Today in Milan, Simone Bellotti will show his second collection as the creative director of Jil Sander. A few weeks back, he was in New York, not to finalize the clothes—which he says were largely locked by then—but to introduce the brand’s new campaign, alongside model Guinevere van Seenus. Van Seenus, who once starred in the Craig McDean-shot campaigns that defined Jil Sander in the ’90s, had also opened Bellotti’s debut show for the label.“It’s a brand that you really have to study,” he tells Nicole Phelps in this Wednesday’s episode of The Run-Through.For fall, Bellotti’s mood board is organized…

If you were watching the State of the Union address, and you’re an iPhone user, then toward the end of the speech, during President Trump’s recounting of the story of Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover, you might have had Siri triggered—assuming you have voice activation turned on. Gizmodo’s own Matt Novak brought it to my attention: This feature once required the user to say “Hey Siri” but now only requires “Siri.”  At least one other Bluesky user confirmed that she experienced the same thing. A user on X said the erroneous Siri trigger word was “serious” not “searing,” but the…

Inter are out of the UEFA Champions League after losing 5-2 on aggregate against Bodo/Glimt in the playoffs ahead of the knockout stages. The Norwegian team are playing in the elite European tournament for the first time in their history, but the Nerazzurri’s elimination isn’t a big surprise as it might look today. Cristian Chivu’s team lost 3-1 away in the first leg, but many thought the defeat had to do with the challenging pitch and the hostile Norwegian weather. That was not the case. Bodo/Glimt showed again on Tuesday that they are an organized team, and demonstrated why they…

Earlier this month, Discord said it would be enacting an age verification policy. The platform faced some initial concerns from users about turning over their IDs and personal information, particularly given how poorly similar policies have been going elsewhere. Discord announced today it will delay and make some changes to its plans in response to the ongoing backlash.The first change is that Discord is postponing the global rollout of its age verification plans until the second half of 2026.

Today, it seems every celebrity stylist, Substack writer, and fashion influencer says the key to a killer wardrobe is investing in basics–and the same goes for jewelry. These jewelry essentials (think: a stud earring or a tennis bracelet) are often seen as timeless, classic pieces that will never go out of style. The repeated sentiment is to build a capsule wardrobe, one that will transition seamlessly through each season of life. It’s practical advice and a rather sustainable way to shop, and while I don’t entirely disagree with this tip (my own personal wardrobe is largely based around blue denim…

Another big innovation for the Series 1 is its patented heating system. Most espresso machines use either boilers or thermoblocks to heat up the water that goes into espresso. Boilers have admirable stability, but take forever to get hot. Thermoblocks are near instant, but less stable.Fellow’s heating system falls somewhere in between, with a boiler supplemented by a thermoblock that heats water before it enters the boiler, and a heated group head that helps stabilize temperature at the portafilter. This theoretically offers the best of both worlds. It heats within 2 minutes (I clocked it) but also offers greater temperature…
