan era — and we're here for it. Earlier this summer, she posted photos in an orange linen version out by the pool, and another in a flowing Roberto Cavalli dress while aboard a luxury boat. Point being: Stewart is making a strong case for the caftan as this season's most versatile look. Not sure about this timeless ensemble? These breezy, elevated picks are poised to change your mind. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

From Dior to Longchamp: fashion transforms Mediterranean resorts
Seaside luxury is no longer just a summer flirtation—it's a full-season strategy. From Dior to Dolce & Gabbana, fashion's biggest names are turning coastal destinations into branded playgrounds. High-end hotels, beach clubs, and restaurants are being transformed into immersive brand spaces, blending lifestyle, leisure, and luxury in some of the world's most exclusive resort towns. But this sun-soaked real estate isn't just for the mega players anymore. A wave of mid-sized and independent labels— Longchamp, Lacoste, Coccinelle, and others—is making its own mark on the Mediterranean. This summer, Christian Dior extends its world tour with the Dioriviera summer collection. LVMH 's flagship fashion house is multiplying activations with pop‑up stores from Bali to Seoul, featuring exotic bamboo and rattan structures. In Ibiza, Capri, Mykonos, Bodrum, D‑Maris and Portofino, deckchairs, umbrellas and other accessories at selected beaches and pools are adorned with toile de Jouy prints from the Dioriviera collection. Dior also customizes armchairs and sofas for travelling spas and cafés, including the 'Bacaro Dior' at Venice's Hotel Cipriani, owned by LVMH's Belmond hotel chain. Pools feature animal‑shaped buoys, while seaside stops offer excursions aboard Riviera boats decorated with the Dior signature. Roberto Cavalli sets up shop in Cannes and the Balearic Islands. On the Côte d'Azur, the Italian label decorates the private Annex Beach on the Croisette with its zebra stripes and 'Ray of Sea ' print, while at Playa d'en Bossa in Ibiza, it takes over the Oyster & Caviar Bar at The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel, decorating its pool with parasols, beach beds, cushions and towels. Not forgetting the Jacuzzi. Jacquemus is also in Monaco this season, partnering with the Monte‑Carlo Beach Club. Its signature banana‑or‑coconut yellow and black stripes, inspired by its La Croisière collection presented in January in Paris, decorate deckchairs, parasols and towels at the pontoon and Olympic Pool Café. Nearby, two dedicated boutiques embrace the Provençal spirit dear to Simon Porte Jacquemus. Dolce & Gabbana multiplies activations this summer in exclusive venues. Each time, the label dresses the beach in distinctive prints—towels, furniture, buoys, surfboards—as well as cafés and restaurants with tablecloths, cushions and tableware. The leopard theme takes over the Clap House in Ibiza; banana leaves deck Twiga Beach and its Vesta restaurant in Forte dei Marmi for a tropical green ambience. Sicilian ceramic motifs adorn Carillon Beach Club near Portofino and its restaurant and pop‑up. Blue ceramic motifs appear at La Cabane, a club at Marbella's Los Monteros, the pool at San Domenico Palace in Taormina, and across the Atlantic at Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa in the Hamptons. Near Saint‑Tropez, the duo install a bohemian‑style pop‑up on Pampelonne's Casa Amor beach, using cart‑inspired motifs also seen at Hotel Cala di Volpe in Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Louis Vuitton differentiates itself with a gourmet ice‑cream kiosk positioned outside its Forte dei Marmi boutique. Fully in line with local seaside tradition, the green wooden structure offers ten flavours developed with historic gelato maker Galliano 1923. The experience features brand‑detail cookies, the mascot in flower form, and other visual touches consistent with the Louis Vuitton image. Forte dei Marmi continues to attract fashion activations. Longchamp has again redesigned the Bagno Felice 1 resort near its boutique. A special edition of its Pliage model will be sold all summer. The brand's green identity colours beach furniture, cabins and textiles—from cabin keys to backgammon boards—and hosts live music and events throughout the season. Italian leather brand Coccinelle has partnered with Sirocco Volcanic restaurant on Milos, Greece, featuring products in a beach-and-concept‑store setting. Deckchairs and accessories—including cushions and placemats—bear the brand's name. A pop‑up near Port Adamas also offers curated pieces. Lacoste brings green-and-white stripes and its crocodile motif to Tigu Beach in Sestri Levante. The French sportswear brand designs beds, parasols, towels and cushions, and presents its original Lacoste perfume at the café‑restaurant, open from morning till night. Guess is stepping up a gear with its 'Beach clubs' project, launched three years ago. The American jeans brand has announced no fewer than nine partnerships with some of the most popular beaches in the Mediterranean basin, strengthening its presence in key European markets while expanding into new destinations. These include Kalua Beach Club in Mykonos, Greece; the panoramic terrace and swimming pool of the Sopot Marriott Resort & Spa in Poland, overlooking the Baltic Sea in the heart of Sopot; Purobeach Vilamoura on Portugal's Algarve coast; and Bernie's Beach Club on the Dutch coastline. Guess dresses beach furniture and accessories inspired by seascapes and coastal lifestyle, applying its name and signature 4G motif to towels and surfboards. Alongside the new locations, the label also returns to Turkey—via Ruins in Bodrum and Yuzu Beach in Çeşme—to the Balearic Islands with Blue Marlin Ibiza in Cala Jondal Bay, and to Italy at La Fenice in Forte dei Marmi and Arienzo Beach Club in Positano. 'This project reflects our commitment to consolidating Guess's reputation in international markets. By collaborating with some of Europe's most prestigious beach clubs, we are not only strengthening the brand's image, but also offering holidaymakers an immersive experience blending fashion, lifestyle and luxury travel,' said Creative Director Paul Marciano in a statement. The Cancemi family commissioned Italian stylist Alessandro Enriquez to furnish their newly inaugurated Braccialieri resort hotel, nestled among olive trees in the heart of baroque Sicily, in the Noto Valley. Known for his bold and cheerful aesthetic, Enriquez brings a pop-infused flair to the entire venue, enriching it with colourful fantasy motifs. His touch is evident throughout the resort, from the café and restaurant to the leisure areas with parasols and deckchairs. The highlight is the swimming pool, which he decorates with large red-and-white tiles inspired by traditional kitchen floors. A large communal garden table also reflects his whimsical yet convivial approach to design. For the second summer in a row, Pollini, the luxury shoemaker owned by the Aeffe Group (Moschino), returns to customise Café del Lago, located near the port of La Salina on the island of Formentera. Facing the lagoon, the space reflects the elegant restraint of the historic Italian footwear brand. Combining design and a Mediterranean touch, Pollini uses natural materials and a soft, coastal palette of sand, ivory, and rope. Every detail has been considered: the label's signature aesthetic appears on cushions, seating, menus, lanterns, and even a pedal boat made available to guests.

Giorgio Armani Marks His Brand's 50th Year With Multiple Celebrations
Designer Giorgio Armani (Photo by Barbara White Sloan/WWD/Penske Media via Getty Images) It seems 1975 was a good year for design. Several brands, mainly Italian, are celebrating 50th anniversaries in 2025. To wit, Roberto Cavalli, Santoni, John Hardy, and the "King of Fashion" himself, Giorgio Armani, are all marking significant milestones this year. When the Northern Italian-born designer founded his namesake label at 41, he was already well-regarded in the industry, having established himself as a menswear designer at Cerrutti 1881, a freelance fashion designer for brands Allegri, Bagutta, Gibò, and Montedoro, among others, and his early career included roles in sales and as a window dresser at La Rinascente. With the support of friend Sergio Galeotti, he founded Giorgio Armani S.p.A. in Milan on July 24th, 1975. Now at 91, Mr. Armani is still at the helm of his namesake brand with plans to retire in the next year or so. To celebrate the anniversary, the brand has announced an exhibit and pop-up to mark the occasion. The Giorgio Armani Pop-up at the Sunset Beach Hotel in Shelter island. In Milan, the designer will launch the Armani/Archivio project on Saturday, August 30th, during the Venice Film Festival. Armani/Archivo is an interactive digital platform that showcases content curated from a comprehensive cataloging of the Giorgio Armani collections, aiming to preserve the brand's pioneering legacy while serving as a bridge between past and future. In the coming months, the platform will be housed in a physical site just outside of Milan. Additionally, the brand is planning celebrations during the upcoming Milan Fashion Week, also known as MFW, centered on the debut of its Spring 2026 women's collections. On Wednesday, September 24th, Giorgio Armani will open a curated showcase to the public at the Pinacoteca di Brera gallery. It's a first for the 'Brera Art Gallery, the main public gallery regarded as having one of the foremost collections of Italian paintings dating from the 13th to the 20th centuries. It is also the first time they have hosted an exhibition of fashion, featuring over 150 archival Giorgio Armani looks spanning the brand's five decades. Rounding out the week will be the closing show of MFW in the historic Courtyard of Honour at Palazzo Brera, featuring the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2026 Women's Collection alongside select menswear looks from the collection presented in June. Actress Mamie Gummer attends the Giorgio Armani But the brand is busy with some other activations this summer on this side of the Atlantic before the big 50thfete. Coinciding with the same anniversary date, the brand unveiled its first Giorgio Armani Mare pop-up Stateside, featuring the 2025 collection. After launching several iterations in some of the world's most coveted summer destinations such as Porto Cervo, Capri, and Cannes, the coastal lifestyle collection—which includes swimwear, resort wear, linen tailoring, beachside ready accessories, towels, and more—will be the focus of a pop-up at Sunset Beach on Shelter Island. To toast the 10-day ephemeral boutique and the summer collection inspired by easy Amalfi Coast living, the brand hosted a sunset cocktail event that brought the Mediterranean lifestyle to the Hamptons. The popular hotel—located on the island affectionately referred to as the "Island of Peace" and situated between Long Island's North and South Forks—has transformed its façade, game room, and beachfront to evoke a beachfront vis-à-vis tropical palms in shades of grey and turquoise with contrasting warm wooden tones of flooring. Inside the Giorgio Armani pop up on Shelter Island. Guests included Linda Fargo, Mamie Gummer, André Balazs, Tracy Margulies, Kristina O'Neill, Leandra Medine Cohen, Mei Kwok, Pamela Tick, and Dora Fung of 10 Magazine US, who shared activities such as dog-friendly beach time, backgammon, al fresco dining, and dancing as part of the opening event celebrations on her Instagram feed.
