Residents in Dunfermline have been "crying out" for a movie theatre located in the heart of the city after the last one closed two decades ago.

Peacock Cinema will hold its first showing at Carnegie Hall on the Fife city's East Port at 7pm on Friday. Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited will be the first film to play on the big screen as the pictures launches its own summer movie season. There hasn't been a movie theatre located in the heart of Dunfermline for 25 years since the last one shut. The Robins Cinema, which was a historic venue also located on East Port, closed in 2000 after facing financial difficulties. Before that, there was the Regal Cinema, but this closed sometime in June 1976 after being acquired by the Littlewoods retail stores, and was destroyed in a fire set by vandals soon after. We know people in Dunfermline have been crying out for a city centre cinema for years, now we've made it happen Derek Glen There was also The Palace Kinema, but this shut down in the mid-1960s and was demolished to make way for a car park. Over time, this left a huge hole in the city's cultural scene, and the Dunfermline Regeneration Trust began working to bring the big screen back. The next closest cinema in Dunfermline is the ODEON, which is located in Fife Leisure Park. The charity teamed up with OnFife to make it happen, and they have kicked it off with a special seasonal arrangement. Inside 'world's largest cinema' the 'Big King' with 2,700-seater triple-decker 'grand hall' and giant 3,000sq ft screen Project lead Derek Glen told The Herald: 'We know people in Dunfermline have been crying out for a city centre cinema for years, now we've made it happen. "But if folk really want it to last, they need to back it by turning up.' He added: "Whether you're after a low-cost family outing, a nostalgic night out, or just a good excuse for popcorn, Peacock Cinema is here, and it's ready to roll." Peacock Cinema promises to "bring a fantastic programme of films to Dunfermline city centre" with screenings every Friday and Sunday throughout the six-week summer season. And it has its very own tuck shop where visitors can grab huge bags of popcorn, drinks, sweets and ice cream. Describing the new project on the website, OnFife has said it is offering affordable ticket prices and a welcoming atmosphere. It added: "It's a perfect way for folk of all ages and backgrounds to come together and celebrate the magic of film." Screenings will take place over three strands to cater for all ages.

Paris Fashion Week: A menswear show of designs inspired by India, the 90s
The recently concluded spring-summer edition of Paris Fashion Week saw designers looking at various cultures through a new creative lens. Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton, for instance, had the Indian dandy on his moodboard which informed the tailoring. The collection was experimental, soft and free-flowing. For the first time, the motif created by Louis Vuitton for the 2007 film, The Darjeeling Limited, was inculcated as part of a collection. Originally conceived exclusively for the film and emblazoned on 11 pieces of luggage featured in the story, set in India, the pattern included cheetahs, elephants, gazelles, giraffes, rhinoceros, zebras and palm trees on a semi-tan leather base. It also appeared in embroideries on striped shirts and shorts, denim sets, elegant check tailoring and knitwear, as fil-coupé in tailoring and shirting, and as hand-embroidery on a cashmere coat and an over-shirt. Another high point this season was Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior. The artistic director offered a playful reinterpretation of house heritage code. From capes to boxer shorts, from knitwear to court jackets, every look cross-pollinated textures, motifs and colours. It was part preppy and part punk. Also read: Milan Fashion Week: Designers offer luxury PJs, softly tailored suits At the Saint Laurent show, on the other hand, artistic director Anthony Vaccarello explored the idea of escapism while paying a tribute to a lost generation of queer artists, including Larry Stanton, Patrick Angus and Darrel Ellis. Here are some key menswear trends that emerged at the Paris Fashion Week: It's all in the details The Hermès collection celebrated easy, relaxed and contemporary living tinged with a rakish nonchalance. The first look, for example, featured a putty-hued leather T-shirt with a line of an open-weave technique running from outside sleeve to shoulder. One of the key looks was a pair of trousers crafted from a distinctive lattice-work. Also worth mentioning are Kenzo's jackets and blazers which came accented with military frogging. The belt buckles spelled 'KENZO", 'MEOW" and 'WOOF", reminiscent of the 90s. Archival redux At his debut Dior Men show, Anderson offered a manic mashup of high and low, superimposing historical eras and style sensibilities. Digging deep into the house's storied archives, he reimagined the folds of the 1948 Delft dress as a pair of denim cargo shorts. The 1952 Cigale coat was recreated in of-the-moment moiré. There were nods to Caprice, the checked wool coat from Spring 1948, in a pair of voluminous trousers. Louche tailoring At Amiri, loungewear was mixed with refined tailoring. Monogrammed robes, slippers and tassel-adorned details nodded to grand hotel traditions. The brand was inspired by artist Wes Lang, whose time in Room 34 of the Chateau Marmont initiated a visual dialogue between interior and exterior, stillness and movement. Lang's bird motifs, originally inked on hotel stationery, were employed as embroidery. At Louis Vuitton, silks, leathers and fine wools appeared sun-faded in texture while cashmere mixed with silk, llama or vicuña was treated to resemble raw textures. Dries Van Noten's showcase by Julian Klausner, too, embraced soft tailoring inhabited in silk sarongs, striped shirts, and slouchy tailored trousers. The accessories section The Dior Book Tote was reimagined with book covers, including Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Another bag, a crossbody, paid an homage to another iconic literary work, Dracula by Bram Stoker. The Lady Dior meanwhile was re-contextualised by artist Sheila Hicks and cloaked in a nest of pure linen ponytails. LV Speedy P9 bags were amplified with painted stripes evoking those of archival trunks, with Monogram embroidery in vibrant blue, ochre and purple, and with monogram gold-thread embroidery on leather. The Speedy P9 also appeared in faded colours on ostrich, in green Sahara-finish crocodile, in scarf prints with three-dimensional monogram elements, and in a tree-of-life carpet weave with animal embroideries. What's more, Hermès designed totes printed with gamboling monkeys. The pièce de résistance, though, was a triple-decker tan Birkin bag avatar.

Gia Coppola's childhood home in LA asks $2.25M for sale
Lights, camera, Coppola! A Spanish Revival gem in California with deep ties to Hollywood royalty has hit the market for $2.25 million — offering not just sweeping views of Los Angeles, but a front-row seat to the Coppola family legacy. Tucked into the winding streets of Whitley Heights, a historic enclave once favored by silent film icons like Rudolph Valentino and Charlie Chaplin, the 1922 residence was once owned by 'The Godfather' director Francis Ford Coppola. Advertisement Coppola purchased the home in 1994. 13 The pool.

Her credits include 'The Last Showgirl,' which came out in 2024. During their time in the home, the mother-daughter duo turned the 1,931-square-foot property into a bohemian Hollywood salon, hosting gatherings that blurred the line between work and play. Advertisement Guests have included everyone from Demi Moore, Leonardo DiCaprio to the Smashing Pumpkins, while Jacqui — whose styling credits span from 'The Darjeeling Limited' to music videos for the Beastie Boys and the Strokes — curated a distinctly calm ambiance. Architecturally, the three-bedroom, four-bath home retains its 1920s charm, with hand-troweled plaster walls, vintage tile, arched French doors and a red-tile roof. 13 Francis Ford Coppola with Gia Coppola in 2014.

Pharrell Williams' Louis Vuitton show dazzles with retro tailoring and Indian-inspired designs
Pharrell Williams's latest Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week was worth the wait, despite some initial frustrations over its delayed 9 pm start time. The rescheduling, initially met with collective sighs, was quickly forgiven when news broke that Beyoncé and Jay-Z would attend the event, alongside other high-profile figures such as Omar Sy, Steve McQueen, Spike Lee, and Victor Wembanyama. The spring-summer 2026 collection, Williams's most impressive yet since becoming the brand's creative director of menswear in 2023, featured retro tailoring with unique combinations, such as cargo pants paired with shrunken sweaters. The collection showcased the luxury brand's latest tactic of transforming everyday items into premium versions, including striped polo shirts and boxy work shirts, all crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Titled Paris to India, the collection drew inspiration from modern Indian sartorialism. The influence was visible in the ornate decorations on some of the trunks carried by models and a set designed by Bijoy Jain, featuring a giant hand-painted rendering of snakes and ladders, a traditional Indian game. The soundtrack included a Punjabi track co-produced by AR Rahman, adding another layer of Indian cultural influence. While the collaboration with Indian creatives offered an authentic cultural voice, some critics raised concerns over more reductive elements, such as embroidered exotic animals, which seemed to draw from past Louis Vuitton designs created for Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. However, the collection's playful references to modern-day India, like cricket-themed striped ties and camping backpacks, added a relevant and fresh twist. Despite some controversy surrounding Williams's work, including criticism over the symbolic placement of the Louis Vuitton logo on Doechii's cheek and the use of luxury materials, Louis Vuitton remains optimistic that Williams's star power and pop-culture-driven designs will continue to drive sales. (Louis Vuitton and LVMH are under pressure, with the group's fashion and leather goods divisions reporting a decline in revenue during the first quarter of 2025.)
