Whether it was Coco Chanel co-opting the striped 'mariner' pullover named for the French fisherman who sported them or Jean Seberg's penchant for wearing them in the 1960 film, these classic tops are synonymous with French style. According to Printemps CEO Jean-Marc Bellaiche, the newly opened New York outpost of the famous Parisian department store is on a mission to bring hard-to-find French brands to the US to be featured in its revolving main floor pop-up space. After debuting with Jacquemus and Coperni X Disney, the latest Gallic brand to debut is Saint James, which opened its first US retail space just in time for New York's famous fleet week.

To kick off the event, Luc Lesénécal, CEO of Saint James, Benjamin Auzimour, Managing Director of Saint James North America, and Thierry Prévost, CEO of Printemps America, hosted an intimate cocktail for press and VIPs for a sneak peek at the offerings. 'I'm thrilled to celebrate the opening of the Saint James pop-up shop at Printemps New York,' said Auzimour in a release. 'Both Saint James and Printemps share an authentic connection to French culture, making this pop-up a natural fit. With our shared French heritage, Printemps is the perfect location to showcase our summer collection and introduce Saint James' timeless apparel to a new audience in New York City.'

The store channels Parisian apartment chic inside the Art Deco landmark at One Wall Street. As guests enter through a sculptural glass entrance on Broadway, which flows into the vibrant Playroom — a striking space anchored by multicolored marble, they are immediately welcomed to the exclusive Saint James pop-up.
The installation captures Saint James' coastal French heritage with a fresh, timeless feel. Clean lines, crisp nautical details, and deep navy carpeting set the tone. A bold white stripe traces the ceiling's curve, morphing into an undulating shelf that mirrors the building's architecture. The navy, white, and subtle red palette nods to the seaside and seamlessly blends into Printemps' signature French elegance. It perfectly recollects the brand's origins, dating to 1899 in Normandy, boasting places like Deauville that captured Chanel's heart. The designer was famously inspired by the wool knit jersey tunic tops worn by the fishermen there. The immersive space is meant to evoke a breezy, coastal retreat in the midst of the Financial District.
The American customers can peruse Saint James' iconic wardrobe essentials for the whole family with selections men, women, kids, even dogs plus unisex styles. Signature Breton stripes and nautical classics sit alongside the Summer 2025 collection featuring sun-washed hues, timeless silhouettes, and the brand's traditional Mer blue — an homage to the South of France. An exclusive offering includes a collaboration with Korean artist Maria (Taehyoung) Jeon who embroidered delicate florals onto the Minquiers Moderne long-sleeve Breton tees adding an artistic edge to the classic style.
The Saint James pop-up at Printemps New York (One Wall Street, NYC) is open to the public for a limited one-month run, offering an introduction to the renowned Normandy craftsmanship with no passport required.

STMicro to buy part of NXP Semiconductors' sensor business for up to $950 million

(Reuters) -French-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics said on Thursday it would acquire part of NXP Semiconductors' sensor unit for up to $950 million in cash. The deal would expand STMicro's portfolio of MEMS-based electromechanical sensors, which include safety and monitoring sensors for vehicles as well as pressure sensors for industrial applications. The unit generated revenue of about $300 million last year, STMicro said in a statement. As part of the agreement, STMicro would make an upfront payment of $900 million and $50 million on achieving certain technical milestones. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026. Chipmakers exposed to the struggling automotive, industrial, and consumer chip markets have faced a sales slump as they grapple with low demand and high inventories. Earlier in the day, STMicro, one of Europe's largest chipmakers, reported its first quarterly loss in over a decade as it took a $190 million hit from restructuring and impairment costs.

Jets owner Woody Johnson completes purchase of stake in Premier League club Crystal Palace

LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace confirmed Thursday that New York Jets owner Woody Johnson's purchase of Eagle Football's shareholding in the Premier League club has been completed. 'I am honored and privileged to be joining the ownership group of Crystal Palace Football Club,' Johnson told the club website. Palace announced last month that Johnson had signed 'a legally binding contract' to buy the shares of fellow American John Textor, who had a 43% stake in the London club, with reports at the time placing the price between $220 million and $260 million. The latest club statement gave no financial details. Johnson joins chairman Steve Parish, Josh Harris and David Blitzer as a partner and director of the club, and has also signed the Premier League's Owners' Charter. 'It is an organization with a proud history, tradition, and deep roots in English football in South London, which I came to admire during my time as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom," Johnson said. Palace finished 12th last season in the 20-team Premier League. Competition dispute Johnson's arrival at Palace comes with the club in dispute with UEFA over which European competition it will play in next season after winning the FA Cup in May — its first major trophy in 120 years of existence. Palace was demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League after falling foul of UEFA's rules governing multi-club ownership, but has submitted an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. UEFA determined that as of March 1, Textor had control or influence in Palace and French club Lyon. Textor said he had agreed to sell his stake in Palace to Johnson, but the move came too late to satisfy UEFA. ___ AP soccer:

Big Layoffs Keep Coming as the Remaking of Intel Rolls On

More layoffs are coming at Intel, the latest Big Tech company to make big cuts in its staff. The American chip giant on Thursday afternoon said in a letter from CEO Lip-Bu Tan, published online in concert with the company's latest financial results, that it plans to end the year with a workforce of around 75,000 after "workforce reductions and attrition,' cutting jobs by about 15%. That would mark a substantial year-over-year reduction from the nearly 10,000 employees Intel (INTC) reported at the end of 2024. Several large U.S. tech firms have taken similar steps in recent months as they've sought to cut costs, sustain profits and restructure operations: Microsoft (MSFT) in early July confirmed plans for thousands of layoffs, while Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) was making buyout offers last month. "We are making hard but necessary decisions to streamline the organization, drive greater efficiency and increase accountability at every level of the company," Tan wrote Thursday. The company as it has sought to turn around its business and revitalize interest in its stock has taken on staffing as well as strategic questions. Earlier this year it said it expected hybrid employees to be on site at least four days a week by Sept. 1, a move Tan said today was "on track." And job cuts that happened in Q2, Tan wrote, reduced "the number of management layers by about 50%." "All of this is designed to drive organizational effectiveness and transform our culture," Tan wrote. Shares of Intel edged about 1% higher in after-hours trading.
