Roberto Cavalli launches luxury hospitality partnerships in Ibiza and Cannes
The label has brought its bold aesthetic to new Ibiza luxury destination The Unexpected Hotel, which is located in the heart of Playa d'en Bossa. The hotel was developed as part of the renovation of the Ushuaïa Tower and is inspired by the iconic Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, known for its excellent services and entertainment, avant-garde design, and haute gastronomy.
Cavalli's aesthetic takeover covers the hotel's Oyster & Caviar Bar, located next to the recently opened restaurant- Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. The fashion house has customised every detail of the space with its new Ray of Sea print, from sun loungers to beach towels, pillows, umbrellas, and even the private Jacuzzi on the VIP terrace.
Ray of Sea was designed by Cavalli's creative director Fausto Puglisi as part of an exclusive capsule for Summer 2025. The print represents an evolution of the archival Ray of Gold print, introduced on the runway for the brand's spring/ summer 2007 collection. Inspired by sunlight reflected on a gold Art Deco lighter that belonged to the brand's founder, Roberto Cavalli, the print has now been reinterpreted in a Miami Blue hue.
Following the Cannes Film Festival, the Italian label returned to the French Riviera for its new collaboration with Annex Beach. The space celebrates Roberto Cavalli's aesthetic universe with an installation that juxtaposes its Zebra Stripes and Ray of Sea prints. Cavalli sofas, cushions, beach towels, sun loungers, and tableware have transformed the beach destination into a true expression of the brand's lifestyle vision.

Is Oasis coming to mainland Europe for their reunion tour?
When Oasis announced they were getting back together and taking the show on the road, no dates were listed for venues in mainland Europe. Guess fans on the continent just had to roll with it. Liam and Noel Gallagher kicked off their Live '25 Tour in Wales at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last month, and they've brought their long-awaited reunion tour to their hometown of Manchester and most recently London. Next up are shows in Edinburgh and Dublin, as well as stops in North and South America, Australia and Japan. However, there may still be some hope left for fans in mainland EU... The Rome City Councillor for Major Events has claimed that 'negotiations are underway' to bring Oasis' tour to the Italian city – sparking rumours that more dates could follow. Alessandro Onorato said on local radio station Radio Sei that he's making efforts to bring the tour to Italy. 'Organising a large event in Rome is very complicated; in the past, Rome has been the 'city of missed opportunities.'' He continued: 'Oasis in the capital? These are live shows for companies that organise events all over the world, and the financial aspect is crucial. Negotiations are underway.' So, could Oasis be adding some more dates? Don't get too excited just yet, as Onorato's comments come after the Britpop band's manager Alex McKinlay denied that more tour dates were going to be announced. In May, McKinlay told Music Week: 'This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to.' He added that there would not be any new material from Oasis: 'There's no plan for any new music.' Then came a response from Liam Gallagher, who took to X to contradict McKinlay's comments and reaffirm that only he and his brother call the shots when it comes to Oasis updates. 'The only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID (Noel) so let's just take it 1 day at a time.' He later doubled down on his stance, telling another fan who thought 'there must be a degree of truth' to the manager's comments that McKinley is 'the accountant' for the band. So, who knows right now... All mainland European fans have to do is pray to that Champagne Supernova in the sky and stay tuned for any possible extra tour dates. In other Oasis-related news, it was recently announced that the money made from Oasis' shows at Manchester's Heaton Park would be used to help fund grassroots music venues in the city. Indeed, the Manchester city council announced a £250,000 (€287,000) fund for local music venues – a move that comes amid worrying statistics about the UK's live music scene in recent years. Last year, it was shared that only 11 of the 34 grassroots venues that Oasis had previously performed in still remain open, and in 2023, it was revealed that the UK was set to lose more than 10 per cent of its grassroots music venues. The Oasis tour continues. After dates in in the UK and Ireland come stops in North and South America, Asia and Australia - ending (for the moment) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on 23 November.

Why landowners have introduced fee on this Italian hiking trail
High in the Italian Dolomites, a hiking trail on Seceda mountain has become a renowned place for taking dramatic shots of the spiky Odle Peaks. But its growing fame on social media is becoming a nightmare for residents of the area in South Tyrol. This summer, walkers and locals have been sharing images of the route jammed with queues of tourists waiting to take Instagram-worthy snaps. Some 8,000 people reportedly walked the path on a single day last week. Frustrations have grown to the point that local landowners have decided to take independent action and install a turnstile at the beginning of a trail. The move has been controversial, but it is highlighting a wider, growing issue of overtourism, poor visitor behaviour, and environmental damage in Italy's mountains. Farmers ask tourists to pay fee to hike scenic route At the beginning of July, a group of local farmers set up a turnstile with a toll on the Odle trail to protest against the constant passage of tourists who, they say, disrespect the area. "The trails are abandoned and the meadows are full of rubbish," they said in a statement. The turnstile was quickly deactivated by the Puez-Odle Nature Park authorities. However, in recent days, the system has been reinstated. The landowners said in a statement that the initial installation of the turnstile was primarily intended as a provocation - or a 'cry for help' as local newspaper Il Dolomiti describes it. However, since receiving no contact from 'political representatives, associations, or organisations", they chose to reactivate the system. Anyone who wishes to hike along the route is asked to pay a €5 fee - children and residents excluded. There is a person present to take payments, which can be made by cash or card. The landowners say they have been obliged to charge a toll to compensate for the damage to their land and to fund their upkeep of the slopes. Mountain associations denounce the turnstile Local tourism associations and mountain guides have weighed in on the debate, with many denouncing the landowners' move. "If from one day to the next every landowner imposed a toll, what would happen?" Tullio Mussner, president of the Lia da Mont association, told local news outlet L'Altramontagna. There are reportedly now staff members of the tourism association Dolomites Val Gardena posted at the turnstile to inform visitors that it is not mandatory to pay the requested fee. They also direct hikers to an alternative, slightly longer route that bypasses the gate and still reaches the famous panoramic viewpoint of the Odle Peaks. The organisation is reportedly preparing an information sign to be placed next to the turnstile, clarifying that it is a private initiative and indicating the way to the alternative route. Greater regulation of tourism is needed in the Dolomites Others, including local residents, say the provocative move by landowners has been useful. Carlo Alberto Zanella, president of the South Tyrolean branch of the national hiking association Club Alpino Italia (CIA), told local newspaper Salto, 'it serves to bring a real problem to public attention.' He said visitors walk through or cycle across the meadows bordering the trail, spoiling the fields and their crops before the farmers can harvest. 'You need education about how to respect the environment. That's the point.' Local tourism groups also acknowledge that overcrowding is partly due to a lack of regulation by provincial authorities. Mussner called for local farmers to be financially compensated for summer tourism, as is done in winter for owners of land crossed by ski slopes. This is particularly urgent given the booming interest in mountain destinations amid boiling European summers. According to research by the Demoskopika Institute, for the second consecutive year, South Tyrol is one of the destinations in Italy most exposed to tourist overcrowding, on a par with Venice. Is Apple to blame for the Seceda mountain's popularity? Some say the culprit of this area's popularity is the technology company Apple. It used a photograph of the Seceda mountain as the official wallpaper for its iOS 7 operating system a decade ago. Two years ago, it featured the Seceda again in a short promotional video during the iPhone 15 launch event. Local groups say the result of that involuntary publicity was a huge increase in visitors, often driven by the desire to just take a few photos of the views and then leave. They also say that the cable car from Ortisei that takes passengers to the summit is exacerbating the problem. The route has also seen intense overcrowding, with local guides warning visitors to arrive early in the morning to avoid the lengthy queues. Some tourism and environmental groups are now calling for a price increase in summer or even its complete closure in peak season to prevent the unsustainable influx of visitors. The company that operates the cable car has instead proposed tripling its capacity amid much controversy and fears of stoking the overtourism problem.

Adding to the significance, Giorgio Armani will celebrate his 50th anniversary with a landmark show. As the Spring/Summer 2026 women's ready-to-wear season shifts from Paris to Milan, anticipation is building for one of the most exciting fashion weeks in recent years. The Milan calendar, running from September 23 to 29, is packed with momentum: 12 new names are joining the schedule, balancing out 11 absences and injecting fresh energy into the week. Among the highlights are hotly awaited returns, buzzworthy emerging labels, and game-changing debuts from new creative leads at Gucci, Jil Sander, and Bottega Veneta. Adding to the significance, Giorgio Armani will celebrate his 50th anniversary with a landmark show. Milan will host 55 physical runway shows this season—slightly more than February's 54—including two from Emporio Armani. The week wraps on Monday, September 29, with four digital showcases featuring Maxivive and three newcomers: Mein Corp by Italian designer Lorenzo Sala, Ukrainian label Nadya Dyzak (launched in 2008), and Zenam by Cameroonian designer Paul Tanonkou, previously featured on the menswear calendar. Gucci will open Milan Fashion Week on Tuesday, September 23, with Demna unveiling his first collection for the house. Although included in the official calendar, the debut will take the form of a presentation rather than a runway show. During Kering 's half-year results, Francesca Bellettini, Deputy Managing Director for House Development, stated that the artistic director will share 'his vision and a complete collection presented in a static way to remind people what Gucci is all about.' Demna will stage his first runway show for the brand in March 2026. Simone Bellotti will present his debut collection for Jil Sander on Wednesday, September 24. Later that week, on Saturday, September 27, Louise Trotter will reveal her first collection for Bottega Veneta, which will return to the calendar after its absence last February. Fendi will continue its centennial celebrations on the same day with a mixed-gender show curated by Silvia Venturini Fendi. Giorgio Armani will begin marking his anniversary earlier in the week, on September 24, with the opening of a major retrospective at the Pinacoteca di Brera, featuring 150 archival looks. He will then close Fashion Week on Sunday, September 28, with a celebratory show in the courtyard of honor at Palazzo Brera. Versace will step away from the runway this season as it undergoes a transition under new creative director Dario Vitale. Now part of the Prada Group, the house will stage its first official runway show under Vitale next winter. However, it will remain in the presentation calendar with a 'confidential' event on September 26, previewing the designer's first looks. KNWLS will make its Milan debut on Wednesday, September 24. Known for its sexy, Y2K-inspired silhouettes and focus on feminine empowerment, the London-based brand has built strong momentum in recent years. English designer Charlotte Knowles and her Canadian partner Alexandre Arsenault founded the label in 2017. A finalist for the 2022 LVMH Prize, KNWLS now appears in more than 50 top multi-brand retailers worldwide. Several designers will return to the Milan schedule this season after recent absences, including Boss, Calcaterra, Federico Cina, The Attico, and Stella Jean. Anglo-Nigerian designer Ineye Tokyo James, who first showed in Milan in February 2022 and returned in digital format last March, will also be back. Vietnamese designer Phan Dang Hoang, who debuted in September 2024, will return to the calendar as well. Indian designer Dhruv Kapoor and French designer Pierre-Louis Mascia, both previously shown on the menswear schedule, will shift to the women's week. The Milano Moda Graduate show will return on Sunday, September 28, for its 11th edition, spotlighting emerging talent from Italian fashion schools. A day earlier, on Saturday, September 27, the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards will honor leadership in eco-conscious fashion. Launched in 2017 by the Italian Fashion Chamber, the awards have become a benchmark in sustainable innovation. This summer edition will also see several brands step away from the schedule. In addition to Versace, both Marni and Bally will remain absent as they undergo creative transitions. Fiorucci will now appear on the Men's Fashion Week calendar, having shifted its showing to June. Other brands missing from the provisional lineup include Avavav, which had shown in Milan since September 2023; Susan Fang, who presented last March with support from Dolce & Gabbana; and Philipp Plein, K-Way, and DSquared2. Despite these absences, Milan Fashion Week will continue to showcase the strength of Made in Italy. Powerhouse labels such as Prada, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, and Max Mara will lead a calendar that remains among the most influential in global fashion.
