Why Can’t Italy’s Economy Get Into Gear? Consider the Taxi Line

Updated Dec. 26, 2023 12:04 am ETMILAN—Finding a taxi in Italy’s financial capital when it is raining involves long lines and patience.

Pharrell Williams Brings Louis Vuitton to Hong Kong for Fashion Show

HONG KONG—For one night only, this city’s famed promenade along the waterfront was converted into a sandy shoreline. Louis Vuitton, the Parisian luxury powerhouse, staged a glitzy fashion show in Hong Kong Thursday evening, with a front row studded by Chinese celebrities, music by the brand’s menswear creative director Pharrell Williams and models marching along the fabricated seaboard in sailor uniforms and surfer wetsuits. The blowout affair—Louis Vuitton’s first show in Hong Kong—asserted LVMH’s commitment to courting Chinese shoppers and projecting confidence in what is one of the world’s largest markets for luxury goods.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Secrets to Buying—and Styling—the Best Distressed Leather Jacket

ON AN OCTOBER AFTERNOON during Paris fashion week, model Gigi Hadid was spotted in a beat-up leather jacket. Did she pull it from the mother lode of vintage clothes in her famous-model mom’s closet? Mais non! The pre-distressed bomber (above) came from reliable chain store Mango and can be yours for $600, according to the brand’s website.“It’s funny.

But it’s also a place with so many sad stories because of the gambling aspects. You’ve got this litany of amazing artists that have spent a lot of time—Elvis to Frank Sinatra and the whole Rat Pack era. But there’s also the Atomic City phase, where people could come and see the bombs being tested in the Nevada Test Site in the ’50s. These were televised events. So it's a very crazy place.Paul McCartney was at the Sphere show. Did you get a chance to talk to him afterward?We did for a few minutes.What was his reaction to the show?Well, he loved it.Another thing that was unique about your performance was that your bandmate Larry Mullen, Jr...

Were the 1990s Sexy? Designers in Milan Say Yes

Listen to article(2 minutes)“I don’t remember anything!`” joked Donatella Versace, discussing the 1990s at a preview of her spring runway show in Milan. Of course, she does, which is why next season’s collection was built around the year 1995—a time she described as a turning point for both the house of Versace and for fashion at large, when styles became “more minimalist” and “cleaner.” Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
