Giambattista Valli Is Launching (Very Expensive) Athleisure


If you thought athleisure was a fading trend, think again. Giambattista Valli, known for his dreamy ball gowns loved by Rihanna, will be releasing a 50+ piece activewear collection in January 2018.
“It’s a capsule collection where we will express a more functional side of the brand, while remaining faithful to the atmosphere of contemporary chic that is part of its DNA,” Valli told WWD.
This isn't the first time Valli has dabbled in sportswear. He collaborated with Moncler Gamme Rouge, a ten-year partnership that ended this year with a final ballerina-inspired collection. His eponymous Fall 2017 runway featured Nike leggings styled with his signature couture shapes.

But don't expect to be running in tiered taffeta; This collection is not actual performance gear. Think puffer jackets, track suits and après-ski gear, with beachwear to eventually follow. The collection will retail from €1,100 to €2,500. What did you expect? This is athleisure, but make it couture.

Dad confronts teenage daughter after finding her 'sex toy' - it doesn't end well for him

A sneaky snoop around his daughter's room escalated for one dad Teenagers will go to great lengths to hide things from their parents. This is because plenty of teenagers live in fear of their parents snooping through their stuff - normally under the guise of 'cleaning' - and finding something they shouldn't. Of course, many parents have seen/heard/done it all before, but that doesn't matter. Secrecy is everything. Occasionally, however, parents get it wrong. Emily, a teenager in the US, was at a friend’s place when she received a rather alarming text from her father. "When we get home we need to talk," the message read. Words no one wants to hear, at any age. Emily's dear old dad found an object in his daughter's room which he was convinced was a vibrator. Oh dear   (Image: @__emmiilly/Twitter) "Well I found this," he wrote, including an image of the offending object. "Why are you making these purchases. That is disgusting! You shoul...
