For many England fans last night [Sunday 14 July] The UEFA European Football Championship ended in a disappointing 2-1 victory for Spain, but rather than focus on England’s defeat on the pitch, let’s focus on the triumph in the stands: Trami Benson, who saved his best performance of the tournament for the final game.

She’s attended every England game, and her ultra-stylish take on athleisure chic has garnered as much attention as Ollie Watkins’…

Few pieces in menswear exude as much charisma, legacy, or raw masculinity as leather jackets. Often linked with icons like punks, aviators, and Marlon Brando, the leather jacket stands as a testament to high-octane menswear. Moreover, it’s not just about the attitude; it’s one of the best leather jackets that seamlessly blends tradition with adaptability. Every discerning gentleman’s closet should boast of one. From time immemorial, men have adorned hides and skins, marking a primal connection to nature. However, the leather jacket, as we recognize it today, began making waves in the early 20th century. The skies saw aviators and…

Italy’s lush Veneto region is home to luxury fashion brands and world-class textile suppliers, but it also suffers from environmental pollution, with waterways polluted by “forever chemicals”.In the 1960s, textile group Marzotto set up a research centre in Trissino and began producing chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) for waterproof clothing. Initially called Limar and then Miteni, the company eventually changed hands and became a supplier to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries before going bankrupt in 2018 following a water pollution scandal. But experts say the damage to the environment will be permanent.Families in the provinces of Vicenza,…

It tucks into a small pocket in your collar, fits nicely in the palm of your hand when folded, and fits into a small pocket in your shorts or running belt. It’s…
