Textile designer brings florals, vines and smiley doodles to brand’s luxury checks for one-off paired collection Burberry and Celia Birtwell are both national treasures of sorts. One is Britain’s grandest luxury name, the other the textile designer who dressed bohemian 1960s London in her prints and has a place in art history as David Hockney’s favourite muse. The Burberry designer Daniel Lee has always loved Birtwell’s prints. When the two met this spring, he fell for “her energy, and her zest for life”, and a one-off Burberry-meets-Birtwell collection that closed London fashion week was born. Continue reading...

Brussels: Air pollution caused almost eight million deaths worldwide in 2023, according to the State of Global Air Report 2025. The health impact is estimated by the World Bank to cost $8.1 trillion (Dh29.7 trillion) a year, around six per cent of global GDP. "Pollution remains invisible for most people," Dr María Neira, former director of environment, climate change and health at the World Health Organisation, tells Euronews Earth. She says pollutant particles reach "any organ" in the body, including the brain, contributing to cognitive decline and diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and dementia. According to Euronews, Breathe Cities, a global initiative that tackles urban air pollution, now works with 16 cities worldwide to expand access to air quality data and support clean air policies. London has cut deaths linked to toxic air by around 40 per cent since introducing its Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and other clean air measures, according to an independent study by Imperial College London. In Sofia, Bulgaria, traffic and wood-burning heating remain the two biggest sources of pollution. "By 2023, we were estimated to be one of the cities with the most deaths attributable to air pollution," Dr Kostadin Kostadinov of the Medical University of Plovdiv tells Euronews Earth. Political will, rather than technology, is now the main obstacle, according to Neira, who points to resistance from fossil fuel and transport industries as cities push for renewable energy and sustainable mobility. Climate change is expected to make the problem harder to solve. Breathe Cities is now preparing a second phase of its work, extending support to more communities as it builds on the reductions already achieved in places such as London, Sofia and other participating cities.

From a jail-inspired light sabre fight to the moment a sax-player flew, Take It or Leave It brilliantly captured the hit-makers’ grimy origins. Will the film’s return see it finally honoured as a music movie landmark? It’s March 1981 and Madness are revisiting the haunts of their recent youth with a film crew in tow. In the 18 months since releasing their debut single, The Prince, the group have become the UK’s most beloved hit-makers, their ascent abetted by inventive music videos that have left viewers of Top of the Pops and Tiswas believing a man could fly – while blowing a sax. But this new project is something else. Instead of squandering their newfound wealth on fast cars and country piles, the seven-piece have invested in a semi-fictional big-screen telling of their origin story that tempers their trademark “nuttiness” with a kitchen-sink realism suiting their working-class roots. While Take It or Leave It sank into obscurity soon after release, a new 4K restoration has primed the film for rediscovery as a time-capsule of grimy 70s London, and perhaps cinema’s most honest depiction of the challenges involved in trying to get a band together.

London: Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah has been handed a six-month driving ban in England after a Rolls-Royce registered in his name was caught speeding. According to British newspaper The Sun, the vehicle, valued at more than €466,000, was detected exceeding the speed limit by a speed camera in March 2026. The report said Salah, 34, failed to inform police who was driving the vehicle at the time of the offence. In August, a court in Warrington, Cheshire, convicted Salah in his absence for failing to identify the driver and imposed a six-month driving disqualification along with a fine of €769. The report added that Salah did not respond to two notices sent to his mansion, which is estimated to be worth more than €5 million. The offence reportedly occurred in the Wilmslow area of Cheshire, two days after he announced his departure from Liverpool. This is not the first time Salah has faced motoring-related issues. In 2022, he was caught speeding while driving his Ferrari F8 Tributo and received a fine along with three penalty points on his driving licence. He was also photographed using a mobile phone while driving near Anfield in 2018.
Brand returns to its physical and unconventional roots as it battles undergoes stark restructuring Back when a young Lee McQueen was showing at London fashion week, there was Dante, the show in a Hawksmoor church with a skeleton in the front row and a blaring soundtrack of organ music and gunfire. And there was Voss, where models were trapped inside a giant mirrored box set up as a psychiatric ward. Twenty-five years later, the Alexander McQueen brand returned from the Paris schedule to a creepily beautiful subterranean 17th century London chapel, with steel harnesses, bulky ankle strapped heels that looked like electronic monitoring tags, and a chain mail dress of tiny silver skulls.
