Agbegnenou sitting first row at Musee Rodin included Charli XCX’s “Guess.” Maria Grazia’s collection stood out due to its neutral colors which were an important part of the styling of the clothes Dior’s collection celebrated the strength of the modern woman mixing tradition and innovation through every detail The athletic side of the collection included bathing suits and parachute pants with strategic zippers One of the distinctive elements of the line was the contrast between black and white and exaggerated “Miss Dior” logos One of my favorite looks was a loose pair of white pants a matching one-shouldered top and a blazer; to complete the look the model had a crossbody bag hanging from her back Some of the looks included fringes in skirts and blouses The eveningwear consisted of Greek-inspired tulle dresses with delicate drapes in a sandy color that seemed to float The models’ glam included having their hair pulled back with headbands and almost no makeup which gave a fresh sporty look to the girls offered a broad line of masculine suits for Spring 2025 with prominent shoulders and matching ties The models walked firmly down an outdoor runway set at the brand’s

history because it was the first one without a direct intervention by its founder although Van Noten did attend the event and sat first row The show was a display of textures that went from delicate lace to bright silks and satins which became one of the highest points of the show My favorite looks was a skirt with an irregular cut with a shirt all buttoned up The opening looks spanned from a faux snakeskin dress to skirts with tight bras and baseball jackets  One of the most striking characteristics was the oversized silhouette present in items like shirts with exaggerated necklines and long coats Asymmetric skirts added movement and modernity while details in lace balanced the structured and the ethereal The collection surprised the audience with a vibrant and deep color palette that included lime green while pale pinks and neutrals such as beige and olive green added an elegant balance This chromatic game created attractive contrasts which showed a versatility that included both the subtle and the bold Makeup followed the same colorful theme as the collection and it focused on the eyes The hair didn’t go unnoticed as well as it fell over the models’ faces in little strands in a wet style Rabanne presented its collection at the Palais de Tokyo in a show were creative director Julien Dossena combined luxury with an emotional tribute to the brand’s roots and the legendary French singer and muse the opening look worn by Gigi Hadid was one of the biggest moments The model wore a combination of stripes on stripes: short pants a shirt and a parka created in fabrics typical of male shirts The collection showed us looks that defied fashion’s limits a vibrant color palette and a modern interpretation of the iconic metallic mesh Dossena cut jackets with enormous shoulders but he cinched them on the sides and he combined that concept with silver skirts and even hooded sweatshirts One of my favorites were the art deco tops made of silver crystals combined with gauze pants Everything was combined with see-through plastic ankle boots or knee high wrinkly ones such as the one the model wore with a silver mesh dress with side cutouts Dossena offered many metallic items in a contemporary style without abandoning his fun futuristic self as seen in cocktail dresses and other metallic dresses combined with rigid elegant parkas which gave a high dose of romanticism to the collection In a show filled with luxury and nostalgia Rabanne presented not only exceptional clothing items but also one of the most expensive bags in the world: the iconic Nano bag the models had natural make up and their hair in a side part tied backwards to leave the faces clear to create a sophisticated look Balmain’s show included 46 outfits with shoulderpads

touch to the collection The show took place at the Palais de Chaillot the first row had celebrities like Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham The event began with a visual hit: high shoulders and volumes that were not only present in the top part of the body which created an elegant and striking silhouette the feminine silhouette was the inspiration: pronounced hips faces on dresses and the embroidery of thousands of sparkly beads on jackets and short pants A mini dress with the image of red lips on it was one of my favorites One of the most memorable moments was the appearance of a dress that looked as if it was sculpted directly on the models’ body The models’ hair and makeup was super natural earrings in the shape of lipstick and bracelets in the shape of loose powder completed the looks

wide and see-through and skirts sometimes in asymmetric cuts with very short fronts and very long backs It was a hyper feminine collection comprised of many types of laces present in harem pants and voluminous blouses and also capri pants with frilly tops and tight bodysuits The dress I liked the most was a long nude one with delicate lace combined with matching ballerinas All of these super light and fluid items were combined with big and striking motorcycle jackets or parkas with high necks and big pockets The roses and peonies print was revisited from an original hand painted design from 1977 from the brand’s archive and a matching top and trouser set in this print was my favorite thin strappy sandals and seashell accessories that added freshness which floated over the runway in

voluminous capes and even structured and towering silhouettes like a jacket with big rigid shoulders combined with a black leather pencil skirt The gold laminated denim looks were my favorite The choreography was visually striking: models walked in groups in a synchronicity that radiated unity an idea reinforced by Owens’ concept of an “Army of Love” The hair and makeup was focused towards the minimalistic and the dramatic The makeup was done in neutral hues in almost ethereal-like skin while the hair was done in geometric structures and undone textures that was accompanied by the falling of white petals from the top of the building The collection’s color palette included muted hues like gray black and beige with some hints of gold and silver The accessories were also minimalist but

by showing extremely simple white tunics with gladiator sandals that laced up to the knee Greek-style drapes revisited the original Olympic Games: dresses fell like waterfalls over the models’ bodies with some wearing double leather belts to define the waist white and gold as the only three hues in the show The outfit that stood out the most for me was an asymmetric gold pleated lamé dress held by a leather strap but I also liked the white moiré and black velvet suits with peplos on the pants’ waist The models’ hair was brushed back in a wet style while the makeup highlighted the eyes with golden tones was covered in striking depictions of women athletes created by artist Faith Ringgold wearing a midi brown skirt with black leather gloves and her hair up styled in waves and Venus

inspiration from casual wear One of the most striking looks was the finale dress the couture team draped 47 meters of fabric directly over the model creating a visual experience that took 30 minutes

created by Courreges’ Nicolas di Felice as a guest designer for the season The show took place at the brand’s Parisian headquarters in an immaculate white set Emma Chamberlain and Bad Gyal sitting first row Di Felice’s collection combined Gaultier’s classic elements with innovative contemporary elements One of the standout aspects was a series of dresses that had corsetry elements paying homage to Gaultier’s iconic bustier The silhouettes with hints of futuristic components stood in an atemporal elegance combining high fashion techniques with state-of-the-art fabrics One of my favorite looks was a gabardine draped dress in black with a wide neckline and a veil that covered the model’s face from the eyes downward Another memorable piece was a tight white number covered by a piece of draped tulle that created diagonal lines The collection was striking in its subtlety something that reflected on the last wedding dress: it was completely embroidered combined with a veil that covered the model’s face The predominant colors in the collection were black Models wore their hair back and slightly voluminous while the makeup focused on the eyes with a black eyeliner as its protagonist A

explained by videos played by the brand which revealed the relationship between the designer and the surrealist artist We could also see lingerie-style lace cutout dresses the most spectacular moment was when the evening wear emerged One of the designs that caught my eye the most was a long gold dress with metallic fringes that moved alongside the model creating a sparkly effect with the runway lights The show took place at the Museé d’Art Moderne in Paris and sitting in the first row was an array of celebrities like Jemima Kirke in a collection named “Valquiria Miss Dior.” The Jardin des Tuileries was transformed by a textile installation with lights created by Joana Vasconcelos which incorporated woven fabrics inspired by the brand’s historical archives through fabric sculptures which resulted in a feminine yet strong ambiance The ’50s-inspired offering alluded to Catherine’s specialty: flowers Dior’s sister was a florist and a botanist and Chiuri’s offering was a floral collection in dark tones The line included suits with the trademark New Look silhouette for modern women shirts with rolled up sleeves were combined with midi skirts and sleeveless crewneck dresses with embroidered black stones had transparent detailing which made the underwear come through while long angora sweaters were also teamed with midi skirts Dior’s show is one of the most highly-anticipated ones so it was no surprise to see a great crowd Alexander McQueen presented its latest collection created by Sarah Burton at Cour du dome des Invalides where a crowd of fans awaited the arrival of celebrities like Eddie Redmayne projections of what looked like red orchids were seen over the walls that surrounded the guests Naomi Campbell opened the show with a black siren floor-length dress with a princess-style neckline and this time we saw double-breasted dresses and men’s leather trousers and oversized shirts Corsets were also seen combined with dresses with voluminous skirts and smart trousers A look that stood out was a black and white one-piece with a deep neckline and accentuated shoulders combined with little silver earrings and rings Models walked to the beat of the soundtrack of Alexander McQueen’s FW 1998 show silver and individual earrings and little handbags with metallic straps stood out Valentino’s latest proposal had tailoring as its main axis The venue chosen to present “Valentino Black Tie” was the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild The collection presented several designs under a classic color palette where black and white were the protagonists Pierpaolo Piccioli turned ties into a key item to include not only in shirts or suits but also to team with classic little black dress Feathers were present in all of my favorite looks such as a black and white matching set that included a mini skirt and a white shirt A black blouse with big white polka dots was another major moment on the runway combined with a skirt with a daring slit that left the leg bare when walking Square toe leather boots and dark sunglasses completed all the looks creating a perfect mix of masculinity and femininity Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham were the focus of the photographers’ attention followed by Nick and Priyanka Chopra Jonas and actress Florence Pugh The entrance to Louis Vuitton’s show was a true display of celebrities among which was Zendaya who captivated everyone in a matching animal print shorts and blazer set She was followed by other celebrities like Sophie Turner The show took place in a hall from the Museé de Orsay whose Beaux-Arts decoration offered a counterpoint to the installation created by Philippe Parreno and James Chinlund which reproduced one of Paris’ cobblestone streets sound designer Nicolas Becerril created a soundtrack that mimicked car honks This collection was inspired in the ever-moving Parisian life who walked quickly down the runway wearing maxi coats and extra large scarves while earthy hues and grays dominated the color palette One of the standout looks was a pair of straight trousers with strategic cutouts over the knees and smoking collar coats with big shoulder pads Oversized sweaters had little belts over them to accentuate the waist;

Makes Montaigu a Popular Stop on 'La Route' The in-demand National Hunt sire No Risk At All | Haras de Montaigu France was the forerunner of the stallion trail its La Route des Etalons having been launched in 2010 catching the rising tide of increasingly sought-after stallions in the country following a spell in the doldrums This popular weekend feature of late January was interrupted for a few years by Covid restrictions but there is none of that to worry about now as the two days of touring around some of Normandy's most exquisite stud farms gets underway this Saturday morning There is something for everyone on the tour whether you are a hobby jumps breeder with one mare or a top-of-the-range Flat breeder with Siyouni (Fr) in your sights One farm which caters for both breeding disciplines is Haras de Montaigu which celebrates its 120th birthday this year all that time having been carefully nurtured under the ownership of the same family whose notable graduates include the Derby winner Wings Of Eagles (Fr) is now run on a more commercial footing by his great grand-daughter Aliette Forien and her husband Gilles along with their daughter Sybille Gibson who represents the fifth generation of the family to take the helm Eight stallions will be on show there this weekend including one of the real buzz horses of the National Hunt scene the sire of Champion Hurdle winner Epatante (Fr) and multiple Grade 1-winning chaser Allaho (Fr) “No Risk At All does so well year after year,” says Gibson of the son of My Risk (Fr) himself a grandson of the late Highest Honor (Fr) one of the stalwarts of the French stallion ranks in the latter years of the 20th century “He has produced the champions Epatante and Allaho who have won 11 Grade 1 races between them as well as the Grade 1 winners Esprit Du Large (Fr) and Gannat (Fr) He's been fully booked each year since he entered stud Ireland and England are all mad about him.” While No Risk At All is now an established name one stallion whom Gibson will be hoping will become so even if those outside France might struggle to pronounce that name He is a rare beast among the ranks of the National Hunt stallions in that the eight-year-old actually boasts jumping form himself though this is less unusual in France than it is in Britain and Ireland Akin to a Flat sire retiring to stud after winning the Dewhurst Beaumec de De Houelle was a top-class hurdler who beat Pic d'Orhy (Fr) when winning the G1 Prix Camabaceres at Auteuil as a three-year-old His retirement to Haras de Montaigu is of particular resonance to the team there as his sire was such a successful stallion for the farm until his death in 2019 “Beaumec De Houelle is a proper stunner and when we look at him we see the great Martaline who again this year is champion [National Hunt] sire for the fifth time in France.” The six-time winner is certainly a young sire for the notebook with a number of British and Irish breeders starting to catch on by sending mares to France “His progeny did very well at the sales and we are looking forward to see his first 3-year-olds on the track this year.” Two new arrivals have been welcomed to Haras de Montaigu ahead of this covering season though they are not newcomers to the stallion ranks Both Dabirsim (Ger) and Shamalgan (Fr) have moved from Haras de Grandcamp a Group 1-winning son of Germany's darling “Dabirsim was second behind Siyouni in 2022 according to the number of races won,” Gibson says “He has already had five winners this year and he had two unbeaten two-year-olds in Horizon Doré (Fr) and Over Wins (Fr) that we are very interested to follow this year and he celebrated a Group 1 winner last year with Toskana Belle Dschingis Secret had his first 2-year-olds on the track in 2022 and he had two winners which is quite an achievement for a non-precocious horse.” Another new name at Haras de Montaigu last year was the Juddmonte-bred globetrotter Flintshire (GB) a five-time winner at the highest level in America and Hong Kong who started his stud career at Kentucky's Hill 'N Dale Farms “We are confident that he will find the right mares here in France all turf mares,” Gibson says of the son of Dansili (GB) who covered 72 mares in his first season in Europe thoroughbred jump mares will be accepted and this could really open his book as we know that the National Hunt breeders are very keen to use him.” The former Godolphin representative Jimmy Two Times (Fr) a treble group winner in France over seven furlongs and a mile is another interesting member of the stallion barn at Montaigu The son of Kendargent (Fr) spent two years at stud in Germany before returning to Normandy Jimmy Two Times will have his first French-bred yearlings at the sales this year and he has a more personal connection to the Foriens and Gibson as a grandson of the stud's former resident Kendor (Fr) “We love that Kendor line so much so we were very happy to receive him,” enthuses Gibson Haras de Montaigu will doubtless be teeming with visitors this weekend and if you have a soft spot for a grey then no fewer than three of the resident stallions and the G1 Prix Royal Oak winner Technician (Ire) “This weekend is very important for us as we have a lot of breeders visiting year after year,” Gibson says “It is a great opportunity to have a private chat with each of them and discuss mating plans for their mares and the breeders love to discover the new stallions and see the changes in the horses who have been here for a few years.” That is doubtless a sentiment shared by all participants in this popular event. A full list of the stud farms and stallions available for viewing across the weekend can be found on the Route des Etalons website Copy Article Link she fills us in on all the highlights and the unforgettable moments that took place in Milan during the Fall Winter ’23 show schedule Creative director Marco de Vincenzo presented Etro’s cosmopolitan new collection called Radical; a name which refered to the family brand’s roots and DNA The chosen venue was the Palazzo del Senato a historical building that was set to look as if it were under construction The looks were very colorful and full of prints The mix of textures was a reoccurring part of this collection and was repeated throughout several outfits including my favorite one which was made up of a pair of off-white corduroy trousers Floaty maxi dresses with ruffles and embroidered designs graced the runway my favorite of which being a long black lace dress with a turtleneck and long sleeves Flowers and stripes were overlaid with plaid in a colorful palette full of bright and intense hues Maxi scarves acting as blankets were a standout feature of these looks; models wore them in a crossbody fashion over long dresses ETRO Fall Winter ’23 finale (Courtesy) Max Mara’s show took place at the elegant Museo dei Bambini Milano and was attended by a plethora of celebrities like Anne Thong Ian Griffiths created a show called The Camelocracy Max Mara’s creative director found his inspiration in historical women who didn’t get the recognition they deserved in their day his muse was Émilie du Chatelet; an excellent mathematician The collection was characterized by the tailoring which could be seen in trousers and shirts as well as ribbed dresses combined with matching gloves and hats The main accessory was a wide maxi belt that accentuated the models’ waists and went perfectly with the monochromatic looks in this very romantic proposal A maxi teddy hooded coat was a star on the runway but my own call out was a knitted dress with one shoulder that trailed on the floor and had feminine hair and makeup with a low ponytail tied with a black bow—a touch of detail that I really enjoyed and Raf Simons proved it in this collection co-created with Miuccia Prada which was showcased at Fondazione Prada Functionality was at the core—the brand reinvented uniforms in a simple and modern way Models walked over a long gray corridor surrounded by orange columns that made the venue look like a bunker the roof was elevated to reveal towers of fresh lilies hanging from the ceiling This flower could be seen in many of the designs too embroidered into skirts which were combined with oversized cardigans Japanese culture also snuck into Prada’s runway through pleated black miniskirts made up of a long puffer jacket and a skirt made of the same material combined with a black leather bag and shoes especially a series of oversized leather blazers the ‘it’ supermodels were there The fantastic cast had their makeup done with metallic-tinted lashes and they walked to the beat of Roxy Music’s classic The first row was equally full of famous personalities Naomi Ackie and Ellie Bamber were also there Gucci presented its latest collection over a great olive green canvas there was an elevator where models emerged from to walk the runway there were two sunken circles that represented “the collaborative circularity in the heart of Gucci’s creative community.” Some of the celebrities that sat in the first row were Dakota Johnson actor and singer Xiao Zhan caused a great stir with his fans it was quite eclectic: it included ’90s tailoring reminiscent of Tom Ford’s era there were coats and dress-coats that acted as XL jackets exposed underwear and one of the most striking looks was on a model barely covered by a crystal mini-bra and a big skirt combined with black gloves with silver details There was an array of silhouettes when it came to the skirts Model Liisa Winkler wore one of the looks that I liked most Matthieu Blazy presented the new Bottega Veneta collection against the backdrop of a set which included a printed carpet and a Boccione statue in the middle of the runway while music mixed carnival drums played Donna Lewis’ “I Love You Always Forever Sculptural coats were the main draw—my favorite was a trench coat made out of crocodile leather in scarlet red combined with off-white boots and camel and black bags in different sizes one of the stronger styling trends we’ve seen was the use of double bags; once more models walked down the runway with two bags in many of the looks while it could also be seen in women’s tops and a moss green dress with big volumes by the hips The men’s apparel also included many square suits with big lapels dresses came in vaporous fabrics and multilayered skirts that provided a beautiful movement to the walk Some of the leather designs were also adorned with feathers while low shoes stood out due to their pointed design Giuliano Calza presented his collection for GCDS at Palazzo del Ghiaccio The starting point for this collection was the designer’s cat who inspired a round bag with the cat’s face and chokers that looked like pets’ leashes Kittho was also the protagonist of a gigantic installation created by Fratelli Cinquini Scenogragie’s masters Among the fabulous celebrities sitting front row were Dua Lipa who showed up in a long sheer lace dress with a low back Nathy Peluso and J Balvin caught every photographer’s eye The guests sat around the runway in mismatched chairs and sofas as they watched the show begin with a leather uniform inspired by pilots Suits with zippers and suede jackets in vibrant yellow hues followed while knitwear was combined with leather jackets matched with teddy dresses with angular shoulders My favorite one was a sleeveless dress with a zebra print in yellow and black Classic leather jackets were teamed with short dress pants including one paired with a long leather skirt with a front zipper Accessories were very flashy; in particular a handbag in the shape of an old telephone we saw loafers with studs and knee-high metallic boots alongside other

finds itself at the world epicenter of fashion with a new edition of Fashion Week which took place from September 20th to September 26th amidst high fashion brands like Bottega Venetta Some of the celebs in town this season were Mónica Belucci Some of the other highlights were Paris Hilton who walked the Versace show in a mini sequin fuchsia dress and a veil over her head Naomi Campbell walking for Boss with an oversized tailored suit and Kim Kardashian’s collab with Dolce & Gabbana.” -Sofia  Fendi opened the week presenting its collection inspired by the 90s One of the elements Kim Jones took from that decade was the continued use of a geometric F created by the celebrated Karl Lagerfeld during that time This was seen in pieces like a laser cut leather vest and organza see through dresses and tops while knee-high colorful boots completed the more sophisticated looks The brand’s trademark bags were present in every walk and they were brought to life by Silvia Venturini Fendi Peekaboo bags had chained leashes for the first time while mini Fendi First bags were covered by smaller chains that looked like pieces of jewelry was intervened by vibrant colors like green the production was after achieving classic beauty with a hint of freshness Guido Palau and Peter Philips were the duo in charge of meeting that goal with a little bit of movement in loose waves and fake fringes The make up created fresh and hydrated faces in a minimalist style The show took place at Fendi’s headquarters in Milan which accommodated guests like Mexican actress Ximena Lamadrid Rym Saidi and the brand’s Korean ambassador Prada’s show is one of the most anticipated since the brand announced a collaboration with Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn who combined Nicolas’ visual intervention resulting in a presentation that included techno music and neon colors and had windows with videos playing behind them the videos showed different images of walking shoes and other details that made us spectators spying on a house Prada’s inspiration for this collection was the 90s Accessories like bags stood out due to their size Shoulderpads are still in vogue and Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons played with the juxtaposition of silhouettes: oversized blazers were combined with tight pants with platform shoes and flats being the season’s trend Lingerie dresses were the collection’s must have item alongside buttoned jumpsuits with shirt collars One of my favorite looks was an off-white robe over a matching trench coat which created an interesting overlapping of clothes models wore their hair down with a middle part and natural waves while the make up stood out because of the big fake lashes and it included celebrities like Storm Reid Del Core’s latest oceanic adventures were the inspiration for this spring collection seeing as Daniel Del Core is a semi-professional diver who can reach impressive depths The line was made up of elegant silhouettes with an “urban hue” and it transmitted an energy that seemed to talk about a fantasy of living under the sea Inspired by the shape of water and its state of constant change the items achieved a contrast that began with floral jacquard suits of very precise cuts and ending with spectacular night dresses we could see a voluminous skirt with golden sequins we saw long satin dresses and tight corseted ones The collection included a very wide color palette which was also seen in the models’ make up One of my favorite looks was a black dress with a fishnet cape embroidered with pearls that moved to the beat of the model’s walk Platform sandals completed the collection looks A post shared by @delcoreofficial the creative director Matthieu Blazy joined artist Gaetano Pesce who created a set of resin chairs and floor for decorating the inside of an abandoned fabric at the South of Milan resulting in an invasion of color and sparkle for an ideal set both men and women of different ages and even the legendary Kate Moss who wore a plaid shirt and leather pants that looked like denim one of the show’s most interesting moments The collection included casual looks in plaid and denim and leather and tailored suits for evening wear since Blazy’s goal was to create dynamic items apt for every occasion the clothes that stood out the most were the dresses and coats in plaid and irregular graphic prints inspired by the colorful drawings created for men’s suits by Giacomo Balla I chose my favorite looks: three long dresses with feathered skirts in red including the mother and son from the Academy winner was once again inspired by historical figures he traveled to the 1930s and took Renée Perle and Eileen Gray as his muses for a collection titled “The Blue Horizon.” This worked as a starting point for the backdrop Dresses shined on the runway in a series of abstract floral prints towards the show finale  Most accessories were made out of burlap The color palette was dominated by beige and black The super minimalist make up included a touch of coral on the lips Sitting in the first row were Lili Reinhart A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) Under the guidance of up and comer artistic director Filippo Grazioli Missoni’s line portrayed a modern mindset through sensual fabrics elegant transparencies and striking ornaments The designer presented his first women’s line for the Italian brand with a show at the Universita Bocconi Following the minimalist and sexy trend of the 90s he created designs tight to the body with elegant silhouettes that included variations in length: they were either midi or mini Another highlighting decision was repetition: we could see the same outfit in both long and short variations and in 5 different colors: yellow The brand’s trademark prints were also there like the classic zigzag in asymmetric cut dresses models carried big silver earrings and bracelets while strap sandals climbed over their calves A sparkling runway and unpolluted white staircase were the ideal scenario for Filippo’s designs to stand out Paris Jackson and Indya Moore enjoyed the show Eddie Roche is the Chief Content Officer of The Daily

home to the new Summer/Spring collections for 2023 we saw the new offerings from brands like Dior and Chanel; all of which left a footprint on the history of fashion Here’s your guide to what went down…..” One of Paris’ most buzzed about events was Balenciaga The runway was comprised of piles of dampened dirt meaning the models walked over puddles of mud smashing each other Demna’s ‘The Mud Show’ included everything from battle-ready looks The invitation came in the form of a lost wallet that guests had to take back to an address on October 2 at 11.30AM and a dental protector with the Balenciaga logo The collection was full of surprising accessories: sculpture-like scarves in pink and yellow Naomi Campbell and Alexa Demie were sitting in the front row alongside Kylie Jenner who wore a bright pink knitted dress—the same version of the one later seen on the runway Pierpaolo Piccioli seems to have turned over the page from his latest fuchsia collection he may have created a basis for a new minimalist style in terms of shapes and color palettes A beige graphic dress with the V logo came with matching make up covering the model’s face and the return of the famous monogram followed he also introduced us to bright colors like yellow especially a long one in the shape of a tunic in lavender The accessories that stood out were dark sunglasses and mini bags Valentino became the real revelation: models didn’t even walk past the guests as they always do a crowd gathered hoping to catch a glimpse of the invited celebrities Givenchy’s show took place put in the open The runway and the stage were made out of brown cork creating a set where celebrities like Kanye West and Noomi Rapace sat in the front row to enjoy the show Models walked to the beat of classic tunes like Fleetwood Mac’s Everywhere and Noise Addict’s I Wish I Was Him Bella Hadid walked past in a matching rusty denim set comprised of low-rise wide-leg trousers made up of an oversize jacket and wide shorts with big pockets it was a collection with a relaxed and sporty vibe where denim items stole the spotlight alongside draped dresses tight to the body and combined with gloves Virginie Viard took her inspiration from Coco Chanel’s designs for the 1961 score L’Année dernière à Marienbad for her Spring Summer collection in front of a giant screen that showed scenes from the movie while the models walked in front wearing a variety of cocktail dresses that emphasized the timelessness of Chanel’s aesthetics The feather trim of a cream dress used in the movie showed up in several outfits could be seen in a lacy white dress with black details in the finale while the hair was done up on most occasions big bracelets were mixed with multiple chains by the neck Sitting in the front row enjoying the show were Charlotte Casiraghi one of the house’s most distinguished ambassadors the Louvre transformed into a gigantic flower that also looked like a cherry red circus tent designed by contemporary French artist Philippe Parreno and production designer James Chinlund Nicolas Ghesquiere played with the size of the designs: low-cut dresses with big volume little leather dresses with enormous chained shoulders and gigantic buttons and zippers that took over the clothes Designs were printed with different motifs like belts while boots were decorated with sparkling colorful stones

English-speaking salesgoers looking to remember the name of the popular French consignor the farm and consignment reverted to its original name and will now be simply known as Haras de Montaigu Other changes are afoot as well at the century-plus owned family operation long known for breeding its own and raising and selling for a select group of clients will now add to that list of services that of a consignor for outside clients as well And a fifth generation of the family has come on board to work in the family business the daughter of owner-manager and famed horsewoman and agent Aliette Forien has returned to the farm as marketing manager after decades away from Montaigu Gibson was born on the farm which was started by her great Guerlain was one in a long line of master perfumers for the family business who was an eminent member of the Societe d'Encouragement who transformed the name Haras de Montaigu to Haras de la Reboursiere et Montaigu,” Gibson explained Now the Reboursiere name will be comprised of Aliette and Gilles's private broodmares while the commercial Thoroughbred operation will revert to simply Montaigu Gibson's return to Montaigu is something of a homecoming “I was born on the farm and I was there until I was 13 years old when I went to Paris but I never worked in the business because I started a job in Paris immediately after my exams She married the English trainer Richard Gibson the operation has enjoyed near constant success; they are perennially among the top consignors at Arqana and sold and raised dual Group 1 winner Prince Gibraltar (Fr)

first 2-year-olds will race next year; Literato who also stood at Montaigu and who was the G1 Champion S winner whose runners tend toward precocity–all the runners from his 2012 foal crop won or placed at two–and Prince Gibraltar who Montaigu offered at the Arqana August sale in 2012 but who did not attain his reserve and who raced for his breeder The latter takes up stud duties this year at the farm having won the Criterium de Saint Cloud at two and the Grosser Preis von Baden at four He is in the process of being syndicated and he will stand for €5,000 was the first to choose to work strictly with horses and never regretted not being in the family business His roots and my roots and my mom's roots are in the earth So this was what he chose instead of the perfume.” The farm comprises 360 acres about an hour and 15 minutes south of Deauville in the town of Nonant-Le-Pin I will be fifth generation running the company,” said Gibson “We are not transforming the business because for many years we have been among the top five vendors at the sales We've got a very good team who has been with us for a very long time and who are very specialized and motivated I would like to define our new business so that people know that we consign our own stock but I would like to let people know that we are also very pleased to consign outside horses Our only aim is the highest quality service to produce good horses and to satisfy our faithful clientele.” “This is what we are looking to develop,” said Gibson and we have had very loyal clients for years and so why not do it

Argentine cowboy gear into serious fashion Photograph by Emma Hardy.Gaucho pants are to Buenos Aires what cowboy boots are to Dallas Named for the ranch hands who rule the Pampas the fertile plains that cover eastern Argentina the wide-leg trousers that taper below the knee can be found at any local flea market and “they are really chic,” says Sofía Achával de Montaigu The 38-year-old Buenos Aires native recently launched a tightly edited line called Àcheval Pampa—a pun on her last name and the French phrase for “on horseback”—comprising three different takes on the aforementioned pants (tweaked to flatter the female form and accessorized with interchangeable leather-and-brass belts) tops ranging from T-shirts to ladylike blouses Models Kayla Crous & Marie Fofana in looks from Àcheval Pampa Achával de Montaigu doesn’t exactly blend in as she saunters into the bar of the Ritz Paris for an afternoon drink She is wearing a white cotton poet’s blouse with a fragment of text from the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges embroidered in gold on one sleeve a wide-brimmed chapeau to cover her long white-blonde braid tucked into a pair of velvet over-the-knee boots and I have pictures of when I was 5 and hanging out with the gauchos working on our ranch,” Achával de Montaigu says by way of explanation and I’d get up at seven in the morning and go out with them to herd the cattle Once Achával de Montaigu grew up, her interest in cows was replaced by more rarefied pursuits, though she did remain ­faithful to her homegrown style. At age 22, after studying film in Buenos Aires, she moved to Paris to attend the Studio Berçot fashion school. She modeled for Mulberry, Chloé, and Marc Jacobs went to work for another Buenos Aires native “I learned everything there,” Achával de Montaigu says of the three years she stayed on as Seward’s right hand a photographer and filmmaker pal from home and the style she developed professionally was unfussy yet dramatic—not unlike how she dresses herself you might catch her in a big yellow faux fur by Miu Miu a French novelist from the ­Gallimard publishing family she wore flamenco-inspired Christian Lacroix haute couture when Achával de Montaigu was expecting her second child On a job styling the Latin American campaigns for Rochas The two of them eventually joined forces and cooked up ­Àcheval Pampa with Sperber mainly overseeing production and the business end ­Everything is made in Argentina and Uruguay Model Marie Fofana in looks from Àcheval Pampa a flat-brimmed white gaucho hat with matching blue trim perched at an angle on her head “Argentina has regained confidence,” Blaquier says alluding to the country’s recent financial troubles “It’s great to have a brand like this representing us internationally.” “Delfina’s dress is like what the wife of a gaucho might wear,” says Achával de Montaigu everyone kept telling me I needed to sell what I wore These things are normal for everyone in Argentina Home » Archive » Europe » From the TDN Weekend: Montaigu No less than the perfumes that funded its foundation Haras de Montaigu is sustained by subtle but constant adjustment to a formula a little bit less of that; seeing what works without compromising on the hallmarks of your brand Because with Thoroughbreds and perfume alike there is no such thing as the perfect balance you can't merely respond to some fleeting commercial vogue you recognise an equivalence with her ancestors not just in process but in mindset until you find the right blood cross,” she says “I can't say we just try a bit of everything you are always trying something different.” she is sitting in the stall at Arqana that once housed Montaigu's most famous graduate there is hardly anyone around-some prospective buyers have probably only just reeled out of Le Drakkar–and Gibson is in her element: the air is saturated with the scent of fresh straw and the silence punctuated only by a drowsy snicker or a thud against wood echoing down the row “And it's all a mystery,” she says “My parents bought Martaline to be a Flat stallion but he became the best National Hunt sire in France but you keep going because you believe in what you do Each time a nice filly is born we say: 'She will win the Diane!' But the things that work when it can be hard enough to do so even after it has proved effective was ever taciturn when pressed to explain his genius for finding the right balance–the right “cross,” as it were-in a new fragrance it was a hereditary genius: the family had established one of the world's most venerable perfume and cosmetics brands as early as 1828 And you can't really articulate instinct; it's something you are born with If this represents the crowning moment in the Montaigu story then his is not the only important homecoming For only a couple of years previously Gibson having for decades led a life away from the 360-acre homestead had returned to promote an expanded commercial operation–and to prepare herself for the day when she takes the family's stewardship of Montaigu into a fifth generation The farm was founded in 1903 by her great-great-grandfather Gabriel He had started his Turf career on land near Paris but knew Normandy was the place to raise horses and eventually found a 200-hectare site for sale Montaigu passed into the hands of his son Jacques as celebrated a parfumeur as any in the pedigree; but Jacques despairing after the loss of his youngest son in the war who became the first to devote himself to Thoroughbreds full-time “He was a man of the land,” Gibson explains “And while the family would go to and fro–my mother was brought up in Paris–this was his true base His grandfather had won the Grand Steeplechase [de Paris and Jacques bought five or six mares in Newmarket but it was still just a hobby until Claude took over He had cousins who could keep the [perfume] business going everything has been about the place he loved: it has been at the heart of the family and for us now at the heart of our business.” Gibson remembers the old man from her girlhood “He was a very discreet man,” she says maybe even a little cold: he hid his emotions the passion within passed down–along with the farm–to Gibson's mother Aliette a renowned horsewoman who found a husband of similar stamp in the bloodstock agent Gilles Forien “My grandfather didn't have that many mares but bred Rescousse to win the Prix de Diane and finish second in the Arc,” Gibson recalls “But by 1984 he felt the time had come to let his daughter transform the farm into something more commercial She had become passionate about horses through show jumping–and from this she developed what I think remains our marque de fabrique of Montaigu.” Gibson condenses that trademark in a single word: respect “Respect for the horse,” she says “We have never pushed the yearlings too hard during their preparation they get turned out in the paddock every morning I know other people also take great care of their horses All I know is that my mum's been doing it the same way for 30 years and been in the top five [vendors at Arqana every summer] for ages “I don't know if it's because of her show jumping background But we do try to hire people who love their horses Day by day we adapt the work of each horse according to how each one takes what we ask them to do It's about that attention to detail.” give an extra commercial dimension to the operation and Wings of Eagles has joined a roster of six trying to follow in the footsteps of Kendor one of the most resonant names in modern French pedigrees champion French juvenile of 1988 and winner of the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains the following spring presided here for 17 years and sired three Group 1 winners-one of whom Though Kendargent has kept the line fashionable Gibson concedes that stallions like Literato are at the mercy of a market notoriously addicted to commercial reputation Literato mustered a Group 1 winner from a debut crop of just 37 but is still having to graft away at €3,000 and I think stallions are killed in the market far too quickly he always produces foals that are literally like the dam but it was difficult to convince people.” (For the full TDN Weekend feature on Haras de Montaigu, click here.)

stylist Sofia Achaval de Montaigu was perched front row for The Daily this season She writes in on some of the most talked about shows of the season Paris Fashion Week kicked off with a lot of rain and it’s basically the only thing anyone was talking about I stepped out wearing my yellow MiuMiu faux fur coat Thanks to the weather it was exceptionally hard to get to the Schiaparelli show at 21 Place Vendôme but luckily when I arrived I saw that there were people waiting for the guests with umbrellas who has been Schiaparelli’s brand ambassador since 2012 looked lovely as she greeted guests in a pair of Schiaparelli pants and a pretty embroidered jacket Derek Blasberg arrived with Lauren Santo Domingo followed by Kylie Minogue and Sabine Getty I also saw Inès de la Fressange who sported a trench coat and a chic little hat who carried a bag designed by Gabriela Hearst It was a perfect blend of African and European cultures that resulted in a collection that represents cosmopolitan femininity in the shape of contemporary deities and modern apparitions Silk chiffon mixed with incandescent colors and the signature Schiaparelli shocking pink mixed with subdued or bold hues were the protagonists of this season My favorite outfits included a black coat and a white dress with a shock of pink that were made of the same material— embroidered and with fringes as if they were tribal suits but with a contemporary design I also loved a muslin dress in the brand’s signature pink with a sweetheart neckline But maybe one of the finest pieces was a satin hooded white dress with a pearled embroidery It would be a dream to get married in this dress there was a special collaboration between Schiaparelli’s design director Bertrand Guyon and Lucie de la Falaise on the Selene named after two Greek goddesses and a Scottish mythological creature The bags have braided raffias and strips of plastic bags with wooden bags I said hello to my friend Alexia Niedzielski from System magazine and she said I looked like a bird from paradise I sat down to take a look at my notes and kill some time before the following show started and sitting right beside me was Kylie Minogue and others that were in the Schiaparelli show I headed towards the Galerie de Minéralogieet de Géologie near the Jardin des Plantes I was there the previous weekend with my kids and I plan on bringing them back—it’s very impressive The Iris van Herpen show was perfectly set in this venue You could see the different stones and fossils that are being exhibited in the gallery behind little cabinets in both sides of the catwalk and that in addition to the hanging paper sculptures that looked like her dresses My friend Julia von Boehm was also there wearing a pair of sparkling silver stilettos and jeans Iris’ collection was inspired by a microscopic view of the world But the most impressive thing about Iris van Herpen’s designs is the texture of her dresses The dresses would easily pass as sculptures Another thing that caught my eye were the shoes They were incredibly high but looked quite comfortable because the soles were made of rubber One of my favorite looks was a catsuit with geometrical prints and a covered face that I’d love to use for a shoot The material was so tight it seemed to serve as a second skin Another dress that I loved resembled a bird with wings It was an incredible thing to be able to see the texture of the fabric and what could be done with it Later in the day I went to Proenza Schouler’s show a site still under construction and the show’s production was handled by Alexandre de Betak The seating accommodation consisted of wooden boxes in different types and sizes As I was arriving to the address for the show I got to catch a glimpse of Caroline de Maigret and Jeanne Damas chatting with some friends and as I entered the site I saw my friend and artist Olympia Scarry and my great friend Elizabeth von Thurn und Taxis the soundtrack in the room seemed as if it were an orchestra trying their instruments before beginning a piece and with the lighting it was just the same there was a progressive illumination as the time approached Then some strong white spotlights illuminated the room and the music changed into techno percussion The collection was flawless; every look felt smart and modern I loved not only the fabrics and the big necklaces but also the bags with their woven leather straps One of my favorite looks was worn by Mica Argañaraz who had a black turtleneck and a woven top with a big metallic necklace There was a brown fur coat that had the perfect color and shape The styling by Camilla Nickerson with the black stockings and next to no makeup made all the looks feel young and cool Every girl will want to wear this collection I attended Dior’s party at Museé Rodin it was as if we had entered a surrealist masked ball where the waiters There were dancing girls in poker card costumes and people in character inside cages Everything was fantastic and everyone was wearing astonishing masks Ellen von Unwerth took a picture of me because she said she loved my yellow Miu Miu faux fur coat designer Maria Grazia Chiuri was sitting with her model Sasha Pivovarova and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac was also there with a surrealist hand as a costume my good friend and talented designer who was wearing a magnificent velvet Dior dress In attendance were also Sabine Getty with a vintage Alexander McQueen suit and my great friend Yazbukey Today I also attended Alexandre Vauthier´s fashion show at the Grand Palais at 19:30pm It was dark outside and when you entered the venue it was as if the atmosphere instantly changed Everything was illuminated in shades of blue and it was accompanied by techno music that opened the show and ushered the models who sported wet hair buns and eyeshadow inspired in the 80s The models walked down the runway wearing high heeled boots she was wearing white jeans with a golden jacket and a shirt that had a big white bow and a pair of mini red glasses as accessory It was a style that was a perfect fit for Bella and true to her; we felt as if we were back to the supermodel era One of my favourite looks was a frilled shirt that covered the head and vinyl boots high to the knee The final look was worn by Bella Hadid and it consisted of a great green taffeta dress full of frills with shorts underneath and black stilettos From where I was seating I could see Emanuelle Alt loving Vauthier´s collection; and then I saw my good friend Carine Roitfeld and all the important fashion editors as well all the photographers were expecting Bella who went out the Grand Palais through a side exit and everyone ran looking for her: it was like the scene from a movie we could only see the flashes and her dressed in white with her bodyguards I went to Magnetic Midnight’s presentation by Lucía Echaverría an accessories designer that is very successful among the “it girls” The event was produced by my friend Victoria Botana and exhibited the brand’s new handbag line made of iraca palm leaf Its used in a weaving technique that is comprised of different organic patterns like a web of flowers grids and stripes that captured the spirit of the skilled weaver of Greek mythology Germain and it decorated in shades of blue while the bags were illuminated from behind such as Clotilde Durso and I also saw Bianca Brandollini while I was leaving and the Ambassador of Colombia was also there Later that night I rushed to the Fabrizio Viti and MatchesFashion dinner The dinner took place at the Travellers Club along the Champs-Elysées I always enjoy Fabrizio’s dinners and presentations and I´m a big fan of his shoes They were exhibited with some floral arrangements before entering the 1st floor salon were we would have dinner we took pictures with a vintage Polaroid camera I saw a bunch of my friends including Azza Yousif I sat beside Cornelia de Castellane and she told me about her exclusive children’s haute couture line for Dior I was also very happy to see my friend Elizabeth von Thurn und Taxis who I was able to catch up with while posing for Polaroid pictures with Alexia and Fabrizio Viti´s shoes There were loads of other people in attendance as well including Camille Michelli and André Balazs I went to say happy birthday to my friend Alexa Niedzielski who was hosting a celebratory lunch at the Armani Café and after that I went headed over to La Gaite Lyrique for the fashion show The venue look like a theatre with black velvet curtains and a pink rug The collection was inspired in a surrealist masquerade ball using just one fabric typical of couture: Japanese satin duchesse Victor&Rolf made the most out of their creativity to design a series of eveningwear with artwork such as stripes and checks and moving onto patchwork and weaving with organic elements like flowers Accessories included headwear and others with big colourful plants and masks My favourite looks were two dresses: one with a ruffled neckline and stripes in turquoise brown and beige and a mask that had a head accessory with turquoise leaves and big red and white flowers an absolute dream dress and another one in black with blue bows in different sizes and a purple mask with two roses in white and red Victor&Rolf always put on the most theatrical and artistic shows they go beyond fashion: the shows are in their own a work of art The Acne Studios fashion show took place in a huge space at rue Léon-Jouhaux in Paris in a rustic spot that was like place under construction with no distractions that served as a big venue to put the spotlight on the clothes I saw Isabelle Huppert and Juliette Lewis arrive and knew that this was one of the coolest shows in Fashion Week Acne Studios’ collection was based in a range of colors that went from brown The inspiration behind the line was described by creative director Jonny Johansson as “inspired by those who make the active choice to live away from the city (…) The collection had a grunge appeal with different fabrics such as wool layered on top of each other that made for a romantic and practical look in the form of long silk floral dresses Every look was paired with thick wool socks and sneakers Acne Studios’ collection seems to be rebelling against rules and creating clothes that are comfortable and designed for the outdoors My favorite look was a fur coat with a little white lace that served as a belt cool and edgy look that was finished with trousers I also liked the accessories: the little hats the handbags that were carried as if they were big bags and the looks with flat white boots Later in the day I attended Elie Saab’s fashion show at the Pavillon Cambon Capucines at the rue Cambon Elie Saab has an entire section just for clients and it was fun to see how the women that buy his clothes were dressed They wore a lot of jewelry and very high-heeled boots and stilettos Everything about this collection was inspired by the ’20s from the shapes and designs to the accessories That was set to the tune of ’20s style jazz The clothes had refined and graceful lines that could be seen in their long dresses which embraced the feminine silhouette in the hips and waist The collection included different fabrics such as silk the pastels are strengthened by metallic shades in Saab’s signature embroidery work appliqués and ornamentations such as precious stones My favorite look was without a doubt the most embellished It was so beautiful that it made me want to get married all over again Today I attended Valentino’s fashion show at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild Shows like this are one of the many reasons why I love fashion changed the atmosphere into something divine The models walked through the rooms in this beautiful color palette of fuchsia with pastel pink beige and purple with green and turquoise with yellow draped and braided tops and lots of bows and ruffles Sequin dresses were a highlight and other fabrics included taffetas and moiré green or pink for the eyes to purple and blue for the lips That look was topped off with hats by Philip Treacy It’s hard to pick a favorite in a collection like this I´d say the two looks in pink: one with a shirt and layered pants in different shades of pink and a fuchsia hat with feathers and the other was a magenta dress with a ruffled neckline and a pink feathered hat Front row included everyone from Derek Blasberg to Kate Hudson and Shailene Woodley as well as Olivia Palermo "a6c2f216cc8e5670587dd25c72d98840"

the recent menswear shows in Milan Fendi presented its collection in a show with an audience sitting on F-shaped steel benches stretched alongside the venue creating a geometric aisle through which the models walked in an easy who cheered on artistic director Silvia Venturini Fendi’s collection which proposed a combination of countryside and urban clothes This was seen in a series of short pants with leather rain boots and ski socks while checked skorts in different lengths and textures were a novel suggestion Sparkly and metallic moments were present in different outfits adding an extra touch of brightness the last outfit was my favorite: a totally black outfit consisting of a pleated skirt The color palette went from olive and military greens to classic gray hues Accessories are always impeccable in Fendi’s collections the ones that stood out were leather sailor hats and bags Stone Island’s debut in Milan was a sensorial experience which included flashing lights and techno music Models wore high-end streetwear while standing still in three-story metal structures inside Milan’s La Cattedrale to present the collection titled “The Compass Inside.” Once the guests sat on the bleachers laser lights turned on revealing the designs after which a gigantic black curtain dropped and made the show dark again Sitting front row were artist and producer Dave who also starred in the brand’s graphic campaign The collection was made up of three different lines: Ghost we saw a down jacket made with PVD nanotechnology and a metal coat that imitated liquid glass The Ghost line included military-inspired peacoats and included a monochromatic Ghost label over the left sleeves there was also a sheepskin suede coat with a hood A post shared by Stone Island (@stoneisland) Brothers Dean and Dan Caten invited attendees to a totally white runway space which included a machine that transformed looks: models walked in with unbrushed hair and street clothes and walked out looking significantly sharper We could see that the collection was divided into two categories—casual and elegant—as looks were modeled by twins The more casual outfits included deconstructed sweaters While the more elegant pieces focused on tailoring Bright metallic textures such as sequins stood out towards the end of the 49 looks too The show’s finale was the most iconic: the designers walked down the catwalk as the designer walked to the beat of Freedom wearing a long black dress models walked unassumingly up and down two set of stairs wearing the collection called “Sleek,” which was comprised of 62 looks that included transparencies A gray animal print coat combined with a two piece suit in the same print was my favorite piece in the collection and even pouch bags were some of the accessories created for next Winter The beginning of the show was dominated by grays and blacks the elegant darkness of the color black made way to brilliant shades of white wtih immaculate tuxedos and matching satin shirts combined with denim trousers Among the public and those sitting front row were Jeff Bezos with his partner Lauren Sánchez whose son Nikko González took part in the show in addition to other celebrities like Maria Pedraza where two vibes collided: the office and the outside world The reception included a gray rug and blue office boxes with computers that read “Prada.” In the hall office chairs were set over a crystal runway suspended several centimeters over a valley where water flowed silently through a stone creek The collection sought to highlight the duality of men in regards to the office and nature combining suits with wool hats that reminded the audience of those used for swimming the models carried other colors such as purple A peculiar proposition of intertwined belts also made us turn our attention to accessories Models walked to the beat of a techno music track created by Dj Clara 3000 and an outfit that represented the collection’s spirit perfectly was a pair of black trousers Sitting in the front row were Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham Armani’s show was set to the backdrop of a lighthouse which illuminated the catwalk Loredana Berte’s “Il Mare D’Inverno” from 1983 opened and closed the show which began with a clear nautical theme present in the typical sailor’s suits and wide sleeves over a striped t-shirt with a scarf around the neck tailoring took over the runway in colors like brown and beige Ski clothes and a great white cape that seemed to float over the runway stood out as memorable Sitting in the front row were celebrities like Corey Mylchreest Armani with a standing ovation along with the rest of the audience after the finale Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to

National Hunt stallions and is one of the rare studs that can lay claim to having produced three breed-shaping sires in Martaline (Linamix) Nikos (Nonoalco) and No Risk At All (My Risk) “The history of French National Hunt breeding has shown us that the most successful stallions are those that are by proven sires of jumps horses themselves Kapgarde (Garde Royale) - the list is non exhaustive “Zarak is currently the leading young French sire on the Flat with exceptional results at the highest level as advertised by his two Group 1 winners in 2024 Zarak also boasts sensational statistics in

€240,000 as a two-year-old at Arqana “Nietzsche Has is a half-brother to Niko Has (Great Pretender) winner of the Listed Prix William Head and Prix Triquerville and fourth in the Grade 1 Grand

everything you could want in a National Hunt stallion including two excellent fillies acquired at the Derby Sale: a Doctor Dino from the ‘K’ family of Haras des Coudraies and a daughter of Beaumec De Houelle from the leading family developed by Bertrand Compignie “We’ll also be supporting the stallion with mares from the Haras de Montaigu broodmare band as he has a unique and outstanding profile.” 'I ended up driving to Doncaster that evening to pick her up' - £3,500 Goffs UK purchase pays off for Imogen Mathias  Published on 1 July 2024inNews Sign InJoinExclusive: Marcelo Flores on joining Arsenal’s academy the Montaigu Tournament and his international future | OneFootballDaily Cannon 15-year-old Marcelo Flores signed for Arsenal from Ipswich Town last month and he’s already settling in well with his new club.Flores was in high demand when he first moved over to Europe with his family a couple of years ago Marcelo’s sister Silvana revealed in 2018 that he’d received offers from Barcelona but he ended up choosing Ipswich Town instead Speaking to the Daily Cannon after scoring the Arsenal u15s’ only goal in a draw on Saturday Flores explained how his subsequent move to North London came about “I have two sisters that play for Arsenal,” the young midfielder said “Last year when I played for Ipswich I had good performances against them “I really like it (at Arsenal so far) It’s good to work beside great players and coaches.” For the last couple of weeks, though, Flores has been away with the u16 Mexican national team, playing in the Montaigu Tournament. The Arsenal youngster featured in every game as Mexico reached the final where they just narrowly lost out on penalties to Argentina “It was a great tournament and great competition,” Flores said “The teams we played are top class and we had very good games but this was the first one officially competing.” Although he joined up with Mexico for the Montaigu Tournament Flores has a number of options for his international future He’s eligible for Mexico through his father He explained that he hasn’t decided where his senior future lies just yet due to my background I have that opportunity Mexico called me and I really enjoyed it,” he said Back with Arsenal Flores revealed who he looks up to in the first team as well as his goals for the coming season “I love how he always passes forward and how good and calm on the ball he is “Next season, I want to be a regular starter at Arsenal and perhaps break into the u18s team and play more international games to get more experience.” Let’s hope the teenager has a great season and achieves those targets We’ll leave you with a couple of his goals in the aforementioned friendly matches with Mexico and his rather unique signature celebration:

alongside top stayer Technician Haras de Montaigu has long sat at the forefront of the French breeding scene but even by their own high standards the 2022 season could be one that places them on a stronger footing Situated approximately 100 kilometres south of Deauville and previously home to such heavyweights as Kendor and Martaline today’s roster is anchored by leading jumps stallion No Risk At All and has been bolstered for 2022 by the arrival of multiple Group/Grade 1 winner Flintshire in addition to the Group 1-winning stayer Technician Flintshire was previously based at Hill ’n’ Dale Farm in Kentucky and as fate would have it the announcement of his switch coincided with the success of his son Verbal in the Grade 3 Cecil B DeMille Stakes at Del Mar “It was very special to see Verbal’s victory just after the announcement of Flintshire’s arrival to Haras de Montaigu,” says the stud’s Sybille Gibson since his first-crop son Cheshire Academy won last year’s Prix Noailles and now Verbal has won a Grade 3 at Del Mar “It couldn’t be a better start for a young sire but the Flintshire Syndicate thought a turf horse would do better as a sire in Europe We had been looking for a Flat stallion for a long time and we thank Michel Zerolo of Oceanic Bloodstock for organising the deal.” Flintshire spent his early racing career under the care of Andre Fabre for whom he won the Grand Prix de Paris and Hong Kong Vase and ran second in two Arcs he went on to become even more accomplished for Chad Brown in the US where wins in the Grade 1 Manhattan Stakes and two renewals of the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Stakes came his way he boasted approximately $9.5 million in earnings he also boasts excellent bloodlines as a Dansili son of Group 2 winner Dance Routine Flintshire is the sire of smart French colt Cheshire Academy out of his first crop “We think Flintshire is a very important and exciting addition,” says Gibson “He has one of the best pedigrees on earth and he’s the only winner of five Group or Grade 1 races to stand in France “He was a very talented horse with an incredible turn of foot he is extremely good-looking with good size and he’s well balanced We had a chat with his first trainer André Fabre who was very excited that Flintshire was returning to Europe “We were lucky to announce his arrival during the Tattersalls and Arqana breeding stock sales and we’ve had a fantastic response – there were 30 bookings in four days from some very important operations.” Flintshire will stand for €6,500 while a fee of €3,000 has been set for Technician who was saddled by Martyn Meade to win the 2019 Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp The son of Mastercraftsman progressed into an excellent stayer during his three-year-old season a campaign that also featured successes in the Prix de Chaudenay and Geoffrey Freer Stakes among five wins we were able to purchase half of Technician from Manton Park Racing Technician will be dual-purpose and he was very well received when we took him to Clairefontaine to meet breeders during the Arqana November Sale.” She adds: “He’s an interesting addition to our National Hunt roster when No Risk At All is fully booked and our Grade 1-winning son of Martaline “Technician allows breeders to have access to a Group 1 winner by Mastercraftsman who has himself already produced Grade 1 winners over jumps.” The aforementioned No Risk At All goes from strength to strength the son of My Risk was appreciated early on into his stud career at Montaigu by British and Irish breeders Epatante and Esprit Du Large to his credit understandably remains extremely popular on both sides of the Channel “The British and Irish are mad about No Risk At All,” says Gibson He‘s always been very well supported by his trainer Jean Paul Gallorini and the French breeders since he retired to stud especially so soon after our other champion Martaline [who died in November 2019].” She adds: “Martaline’s son Beaumec de Houelle is doing very well too making him the best three-year-old [jumper] of his generation “He’s had several winners in various shows We sold a stunning filly by him at the Arqana November Sale for €72,000 to Midland Equine and then a foal sold for €48,000 at the Goffs December Sale to Tally-Ho Stud He has his first two-year-olds in 2022 but we’ll have to wait another year before his first National Hunt runners.” Further variety is offered by German Horse of the Year Dschingis Secret a particularly appropriate member of the roster given he is a son of Kendargent and therefore a grandson of former Montaigu lynchpin Kendor “We are very excited to stand Dschingis Secret,” says Gibson “Dschingis Secret was a champion on the racecourse he’s a son of Soldier Hollow and is a full brother to four black-type horses “He has been well supported by French breeders “The precocious and fast Jimmy Two Times also arrived at Montaigu last year He won the Prix du Muguet over a mile and was placed 12 times from 1200 metres to 1400 metres including when third in the important Prix Maurice de Gheest We are very pleased to stand once again a stallion from the Kendor line.” Keep in touch with The

fourth place the U-16 Japan Women's National Team faced the U-16 Portugal Women's National Team in the third place play-off match of the Montaigu Tournament The match started with Japan creating close opportunities from the early minutes KIKUCHI Hana (Hokkaido Consadole Asahikawa U-15) responded to a pass delivered by TSUJI Amiru (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Urawa Reds Ladies Junior Youth) to strike a shot inside the penalty area but her attempt was denied by the opposing goalkeeper NAKAHIRA Rena (INAC Kobe Tesoro) also came close in the sixth minute when she received a pass from SHINJO Miharu (Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Menina) but her shot was also denied by the goalkeeper Japan scored the opening goal in the 10th minute when NEZU Ririka (JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies U-15) delivered a cross from the right side who dribbled past a defender before striking a shot into the net Although it was Japan who took the initiative in the first half Portugal dictated the pace in the second half as they scored the equaliser in the 54th minute The score remained tied at 1-1 after 80 minutes of play and the match entered a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner as Japan finished the tournament in fourth placed GK #18 FUKUDA Mao (JFA Academy Fukushima)We have challenged ourselves to further develop ourselves in this competition with the goal of “controlling our own destiny.” In this match against Portugal I made conscious efforts to get myself prepared and involved in the team’s build-up plays Players from other countries showed great determination to score goals even when they were not in good position to do so This was a very stimulating experience for me and I hope to make the most of this experience to become a better player MF #7 SHINJO Miharu (Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Menina)I participated in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup India 2022™ as the youngest player on the team while I was the oldest player in this tournament My position within the team changed and I was named as captain but this tournament reminded me of my inability to lead and influence the team we allowed our opponents to freely penetrate the flanks while in today’s game against Portugal we were not able to win the ball in one-on-one situations It made us realise that we need to improve our speed and strengths in order to compete at the world stage We also need to raise the quality of our individual skills as well as our team’s defensive approach We would like to use what we have experienced in this tournament to get everyone looking in the same direction MF #16 HAYASHI Tsubaki (JFA Academy Fukushima)First of all I would like to thank everyone involved in organising this tournament I was able to make a lot of challenges without being afraid to make mistakes and receive the ball between the spaces more often I also found myself rushing the plays and making errant passes on many occasions I did manage to settle down and create chances in the second half but I wasn’t able to capitalise on the opportunities I was given This match really reminded me that I still have a lot of work to do I think it was a very valuable experience to play in an environment different from Japan and with foreign players I will not forget the things I learnt and the frustrations I felt at this tournament as I will try to make the most of this whole experience to become a better player

silhouette of the gaucho was special,” Àchavel de Montaigu explained “For us to share this with the world is nothing short of a dream come true.” 10 looks were on display within the plush red velvet interior of Spring Studio’s sunken living room From Gato pants accessorized with makeshift boleadoras belts to lightly frilled blouses the essence of the free-spirited gaucho was imbued in each piece Guests like Sofia Sanchez de Betak, Steven Klein, Gucci Westman, Princess Mafalda of Bulgaria, Karla Martinez de Salas, and Bee and Francesco Carrozzini could be seen admiring the new pieces.
