Arsenal stars Martin Odegaard, Alessia Russo, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Beth Mead all helped to launch the partnership, which Arsenal said “showcases Arsenal and Aries’ shared values of togetherness and community”, along with famous fans such as Ghetts, ShyGirl, Lava La Rue, Kaya Scodelario and Knucks.

“The holistic vision of Hedi Slimane, his exigence and rigour have made it possible to redefine the codes of Celine whilst reaffirming its feminine and Parisian roots,” Celine said in a statement. “He has also remarkably enriched new territories for the Maison such as the men’s silhouette, couture and haute parfumerie.” His time at Celine will be best recalled for introducing his style of rock-star grunge, super slim-fit tailoring, striking campaign videos (the most recent saw him take over Norfolk’s Holkham Hall), a blow-out fashion show in Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre, and a string of successful handbags; the most famous bag was his first, the briefcase-esque “16 handbag”, which he launched with the help of Lady Gaga.

Autumn has arrived hastily and as ever, when leaves start falling, books begin calling. From Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir to the latest page-turner by master storyteller Robert Harris, by way of Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo, there is something for everyone here.Precipice by Robert HarrisPrecipice by Robert HarrisPenguin BooksIt’s sometimes a delight to know exactly what you’re getting and Robert Harris is nothing if not a great storyteller. Precipice begins in the build up to the First Word War when the 61 year old Prime Minister Herbert Asquith became infatuated with the 26 year old socialite Venetia Stanley. Harris drew on the archive of letters Asquith sent to his paramour (often three times a day and sometimes written during cabinet meetings) and this novel is among Harris’s very best.Shy ...

Another option, should you wish to hide, or disguise, your greys? Ask your colourist to blend them into your highlights. It’s a technique Melanie Smith, Senior Colourist at HARI’s is an advocate of, and she will encourage those wishing to subtly include greys into the mix to “generally go a bit lighter to blend them out, using soft woven multi-tones for a super flattering finish.” And if you, like Beckham, are tempted to dye your brows and beard, too, remember that you’ll need a dedicated dye for the job as skin in that part of the face is more sensitive.

Phillip Schofield is back. In a ridiculously on-the-nose twist that effectively no one saw coming, the disgraced former This Morning presenter is going to be returning to screens tonight as part of a three part Cast Away special for Channel 5.“Now you know how I spent my summer,” Schofield wrote on Instagram last week, “Alone for 10 days. No food. No water. No crew. My story of survival, both on a desert island and off it. Cast Away starts Monday on @channel5 & My5 at 9pm.”His decision to return to screens has ruffled a lot of feathers. Schofield’s former colleague, Eamonn Holmes, has hit out at Schofield, saying he “deserves to be in exile” and “is addicted to fame.”Phillip Schofield on an island off the coast of Madagascar, on Channel 5’s Cast Away (Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited/Bur...

As far as Heathcliff’s otherness is concerned: yes, it is an important part of his character. But the beauty of art – and of a 177-year-old tale of pure fiction – is that the creator (in this case, Fennell) can (and should) be afforded freedom to express that otherness as they see fit. The answer to the Elordi-not-being-a-gypsy conundrum might be found in what former Heathcliff Tom Hardy did with Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. “Bane, quintessentially, is Latinx in origin and I’m not,” Hardy told Wired when the Christopher Nolan film came out in 2012. “So I looked at the concept of Latin and found a man called Bartley Gorman, who’s a Romani gypsy. The king of the gypsies, in inverted commas, and a bare-knuckle fighter and a boxer.” He remoulded the movie’s villain to fit an image that he co...

Inside, three decadent rooms were stuffed with the cream of the fashion designer crop alongside their muses. Some extravagant looks made the journey from a banquet room, complete with an explosion of flowers and canapes, to the smoking area, where the Eiffel Tower glistened on demand, somewhat treacherous. The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, who opted for a straight-off-the-catwalk hooped, floral dress from Loewe making her her two-metres wide, said she had found herself stuck while trying to hunt down a vodka cocktail. Others attempted to give Jenner, who wore a Miu Miu crystal embellished mini-dress, a wide birth so as not to catch their lace creations in her bling. Source link

So what of the kinder element? Aside from a dedicated ski school for tiny learners, the hotel also housed the kids club, Rocky’s, on site for those who wanted a little R&R while mummy and daddy slipped off to the spa or multiple saunas (side note: nudity is de rigueur so no blushing here). Family rooms were thoughtfully stocked with child-friendly toiletries, towels, snacks and baby monitors, which were built into the room’s phone system. Game changers when you would really rather not pack the kitchen sink for a week’s trip. Source link

I have returned to Rome at least once a in the memoir — late-Renaissance and baroque year, usually twice, for the past 20 years, Rome, what I like to call My Rome. Mostly especially after the publication of my narrow streets and cobbled lanes, representing books. I have my “haunts” and these still my itinerary from one bookstore to another. I take me back to my first year in Rome. I fell in love with books because they screened like evening scenes when the shops the world of Rome that I still wasn’t sure I liked, close and the Romans head home. I still love the gleaming cobblestone as the city starts to empty a bit on streets such as Via Frattina and Via dei Condotti, which I discovered on my second or third day in Rome as an adolescent. I love that these streets are now closed to traffic ...

There is something deeply satisfying about a celebrity who decides to couple up with a normie. First, because it implies that any one of us weirdos could pull an A-lister if we were simply in the right place at the right time. And second, because it raises so many interesting questions. Why? How? Where did they meet? How do they make it work? Does the normal person even understand the concept of a glam team? Does the celebrity even understand the concept of renting? It’s fascinating.As for who to direct those questions to, well, that’s what we’ll be answering here. From Riz Ahmed’s coffee shop meet-cute with his novelist wife to Sydney Sweeney’s “business guy” fiancé, here are all the celebs and royals that took a chance on kissing a frog, only for it to remain a frog. Aka ended up with us...
