The who's who in fashion are on the scene to witness Spring/Summer 2026 collections of the world's top designers — and Steve and Majorie Harvey are included amongst those in attendance. While on their way to the Amiri show in Paris on Thursday, June 26, Marjorie and Steve turned heads with their coordinated high fashion looks — but it was Marjorie and her runway walk to the awaiting car that had social media singing her praises. In a video posted to her Instagram, Marjorie is seen giving her best Naomi Campbell walk as she exits her hotel with Steve and gracefully getting into the car before flashing a winning smile — and made it look relatively easy in the process. In addition to attending the Amiri show, Marjorie and Steve were also amongst the A-listers who showed up for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2026 show, highlighting the latest menswear collection from creative director Pharrell Williams. The couple joined Beyoncé and Jay-Z sitting front row at the show, on Tuesday, June 24, according to Women's Wear Daily. During a 2014 appearance on his since-cancelled daytime talk show, Marjorie shared that one of the major things that she and Steve have in common is their joint love of fashion. 'As you know, you and I, that's one of the things we have in common, we both love fashion. I've been passionate about it all my life,' she said at the time. Outside of Fashion Week, the couple regularly shares their fashion sense online and at red carpet events throughout their 18-year marriage.

'Five thousand extra seats is a start' - your views on expansion plans
We asked for your views on the expansion plans for the City are some of your comments:Kevin: Mixed thoughts. Location is iconic so really want to stay. But parking and travel is already a nightmare. Is it worth it for £120+ million for only 5,000 extra seats?Martyn: There's always a struggle to get tickets since Forest moved up to the Premier League. Five thousand extra seats is a start, but they could have tried to extend it beyond 5,000 extra seatsLuke: Great news that it's going ahead, but I can't help but think that if we're doing it, why not go bigger and add more than 5,000 seats?Steve: Good news about the new stand but this time it needs to happen. We have thousands on the waiting list for season tickets who want to support the club. Let's get on with The stand does need upgrading I agree, but just 5,000 more seats. I don't know, it's a lot of money for what seems like little return for it. I am normally wrong so my opinions carry very little Stumbling blocks have been put up for years. It will drag on for years. Could and should have built a new stadium elsewhere. Love our ground but it's out-dated.

‘Familiar Touch' review: A coming-of-old-age story, compassionate and clear-eyed
The writer-director Sarah Friedland makes little mystery of her main character's circumstances in the first few minutes of 'Familiar Touch,' a plaintive triumph opening for a weeklong run at the Siskel Film Center. In a sunny Los Angeles apartment, framed by visual compositions allowing the superb Kathleen Chalfant the time and space to simply be, the character, Ruth, is making brunch for two. Her visitor arrives, a middle-aged man looking concerned, a little wary. Ruth is a couple of decades older than this man, Steve. We soon realize she does not know who Steve is, though earlier, when a piece of toast pops up from her toaster, she isn't quite sure what to do with it, placing it on the dish rack. Ruth is dealing with dementia. This day, starting with these carefully made 'signature sandwiches,' as Ruth calls them, is the day Steve, her son, played by with tact and subtlety by H. Jon Benjamin, will drive her and a single suitcase of her belongings, to the next part of her life. The assisted living facility goes by the fragrant name Bella Vista, with a memory care unit nicknamed 'Memory Lane' by the residents, as Ruth learns. Friedland, whose film won three prizes at last year's Venice International Film Festival, filmed much of 'Familiar Touch' in a Pasadena, California, continuing care retirement community, with the celebrated stage and screen veteran Chalfant working closely with its residents. Without exposition dumps or pressurized contrivance, Friedland reveals facets of Ruth's life, scene by scene, in the 85 minutes of screen time. Memories of Ruth's past float in and out of her present-tense existence. At one point, floating in the community pool, Ruth, her eyes closed, imagines a long-ago day at the beach, indicated by distant sounds of children playing and a fragment of a Coney Island carousel melody. A Flatbush Avenue native of Brooklyn, she's lost in reverie, and like all the shifting sands of orientation and disorientation shaping her world now, the memory comes. And goes. Cognizance of her surroundings, and the people in her life (Carolyn Michelle is very fine as residency staffer Vanessa), is fluid, not solid. There's a lovely mixture of orientation and disorientation at work in the scene where Ruth walks into the residency kitchen (she was a cook in her earlier years), ready to chop, eyeing the half-assembled fruit salad. An empathetic staffer does the best possible thing: He lets her work, asks her questions about food and life. Lunch that day turns out to be a little special. Freidland has no stomach for overt heartwarming or screw-tightening drama, though plenty happens. Matching wits with a residency doctor, or somewhat witheringly calling out a fellow resident for wearing a chip clip in her hair, Ruth comes to dimensional life, thanks to Chalfant. Having seen her in the world premiere of Margaret Edson's 'Wit' 30 years ago, delineating a very different character (a John Donne scholar) striking the best bargain she can with fast-moving cancer, it's a privilege to witness what Chalfant achieves with this character, in these distinct circumstances, never pushing, always illuminating. Friedland gets just a tad cute on us, near the end, in a Valentine's Day reunion of mother and son. Yet even that feels earned. The filmmaker's careful, just-so visual approach in 'Familiar Touch' allows for the space and the time for Ruth to regard where she is, who she is, who she was. In interviews Friedland has cited an array of international influences (including one of my favorites of the 21st century, Lee Chang Dong's 'Poetry') on her thinking. The result is an auspicious first feature, and I'd see it if I were you. 'Familiar Touch' — 3.5 stars (out of 4) No MPA rating (brief strong language) Running time: 1:30 How to watch: June 27 to July 3 at the Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State St.;

Scots grandad left with prosthetic voice box after GP dismissed cancer as 'sinus problems'
Steve Barton, 68, repeatedly contacted his local practice after he began struggling with his breathing and swallowing. A Scots grandad has been left needing a prosthetic voice box to speak after GPs dismissed his throat cancer as "sinus problems". Steve Barton, 68, repeatedly contacted his local practice after he began struggling with his breathing and swallowing. But despite his concerns, doctors continued to put his symptoms down as reflux. Weeks after an initial appointment Steve's voice changed and he reached out again. At that point, the practice failed to issue an urgent referral to a specialist. It wasn't until five months later – when things got so bad that Steve went private – that a tumour was discovered on his larynx and he was rushed to have part of his throat removed. Steve, from Alloa in Clackmannanshire, was forced to retire early from his career as a heating engineer and now has a permanent hole in his neck. The hole impacts his speech, daily tasks and social life. Steve said: 'I used to work hard, go line dancing, played golf and take the grandkids swimming but I can barely do any of that now. I can't allow water to get in the stoma in my neck or it could enter my lungs – the risk of drowning in the bath or shower is so serious that my wife has to accompany me . 'Then of course there's simply not talking normally and people staring. Angry, sad, frustrated, deflated, confused… I've felt everything you can feel. This whole affair changed everything about my life but the way the GP practice treated me – and ignored me – was simply disgusting.' Insurers for Tor Medical Group at Plean near Stirling, which owns the practice, have admitted liability after Steve got help from law firm Irwin Mitchell. A compensation sum is due to be agreed for the grandfather in the near future. The legal action against the firm alleges that Steve – who was a non-smoker - first contacted his GP in August 2020 after three months of documented issues of a sore throat and pain in his ear. One GP prescribed omeprazole after diagnosing acid reflux. One month later Steve was put in touch with a second GP and a nurse considered an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) referral but decided to treat themselves. After a few more weeks, the grandfather was told by Tor staff that they would make a referral. However, apparently due to 'human error', it didn't take place. In November 2020 Steve finally got a referral to the ENT but he was added to the non-urgent two-week waiting list. By January the following year, Steve was in so much pain and distress that he sought a private referral at Kings Park Hospital in Stirling where an ENT consultant spotted a lesion suspicious of cancer of the larynx. Steve then underwent a procedure to remove his entire voice box at Forth Valley Hospital. As a result, he has a stoma in his neck which he breathes through. The device needs to be cleaned and maintained up to 10 times per day. Everyday tasks like coughing, eating and washing have become problematic for the grandfather. Steve said: 'I try to stay positive and focus on what I've still got to be grateful for but it's tough because I remember what I had and who I was compared to the future I now have to accept which we never planned for.' His devoted wife of 17 years Heather Barton, 62, who works as a hairdresser and line dancing instructor, added: 'The GPs blamed each other, even the receptionist and a malfunctional computer. It felt like they just didn't care. Steve's life changed forever overnight. "It's been a long journey for Steve. If the GP surgery just said 'Yep, you're right, I'm sorry' we'd have moved on but we were met with a wall of silence so we had no option but to get help because Steve didn't deserve this. 'We're glad we got an admission of fault – someone to accept that what happened to Steve was wrong or negligent 'We trust our doctors and follow their guidance but if someone feels wrong then people can't be afraid to challenge the advice and use our right to a second opinion. With that in mind, we'd like to thank the staff at Forth Valley Hospital 's ENT Department who have looked after Steve and will likely continue to do so for the rest of his life. 'We're still lucky. We still have each other and we're together. But we feel like Tor robbed Steve and I of what were meant to be our relaxing years after a life of hard work and impacted his physical and mental health so it's right they are held accountable.' A medical negligence claim was lodged in the National Personal Injury Court where Steve's lawyers argued if he was treated properly from the start then it was likely he would never have needed such extensive surgery. An admission of liability was later received from the Medical and Dental Defence Union Scotland – a b ody which indemnifies GPs across Scotland – and the case continues to ensure a fair sum of compensation is secured. Izabela Wosiak, Senior Associate at Irwin Mitchell in Edinburgh, said: 'What happened to Steve was traumatic and life-changing but what's worse is how avoidable it was. Medical negligence claims are complex and many people feel scared challenging a health board but when people have been affected like this – and feel ignored by those they believe are responsible – it's right that they have a way to protect what future they have left, and help improve standards for others. 'Although the defenders have admitted liability in this action the case is still very much ongoing so it wouldn't be appropriate to comment further.'
