A Week In The Life of Egyptian Fashion Designer Aleiy Al Zayan
Some days he's the divo. Some days the director. Most days, he's both, in head-to-toe linen and four tabs deep into a new idea. Aleiy Al Zayan designs like someone who knows the difference between drama and noise. A scenography graduate, he cut his teeth building sets that knew how to hold a story — and he's been dressing characters, real or imagined, ever since. As head designer at Egyptian brand BE-INDIE, Aleiy has helped shape it into something Cairo didn't know it needed: fashion that thinks, broods a little, and occasionally flirts. His background is as layered as his silhouettes. One week he's styling a music video, the next he's coaxing a staircase into just the right state of disarray for a shoot. At BE-INDIE, he's collaborated with studios like Form and Rizo, consulted on editorials, and dressed talents like Naïka for the Unzipped Festival. Independently, he's modelled for photographers, worked with UK artist Cktrl, taken on styling projects with local brands like Almah — and a few hush-hush names best left to the group chat. All of it delivered with precision and never posturing of course. Aleiy's work isn't trying to escape Cairo; it's in conversation with it — its heat, its noise, its brilliance. Some days he's the divo. Some days the director. Most days, he's both, in head-to-toe linen and four tabs deep into a new idea. This week on Scene Styled Selects, we handed the mic to Aleiy Al Zayan — designer, set whisperer, occasional stylist, and full-time Cairo divo — for a glimpse into what a week of fashion, fabric, and perfectly-timed exits actually look like. A Typical Monday at the Office 'I love a serious look - clean and precise. But I'm just as serious about colour. I added a cheeky little ring as a reminder: just because you're in a smart fit doesn't mean you have to take yourself too seriously. You're a colour clown, remember.'

That's cheeky! Dina Broadhurst shows off her trim figure in tiny booty shorts as she goes shopping in Paddington
Dina Broadhurst left little to the imagination as she stepped out in Sydney on Sunday. The 'nude artist', 48, showed off her trim figure in tiny grey booty shorts as she went shopping in Paddington. The glamorous socialite completed her look with a matching coloured top and wore a pair of brown sneakers as she visited local stores. Dina left her long brunette locks out and appeared to be make-up free as she glanced at her phone during the outing. She held an Acne Studios shopping bag as she walked to her car after visiting the store. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The sighting comes after Dina was spotted reconnecting with her ex-boyfriend Tony Benjamin during a low-key meet-up in Bondi last week. The pair, who made headlines in 2023 when their steamy romance came to light, appeared relaxed and at ease as they enjoyed coffee and conversation in the sun. They then hit Body by Berner for a Pilates session. At one point, the former couple were seen sharing a hearty laugh, with Dina beaming as she leaned across the table. Later, they left the café together and appeared deep in conversation. Their public reunion is sure to raise eyebrows among fans who remember their tumultuous history. Dina and Tony were first linked in early 2023, with the pair quickly becoming fixtures on Sydney's social scene. However, their whirlwind romance took a dramatic turn just months later when it was revealed Tony had split from his wife Shannon Benjamin, following his relationship with the Bondi-based artist. The saga sparked a wave of headlines, with sources close to the couple claiming the relationship had 'fizzled out' just as quickly as it began. In August last year, Dina fuelled speculation of a new romance when she posted a steamy Instagram photo of herself sunbaking in a bikini while a mystery man – believed by some to be Tony – caressed her back. However, she kept mum about her relationship status, never confirming whether she had rekindled things with her former flame. The high-society beauty has been romantically linked to some of Sydney's richest and most powerful men, but Dina doesn't like to be tied down these days. Most recently, she was once again spotted cosying up to John Winning Jr., known to his friends as Herman. In a huge love life twist, the pair were recently spotted on a double date in Coogee with cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne, the exclusive details of which were revealed by Mail+. Their shock outing came after Dina was also romantically tied to her boy toy Kengi - a former Love Island star who is, at 23, less than half her age. The pair secretly linked up in Paris, with Dina doing her best to keep him hidden from the public eye. But after Daily Mail Australia revealed their secret tryst, she began sharing steamy snaps online from their five-star Parisian love nest. However, upon her return to Australia, Dina sought comfort in the arms of ex-boyfriend John Jr., sparking speculation about whether they were back together. Her fling with Kengi followed her blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to Chile for some fun with John Jr., who seems to be her go-to on-again-off-again boyfriend. She and John Jr. originally began dating in March last year, but they broke up in early December on the morning of the wedding of Bernadette Fahey and Jordan Sukkar. The pair were both expected to attend the couple's Scots College wedding, but when Dina rocked up solo, the high-profile guests knew something was amiss. Sources revealed at the time Dina came to the realisation their lifestyles were not compatible after eight months together. John Jr. is the son of appliances mogul John Winning Sr. and his family is worth an estimated $700million.

Acne Studios SS26 Menswear: A Study in Modern Masculinity
Summary Acne Studioshas launched itsSpring/Summer 2026menswear collection, continuing its exploration of masculinity. The collection merges sharp sportswear elements with nostalgic and academic aesthetics, creating a sense of garments passed through generations. This season, the focus is on an intuitive, spontaneous and unbothered way of dressing, moving away from last season's pursuit of sartorial perfection. Jonny Johansson, Acne Studios creative director, notes the 'geeky, quietly confident attitude that beats perfection' as the core of this collection's charisma. It features silhouettes that range from stretched and shrunken to elongated and oversized. Trousers have the volume of jogging bottoms, while shorts are abbreviated and a narrow, boot-cut pant evokes a vintage feel. The 1970s serve as a significant influence, seen in elongated collars on narrow shirting, touches of silk and the new slim-cut '1979' jeans. The '2010' jeans, a straight-leg, low-waist style, are introduced in a new 'mended' iteration. Accessories, including aviator sunglasses, logo caps, cowboy boots and the reimagined Camero bag, contribute to a sense of self-expression. 'We keep exploring and rebuilding the emblematic codes of the menswear wardrobe,' Johansson said in a statement. 'This time, it's with a geeky, quietly confident attitude that beats perfection by far. Our character is cool and unbothered – that's where his charisma comes from.'

‘You Need to Sacrifice a Lot to Be Good': Acne Studios's Jonny Johansson on the Power of Control
This article originally appeared on Vogue Business. To receive the Vogue Business newsletter, sign up here. 'My advice to people who want to have companies that do what we do is this: control is the only thing that is crucial.' Jonny Johansson, founder and creative director of Acne Studios, is speaking before tomorrow's showroom presentation for its Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection. That collection will be the first manifestation in product of Acne's 30th-anniversary year: in a very different form to its current incarnation, the brand was created back in 1996, when Johansson was just 25. The anniversary is not yet front of mind for Johansson. For now, he's engaged with more imminent demands on his creative control of a company that in 2024 estimated its revenues at between €300 million and €350 million. As well as the new collection, this Paris menswear week will see Acne Studios open a 'sort of gallery' in the Palais Royal space that became its first-ever Paris store back in 2008. Acne Studios menswear SS26. That collection will be the first manifestation in product of Acne's 30th-anniversary year. Photo: Courtesy of Acne Studios The gallery will be a conceptual extension of Acne Paper, the well-regarded biannual magazine the brand founded in 2004 under the editorship of Thomas Persson. The title, in print until 2014, was revived in 2021 as a book, and has since returned to annual publication. Says Johansson of the new space: 'It's a place for the collaborators of Acne Paper to show themselves, and maybe start some new creative adventures. They should think about it as a new kind of blank page, with no gallery pressure.' Palais Royal closed as a store a few months ago in order to make room for the new gallery. Its operations have been folded into those of Acne Studios's two more recently opened Paris stores: one on Rue Saint-Honoré, the other on Rue Froissart in Le Marais. But Palais Royal remains an emblematic address for the brand.

In Milan, the preppy pop man of Fiorucci, the inmate of PDF
From a school playground to a prison yard; that's a move that only fashion could make, which it did on Friday evening in Milan, with a sense of humor and casualness. As the heat began to fade, the last two shows of the day shook up Fashion Week, dedicated to the men's collections for Spring/Summer 2026. Two colorful shows offering two totally opposed universes. Fiorucci 's fresh, pop spirit versus PDF's flamboyant, prison-like street style. Fiorucci invited guests to the large courtyard of its Milanese HQ on Friday, in a child-friendly atmosphere with hopscotches chalked on the cobblestones, pop posters pasted on the walls, and large azure sheets decorated with small white clouds hanging from one building to another. The hubbub of children playing outside accompanied guests until the start of the fashion show, which from the outset focused on lightness and carefreeness in a clearly playful vein. For next summer, the Fiorucci men's wardrobe revisits the codes of preppy style in a palette of blue, red, and white, but in a cool, sexy, and slightly romantic version. This man comes dressed in white socks and shorts and a navy sweater. But fringes rippled down his sides, and the rose in his buttonhole was made of red recycled plastic, with a pretty poodle with a sugared-pink bow in a jacquard pattern. Long leather fringes fell sideways down loose white pants, in reference to an archival model by founder Elio Fiorucci. The silhouette was elongated with close-fitting garments. Sweatpants mould the legs, while white cardigans with red and navy braids shrink or were adorned with a heart. Dark blazers were worn over bare-belly tank tops, and jeans were worn in triplicate, protruding from each other at waist height. A canvas shirt-and-pant ensemble was dotted with little poodles. This was definitely the motif of the season. It's everywhere, including on a sky-blue ruffled maxi dress. For women, creative director Francesca Murri mixed and matched polka dots and large stripes, notably in silk midi skirts, blouses, or strapless mini-dresses. Chunky, ruffled leather belts gave volume to the waist on leggings or skin-tight jumpsuits. Fiorucci's early 1980s white-and-red-striped marinière t-shirt was painted onto a model's torso, in a lovely trompe-l'oeil collaboration with artist Janina Zais. "These two years have enabled us to reposition the brand in an accessible luxury segment, where we can compete with brands like Acne Studios or Jacquemus, but with prices 20% lower. Our denim pieces, in particular, are enjoying great success on our e-shop," confided Alessandro Pisani, the brand's general manager, who intends to test the retail channel next year with the opening of pop-ups in Milan, London, and Paris. A change of register with PDF, the sought-after streetwear brand founded in 2023 by Italian designer Domenico Formichetti, which made its debut on the Milanese catwalks last January. In the large courtyard of what looked like a penitentiary, a barbed-wire fence stood in front of one of the yellow cell vans typical of American prisons. Inmates in T-shirts and baggy pants with large black and white stripes played a game of cards or chess in a corner, while others kicked a ball around a basketball hoop or work out, showing off their tattoos. The stage was set. The "Free-Dom" show imagined by Domenico Formichetti could begin. For the designer, the idea was to free the thoughts, ideas, and creativity often locked away in one's head. With beanies or caps secured on their heads, his bad boys wore baggy pants or shorter-legged but very baggy styles, as well as oversized jogging suits that fell below their buttocks, allowing their underpants to protrude, with t-shirts or sweatshirts featuring crazy graphics. The prison theme ran through the collection, with wide stripes inspired by American prison uniforms. Pants and jackets were also printed with brick mosaics reminiscent of prison walls. They also sported leather jackets and vinyl ensembles, Varsity jackets, and terrycloth American football jerseys. Originally from Chieti in central Italy's Abruzzo region, Formichetti moved to Milan twelve years ago. Before PDF, he founded his first streetwear brand, Formy, a little more basic, which he stopped in 2022 to embark on this new adventure. His new brand, made in Italy in his native region, has won over some sixty multi-brand retailers worldwide, as well as rappers.
