Delta Is Making Business Class Chicer With Custom Amenities From an Iconic Italian Designer
Delta Air Lines is partnering with luxury Italian fashion brand Missoni to create a bedding set specifically designed for the carrier, with a Missoni duvet and sleeping pillow with a distinct zigzag design. The Delta One Collection will also include an expanded amenity kit, custom socks, navy slippers, and a lightweight and breathable eye mask.
For flights that are longer than 12 hours, Delta is also introducing a memory foam cuddle pillow, and is slated to offer its popular mattress pad that doubles as a lumbar pillow on all Delta One flights. The introduction of the Missoni-branded Delta One Collection will begin to roll out this summer and will be on all Delta One flights by the end of the year.
Delta One's lie-flat seats are spacious and have direct aisle access, and their popular mattress pad has already been available on flights over 12 hours long.
'In travel, every moment matters—not just where you're going, but how you get there,' Mauricio Parise, V.P. of brand experience at Delta Airlines, said in a statement shared with Travel + Leisure . 'We want you to savor your time in the air, which is why we are intentional about each detail of the customer experience to create a sense of home in every space, which is instantly elevated with Missoni's iconic, signature designs. Our new Missoni collection will help you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and ready for the journey ahead.'
Later this year, the airline will also introduce Missoni-branded slippers for their flights. The refreshed amenity kits, in shades of cream and navy, will be available in the fall and will include Grown Alchemist skincare products, a bamboo toothbrush, Marvis toothpaste, earplugs, and more.
'We know nothing compares to sleeping in the comfort of your own bed,' Parise said in the statement. 'However, when we set out to re-think the in-flight sleep experience, we focused on offering customers the same luxurious sleep experience you might get in a high-end hotel.'
The new offerings are influenced by customer surveys, in-flight tests, and Delta-conducted research to determine what customers care about most with their sleep experience in the sky.

Adventure begins at home for architecture buffs who want to explore the Elgin area
If a staycation is on the schedule for this summer, Explore Elgin has created an 'Architecture Adventure' designed to appeal to residents and visitors alike. The three-day itinerary is one of nine tours that tourism branch of the Elgin Area Convention and Visitors Bureau put together to encourage people to check out what the city and its environs has to offer. Each itinerary includes places to stay, dine and explore in the communities it receives funding to promote: Elgin, Bartlett, Burlington, Carpentersville, East Dundee, Gilberts, Hampshire, Pingree Grove, Sleepy Hollow, South Elgin and West Dundee. While other 'adventures' encourage visits to places with scenic beauty, great fishing, underground art and other attractions, the architecture tour is designed for those wanting to dive into the history of the Elgin area through its buildings. 'The area has several unique buildings and beautiful architectural features that call us back to a different time and place,' said Mary Dulabaum, the convention and visitors bureau's marketing and community outreach manager. 'We try to call attention to remarkable and unusual buildings, often raising awareness of some locations that even long-term residents may not know about,' she said. 'We also highlight locations where the current owners are willing to have the attention and even offer tours.' If you follow the suggested three-day itinerary, it will recommend a visit to BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a Hindu temple in Bartlett, on the first day. Dulabaum calls the traditional place of worship that opened in 2005 a must-see. It was built in the traditional style using hand-carved Italian marble and Turkish limestone, she said. No trip to Elgin is complete without a trip to downtown historic district, which has architecture dating back to the 1800s, Dulabaum said. Its architectural highlights include the Elgin Tower building, Elgin Professional building and Elgin National Watch Co. Observatory. Day two takes visitors to the Elgin History Museum located in 'Old Main,' a Greek Revival-style building that dates back to 1856 and features exhibits illuminating different aspects of the city's development and changes over the years. Another recommendation is the Elgin Public Museum and Lord's Park pavilion in Lords Park. The museum, with exhibits on natural history and anthropology, was built in 1907 and is the oldest museum building in Illinois still in use as a museum. After that, head out to Hampshire to see the only farmhouse designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Tours of the Muirhead Farmhouse are available but must be made online with a three-day notice. On the third day, take a walking tour of the homes listed on the National Register of Historic Places found in the city's historical districts, which run the gamut from painted ladies to houses ordered through the Sears catalog. 'Our main priority is to call attention to destination-style architecture that we think visitors would drive in to see,' Dulabaum said. '(The idea is to) lead someone who is not familiar with our area around so they can explore. We want them to spend a weekend exploring our region and have so much to do that they stay overnight in one of our hotels.' Explore Elgin's Architecture Adventure itinerary is available on its website, and as part of the convention and visitors bureau's new brochure.

Designer Debuts Overtake Milan SS26 Schedule & US Tariffs Rattle Brands in This Week's Top Fashion News
Milan Fashion Week, running from September 23 to 29, will feature several highly anticipated creative director debuts for Spring 2026, includingDemnaforGuccion September 23,Simone BellottiforJil Sanderon September 24,Dario VitaleforVersaceon September 26, andLouise TrotterforBottega Venetaon September 28. Later, at 7 pm,Armaniwill celebrate its 50th anniversary on an evening runway at Palazzo Brera — in the heart of Milan's design district. The major milestone for the legendary Italian house will also be preceded by two Emporio Armani shows on September 25. A new trade deal between the US and the EU will impose a 15% tariff on most European goods, a measure that is expected to harm the luxury fashion industry's recovery fromlower sales. This new duty, though lower than the 30% tariff previously threatened by Trump, adds pressure to brands like Gucci,Chanel, andLouis Vuitton, which have already faced a recent decline in consumer demand. With luxury brands having increased prices by an estimated 33% between 2019 and 2023, the new tariff could force them to raise prices further — by an estimated 2% in the US — to maintain profit margins. Some luxury houses are already exploring alternative strategies, such asLVMHopening new factories in the US, to mitigate the tariffs' effect and avoid alienating price-burdened shoppers. adidasis among the sportswear purveyors warning of impending price hikes in the United States, warning that new tariffs could add up to $230 million USD to its costs. The company's CEO, Bjørn Gulden, stated that the tariffs would directly raise the cost of products for the US market and that the company is assessing its product assortment to determine which items will be impacted. While adidas plans to keep prices stable on its well-known models like theSambaandGazelleas long as possible, newer silhouettes are likely to get a price hike. The company is also concerned about how these price hikes will affect consumer demand, especially as other sectors react to similar pressures from trade reforms. Hermèscontinues to defy the luxury slowdown, reporting a 9% sales jump in Q2 2025. While many competitors are seeing dwindling demand, particularly from aspirational shoppers, Hermès' strategy of price increases and maintaining exclusivity has proven successful. TheBirkinbag-maker's sales reached €3.9 billion in Q2, driven largely by its core leather goods division, a category that competitor LVMH is seeing decline in. A global price hike, topped with another 5% increase in the US, is expected to offset the new tariffs. The brand's strong performance, which has led to Hermès's overtaking LVMH as the world's most valuable luxury stock, is attributed to the house's careful approach to production and its loyal customer base. Pharrellhas unveiled a new Louis Vuitton Fall 2026 menswear capsule, a cross-seasonal collection set to hit the shelves in September. The range reimagines the classic 'dandy' through a contemporary, collegiate lens that combines Ivy League aesthetics with a relaxed sensibility. Inspired by university life on both sides of the Atlantic, the collection features an academia-inspired color palette with pops of bold hues and patterns. Outerwear is a key focus for the designer this season, showcasing structured wool blousons, jacquard coats, and camel jackets. The line also introduces new takes on the Louis Vuitton monogram, a tartan-style pattern on flannel and denim, and a reworking of the brand's iconic floral design. American skiing hub, Aspen, Colorado, will be the next location forMonclerGrenoble's outdoor runway presentation. Following up on its March show at the French Alpine ski resort of Courchevel, Aspen will mark the label's first show at a US ski destination. Moncler announced its US-based Grenoble show after its H1'25 earnings report last week, which showed a 1% decline in Q2 revenue, attributed to lower tourist spending in Europe and Japan. While revenue in Europe and the Middle East dropped 8%, sales in the Americas were a stronghold, hence the label's renewed focus on the US. The Moncler Grenoble Fall 2025 show is set to take place on January 31, 2026, at an unrevealed location. LVMH is reportedly in talks to sell theMarc Jacobsbrand for an estimated $1 billion. This potential move is part of a larger strategy by the luxury conglomerate to streamline its portfolio and focus on its most profitable brands amidst a broader slowdown in the luxury market. LVMH's first-half 2025 financial results showed a significant drop in net profit and sales, fueling the decision. Potential buyers for Marc Jacobs, which LVMH has owned since 1997, are said to be brand management firms like Authentic Brands Group, Bluestar Alliance, and WHP Global. This follows LVMH's recent divestment of other contemporary labels likeOff-Whiteand its stake inStella McCartney, signaling a clear shift in the company's business model.
