The collection featured couture made from muslin "toiles" as well as intricate embroidery and needlework in gold, silver and bronze. Thom Browne (which has, since 2018, been part of Zegna group who own a 90% stake) is also a ready-to-wear business currently offered in over 300 department-stores and boutiques across 40 countries, as well as in 110 Thom Browne retail stores. “I like to entertain and to ground it in beautifully made clothes.”"The work in progress becomes the final work... Couture," wrote Thom Browne in their show notes, of the decision to use toile in the collection. Kristy Sparow/Getty ImagesPerhaps surprisingly for a couture collection, it was muslin — the simple, lightweight cotton used to create initial mock-ups of clothes (called “toiles”) at ateliers — that comprised much of Browne’s finished pieces.

Maunakea's two largest positions are in Venezuela and Argentina, which Durand considers among "the most attractive and compelling" trades he has ever placed. Elections are expected to be held on 28 July which will be a key moment for investments in the country, according to the fund manager. However, the fund manager is optimistic that Argentina will reverse its economic woes. The next trade Durand said he is eyeing Bolivia, once a market darling that has recently experienced significant problems, for opportunities as its bonds start to trade at discounted levels.

As a painter of the natural world for more than five decades, Kay WalkingStick says it is impossible not to be influenced by the 19th-century Hudson River School’s majestic depictions of the American landscape. “They were selling the American landscape as empty and of course it was not empty; it was populated,” said Ms. WalkingStick, who in her bold, pared-down painting style revisits similar vistas on which she overlays geometric patterns used by the Native tribe connected to that specific land. “I think of it as a reminder that we’re all living on Indian Territory.”The exhibition “Kay WalkingStick/Hudson River School” opens Friday at the New-York Historical Society. It is the 88-year-old Cherokee artist’s largest museum show so far in New York City, where she received her M.F.A. “I wanted to see our Hudson River School collection through Kay’s eyes and how her work helps us to reinterpret the history of landscape painting in North America,” said Wendy Nalani E. Ikemoto, the museum’s senior curator of American art and a Native Hawaiian.

Not from the heights that Australia has reached in its home World Cup, beating France to reach a first semifinal, but from the winding, coiling, nauseating road it took to get there. The game itself was fraught enough, the goal-less stalemate of the score line belying more than two hours in which the balance of power hopped back and forth: France started well, composed and inventive, only for Australia to wrestle control. It was not an evening defined by patterns of play so much as storm surges, and the ability to withstand them. France missed its first kick, with Australia goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold denying Selma Bacha. Ève Périsset, introduced specifically to take a penalty, missed France’s fifth; Arnold, the goalkeeper, stepped up to win it.

July 27 (Reuters) - Forvia's (FRVIA.PA) shares fell as much as 8% in early trading on Thursday, after a slight hike to the car parts maker's annual targets failed to impress investors. The world's seventh-largest automotive supplier raised its estimate for global auto production to around 86 million light vehicles this year, from 82 million previously. It forecast 2023 sales of 26.5-27.5 billion euros ($29.4-30.5 billion), up from an earlier range of 25.2-26.2 billion. Global automotive production grew more than 10% in the first half of the year, on sustained demand and gradual improvement in semiconductors supply, CEO Patrick Koller said in a statement. Forvia's half-year operating profit jumped nearly 70% to 675 million euros, but was 2% below analysts' consensus estimates, according to a research note by J.P.Morgan.
