Vale Giorgio Armani
Mr Armani, as everyone knew him, has died at 91. He was equally elegant and enigmatic: the 'architect of how we dress now'.
Full of vim  
No celebration of Armani's legacy would be complete with pictures. Those suits!
Clocking in  
Good news: Chloe Malle has been named head of Vogue US after Anna Wintour stepped back in July. She seems nice!
Is that him?  
Bad news: Shein displayed a listing for a shirt featuring an image resembling Luigi Mangione.

Is Emerald Fennell an edgelord or an auteurist mastermind? Is Wuthering Heights the matcha Labubu of cinema? Do we love or hate Charli xcx now? Maybe it’s all marketing’s fault? What does it all mean? Why is my entire timeline Wuthering Heights? I never want to hear about this film again.

Another album – cat impression

A book – self-expression  
Tenderfoot by Toni Jordan follows a 12-year-old girl coming of age in 70s Brisbane amid a family of gamblers. It might just become an Australian classic.

A film – new obsession  
Sorry, Baby is the little film that could: a Sundance breakout that tackles a trauma plot with bracing humour and striking naturalism. In cinemas now!

They're fighting dirty.
We're fighting back.

Decades of hard-won progress against the climate crisis is being dismantled at a frightening pace by a coalition of denialist politicians and fossil fuel forces. The Guardian’s factual, pro-science reporting is committed to exposing them.

We’re running our annual climate appeal, so if you can, please consider supporting our open, independent journalism on a monthly basis from €4, or just once from €1. It’s quick and it makes a huge difference. Thank you.
