Ferragamo Resort 2026 Collection
Maximilian Davis is busy chasing his muse—the elusive blend of sprezzatura and sartorial sleight of hand known as Italian elegance. It's the art of looking effortlessly put-together, even when every fold, cuff, and color combination has been meticulously perfected in front of the mirror for hours. In essence, it's a kind of deceptive nonchalance, an attitude perhaps best embodied by a stylish Florentine flair, of which the Ferragamo archives offer abundant examples.
For resort, Davis time-traveled from the roaring '20s to the bold '80s, riffing on the idea of garments passed down through generations. The Ferragamos are more dynasty than family, so it's no surprise that he's drawn to the mythos of heirlooms, classic pieces he reworked through his signature sleek, minimalist lens. Slightly eclectic while keeping its polish, the collection set out to explore 'what defines a person's character,' as Davis put it. To that end, he looked to photographer Karen Knorr, whose portraits of women in private interiors—spaces layered with discordant styles—say as much about identity as they do about taste.
A zebra-print throw glimpsed in one of Knorr's photos sparked the collection's animalier thread—an unexpected jolt of wildness against the muted palette of waxed canvas, sun-faded linen, and rich, buttery-soft leather, crafted into lean city coats and relaxed, androgynous tailoring. A standout was a cocoa-and-black zebra-print dress with a pleated bodice and flounced skirt, worn with a shearling shrug that dialed up the '80s attitude. The animalier motif continued in a flowy caftan printed with what could be described as the 'faded memory' of crocodile skin. Another highlight was a series of slinky crepe de chine dresses in barely-there nude tones, each threaded with delicate lace inserts that nodded to the 1920s. Think lingerie reimagined as minimalist eveningwear, sensual but sharp, with fluid but intentional silhouettes.
Menswear took a quietly expressive turn, trading overt statements for nuance and precision. Black was swapped out for a deep, inky blue—Davis's nod to the understated sophistication of the Italian way of dressing. 'Navy is such a classic color I've discovered in Italy,' he noted; here, it grounded a soft jersey three-piece suit with a slouchy, relaxed feel, that blurred the line between tailoring and loungewear. The vibe was pajama dressing with purpose: unfussy and stripped of rigidity.

Barely half of this generation has seen ‘Jaws,' as Spielberg classic celebrates 50 years
Their cinema knowledge bites! Barely half of Gen Z has seen the original summer blockbuster 'Jaws' compared to nearly 90% of people who came of age when the classic flick hit the silver screen. Steven Spielberg's pulse-pounding shark thriller — which first struck fear into the hearts of beachgoers exactly 50 years ago Friday — has only been viewed by 53% of 18- to 29-year-olds, according to a jaw-dropping new Gallup poll. By contrast, 88% of people over 65 years old have sunk their teeth into the flick, which held the No. 1 box office spot for 14 weeks and was the first film ever to rake in $100 million. 3 Barely half of Gen Z has seen the movie 'Jaws', according to a new poll. AP Pollsters cited no specific reason for why the generation that brought you the word 'cringe,' Crocs-as-fashion and TikTok activism wasn't hip to the movie — but its 2 hour, 10 minute running time might be a hint. Overall, 91% of people ages 50 to 64 and 78% of 30-to-49-year-olds reported seeing the spine-tingling flick, which centers on a massive man-eater that unleashes chaos on Long Island beach town. When the movie was released on June 20, 1975, it made giant waves in the US with viewers saying it scared them away from the water and increased their fear of sharks. The film was such a hit with young people at the time, a whopping 40% of 18-to-29-year-olds said they'd seen it by the end of summer 1975, according to a Gallup poll taken that year. 3 A total of 78% of Americans reported seeing 'Jaws' as of May 2025. AP At the time, 18% of viewers called it 'the most frightening movie' they had ever seen and 35% said the movie increased their fear of swimming in the ocean, according to the poll. 3 The classic movie stoked fears about sharks and swimming in the ocean. AP The more recent poll, conducted in May ahead of the movie's anniversary, notes a total of 78% of all US adults have seen 'Jaws.' It's ultimately not clear if a 53% viewership among Gen Z adults is high or low for a 50-year-old film without more cinema data to compare it to, pollsters said.

I tried on 14 Old Navy dresses, jumpsuits and more under $50 — they make me feel comfortable and chic as a 48-year-old mom
There was a time in the early 2000s when everything I owned was from Old Navy. Flash forward to me at 48, and I still can't get enough of the dependable and always affordable brand. Their current summer collection is particularly on-point — something I learned when I decided to pop into the store on my way back from an emergency evening milk run (how do we go through it so fast!?). I tried on over a dozen items, and I wanted every single one of them. From casual dresses to cute jumpsuits, these all make me feel comfortable and chic, and all work for my busy life as a mom of two. The best part? Everything is currently under $50. Check out my summer style recommendations below. From $30 at Old Navy Whether you are looking for a comfy beach cover-up or a low-maintenance dress for running errands, this 100 per cent cotton T-shirt dress checks all the boxes. I tried this on in three colours, including classic black, and really liked the look and feel of them all. The slide slits also give it a little more of an edgy style while allowing you to move with (or chase) your kiddos. From $28 $40 at Old Navy I don't always love dresses that fall above the knee, but this mini with its side pockets was just too cute not to try. I was immediately drawn to the bright colourway and appreciated the wide adjustable straps. The 100 per cent viscose rayon fabric is curve-hugging without being too tight, and the fit-and-flare shape is super flattering — no wonder shoppers are calling this the "perfect summer dress." One thing? My usual size XS fit fine, but I found it to be a bit looser than I would like in the bust. $44 $55 at Old Navy I absolutely loved this dress. The fit, length and comfort were all off the charts. I tried it on in three different colourways and loved them all. Available in regular, tall and petite sizes, this dress is a great option for a variety of body types. With more than 1,600 five-star reviews, I'm not the only one raving about this "versatile" and "flattering" frock. From $27 $45 at Old Navy This 100 per cent cotton twill dress is so light and airy. The fabric feels great, and the sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulders depending on your mood and how much coverage you want. Again, I'm not the biggest fan of short hemlines, but I found the silhouette to be really flattering paired with longer sleeves. The hidden side pockets are, of course, an awesome bonus. From $38 $55 at Old Navy I've always wanted to be someone who could pull off a jumpsuit but never found one I felt comfortable in — until now. This linen/rayon number fits my smaller frame perfectly. I love the hip pockets, four-button front and adjustable straps. I will say it took a little muscle to get the fitted waist above my hips, and I wish it had a zip for easy on and off, but, good golly, did it look and feel great on. $44 $55 at Old Navy This easy-on, easy-off patterned midi dress was one of the most comfortable of the bunch. Of course, I loved the on-seam pockets and adjustable straps of this 100 per cent cotton twill dress. And the longer length is right up my alley! I was on the fence about the tie-front, but on this dress, it just seems to work. The dress totally gives off, as one customer says, a "romantic" and "summery" vibe. $35 $50 at Old Navy This dress is a perfect example of one that looks way better on than it does on the rack. The V-neck tie front is fun and sexy, and I love the look of the ruffled waist. The smocked bodice of this 100 per cent cotton twill dress also allows for a super comfortable fit. I never had a purple dress on my bingo card for summer, but this comfy one with pockets has totally won my heart. $24 $35 at Old Navy For me, it's all about bright colours this summer. The super soft rayon/spandex blend of fabric would fall nicely over my swimsuit or out and about for a casual day. The high neck provides great coverage, and with a cute pair of sandals or wedges, it's perfect for summer. It does appear to wrinkle easily, which can be a pain, so have a steamer handy when you're ready to wear. $31 $45 at Old Navy Me? In a romper? No way! I rarely wear shorts, but this one was too cute not to try. I love the cut-out in the middle, and the 100 per cent cotton fabric feels so great against my sensitive skin. The adjustable spaghetti straps allowed me to get the perfect fit on top. Consider me a convert! $30 $50 at Old Navy The collar of this linen/rayon dress is what drew me in. I loved the black, as well as a burnt orange hue called ginger. The button-down front is also a nice touch, and the side pockets are a great addition. This dress will work perfectly on those humid days when you want to look cute but don't want anything clingy. From $20 $25 at Old Navy I can see this "easy to wear" dress being a total go-to for me as a low-maintenance mom of two. I get a bit self-conscious about my mommy-middle, so I love that this dress is loose-fitting but still stylish and trendy. $31 $45 at Old Navy I've never owned anything gingham (seriously!) but this cheerful, sunny number is really tempting me. Just a note: I would recommend investing in some skin-toned underwear if you opt for this style, as the fabric is quite lightweight. $35 $50 at Old Navy This dress can take you from a day at the beach to a night out in a pinch. Humid days will be much more survivable while wearing this flowy frock. However, if you need a dress with more chest support, this might not be a fit for you. $50 at Old Navy The cushioned footbed of these platform wedge sandals makes them a ridiculously comfortable pair of sandals. As you may have spotted above, I tried them on with all the dresses and loved how they looked, but more importantly, how they felt. The faux leather straps don't rub against the skin, and I love an adjustable buckle. I sent my sister a picture of them, and she immediately texted back, "Get me a pair too!"

Can Art Basel and Treasure House Lure Collectors to Buy as They Once Did?
Eva Dichand belongs to a family of art collectors. Her father-in-law, Hans Dichand, who published Austria's largest-selling tabloid and died in 2010, had a major collection of Viennese art by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. In fact, Klimt's 1907 painting 'Danaë' now belongs to her husband, Christoph. Dichand — who in 2004 founded the free Austrian newspaper Heute — collects, too, and is on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's international council. She buys work by living artists such as the Swiss painter Miriam Cahn and the German painter Daniel Richter. Yet these days, Dichand said in a phone interview, she buys less, and less impulsively. A few decades ago, there was 'a lot of prosperity' in the West, she recalled. 'Everything was growing, and everybody was having good business, making more money,' she said, so people felt as if they could afford it. She went as far as spending millions each on works by Fernand Léger and Alexander Calder. Today, 'I don't make as much cash as I did 10 years ago,' she explained. The world is 'in a very negative mood right now, with all these wars and all these bombs going off in Tel Aviv and Tehran.' As a result, she said, 'you buy less, and think more about it, because you can't spend so much money anymore.' The art market is not what it used to be. First came the Covid pandemic, which paralyzed activity across the planet. Then came Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which sent energy prices soaring, setting off inflation and rising interest rates, and making it more expensive to buy art with borrowed money.
