Ferragamo's chartreuse bags and shoes pop against 1920s- inspired co-ed collection

MILAN (AP) — Chartreuse accessories popped against Maximilian Davis' latest Ferragamo collection, previewed on Saturday during Milan Fashion Week in the same courtyard of the brand’s Portrait Hotel where he made his debut as creative director three years ago.

The co-ed collection inspired by the 1920s featured slinky, seductive and sheer womenswear, complemented by men’s speakeasy suiting with broad shoulders and long jackets. Dresses alternated between sheer chiffons and clingy knits, slightly illicit in their reveal.

Silken scarves tied around the rear ends of the men's suits created an unexpectedly sexy silhouette. The same styling trick on dresses and a generous dose of fringe recalled flappers.

Vinyl overcoats were a hedge against the rain that threatened the outdoor runway show. Pointed mules with a reverse sculptural heel were the footwear of choice, while mini pouches and clutches finished the looks — often providing a pop of color.

Christy Turlington and Naomi Watts were among the front-row guests.

ANGOULEME, France (AP) — Three former Grenoble rugby players serving time for the rape of a 20-year-old student in 2017 have lost an appeal against their convictions and prison sentences.

An appeals court in France on Saturday re-imposed the original sentences of prison terms up to 14 years.

Irishman Denis Coulson and Frenchman Loïck Jammes were sentenced to 14 years in prison, and New Zealand's Rory Grice to 12 years.

The victim had lodged a complaint in March 2017 following Grenoble’s match in the southwestern French city of Bordeaux. According to French media reports, she said she had met the players during an alcohol-fueled night and was raped in a hotel in the outskirts of Bordeaux.

A court sentenced the men to prison in December 2024, and all three have been in prison since. They claimed that the sexual encounter had been consensual.

“To reach the same decision as in the first instance, the court and the jurors took into account the seriousness of the facts,” said the court presiding judge, Marie-Dominique Boulard-Paoloni, as quoted by L'Equipe newspaper. “We also considered the absence of any notable change compared to the previous decision. You now have ten days to lodge an appeal in cassation.”

Lawyers for the defendants said they would appeal to the Court of Cassation, France's highest court of the judicial order.
