3 h. ago Prada gets political as Dolce & Gabbana make another racial misstep in Milan menswear show

Prada tailoring rejects ‘American corporate masculine power’, and Dolce & Gabbana is criticised for all-white cast Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the two designers behind Prada, are well aware that fashion is about more than clothes. However, backstage after their menswear show in Milan on Sunday, the duo admitted that the volatile present moment is a difficult one to translate to a collection. “You talk about the world now,” said Prada “or you talk about fashion The two things together, in this moment, are difficult.”The collection was, therefore, “uncomfortable”. Rather than meaning the clothes were not pleasant to wear – this is luxury fashion, after all – there were disparate elements put together in the same outfit: the top of a red sou’wester over a trenchcoat, for example, or a yellow scoop-neck jumper with cuffs of a shirt falling out the sleeve. (There were also some useful unexpected styling tips, such as wallets stuffed in a back pocket, or brightly coloured shoe laces...

3 h. ago Trump’s tariff shock suggests EU’s strategy of flattery and appeasement has failed

Next few weeks will show if Trump has finally pushed too far with Greenland levies, as calls grow for bloc to take tougher actionEurope live – latest updatesAs the sun set over the port of Limassol in Cyprus, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, last Thursday used a tried and tested formula to describe the United States – calling it one of “our allies, our partners”. Only 24 hours earlier, Denmark, an EU and Nato member state, had warned that Donald Trump was intent on “conquering” Greenland, but the reflex at the top of the EU executive to describe the US as a friend runs deep.Trump’s weekend announcement that eight countries that have supported Greenland would face tariffs unless there was a deal to sell the territory to the US was another hammer to the transatlantic alliance, mocking the notion that the US is Europe’s ally. The eight countries include six EU member states, as well as Norway and the UK, the latter unprotected by the much vaunted “special rela...
