London – Moschino’s former creative director, Rossella Jardini, is set to make her
comeback close to two years following her departure from the Italian label
after close to twenty years at the helm. The designer will unveil her debut
namesake women’s wear collection, under her own label to buyers only during
a presentation at the upcoming Milan Fashion Week.

The decision to create her own label came after Jardini worked as a
consultant at “This brand was born for a lucky
concatenation of events,” said Jardini to WWD. “After working for six
months next to Angela Missoni, I took a break, but then I met some of my
former assistants at Moschino and they pushed me to start designing a shirt
collection, which rapidly became a full ready-to-wear line.”

The collection, which sits in the luxury end of the fashion-market, is said
to reflect the designer’s signature style, combining feminine styles with a
touch of comfort and practicality resulting in loose shirts with delicate
embellishments combined with fluid skirts or flared trousers. The
collection was produced under license by Cimme and will be distributed by
Milan’s showroom L.A. Distribuzione.

Jardini is keen to expand the collection in the future to offer other
categories as well. “My idea is to also develop shoes, bijoux and bags,
which are my first love considering the five years I spent at Bottega
Veneta.”

New York – AllSaints recently released their new handbag collection called The Capital
Collection, and apparently that isn’t the only accessories market they are
trying to find their place in. The edgy label has announced that they will
be partnering with Camuto Group for a footwear collection that will be
released in 2016. Their main priority right now seems to be expanding their
non-apparel categories, and they are certainly finding all the right
partners to do so.

Camuto Group partners with other labels on their footwear collections,
including Tory Burch and BCBG Max Azria. After 21 years as a label,
AllSaints is really amping up their efforts to expand in other categories.
It is too early to tell how their handbag sales are going, but in 2014
their sales grew more than ten percent, so shoppers are certainly flocking
to the company’s stores.

In a statement, CEO William Kim said, “As AllSaints grows its non-apparel
categories globally, we are excited to be partnering with the world’s
leading footwear experts at Camuto Group. We see huge potential in footwear
with this collaboration.” The collection will be AllSaints’ most complete
and extensive footwear line to date.

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has declined a major environmental prize, saying that the “climate movement does not need any more awards.”

Teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg has turned down a major environmental prize.

“It is a huge honor,” Thunberg said of the Nordic Council Environment Prize. “But the climate movement does not need any more awards.”

“What we need is for our politicians and the people in power to start listening to the current, best available science,” she added.

The award Thunberg rejected came with prize money of 350,000 Danish kroner — about $52,000.

The Swedish activist, who is currently traveling in North America, was also a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. That award ultimately went to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali.

The Nordic Council, an organization aimed at promoting cooperation between Nordic governments, awarded Thunberg the prize for “breathing new life into the debate surrounding the environment and climate at a critical moment in world history.”

“She has stubbornly and persuasively urged the world to listen to research and act on the basis of facts,” the council said in a statement.

Council president Hans Wallmark said that the body respects both Thunberg’s decision to turn down the award “and the reasons for this decision.”

As for the $52,000 award, Wallmark said the council “will now think carefully about what to do with the prize money.”

In a statement on Instagram explaining why she declined, Thunberg slammed the council’s member countries for not taking firmer action on climate change.

“The Nordic countries have a great reputation around the world when it comes to climate and environmental issues,” she said. “But when it comes to our actual emissions and our ecological footprints per capita — if we include our consumption, our imports as well as aviation and shipping — then it’s a whole other story.”

Thunberg referenced a recent WWF and Global Footprint Network report that stated Swedes, and other EU residents, are depleting natural ecosystems far faster than they can renew.

The German city of Dresden has declared a “Nazi emergency” in response to years of “right-wing extremist, racist” activity in the city, CNN reports.

Dresden city officials passed a resolution this week cautioning that the far-right was growing in the city.

Max Aschenbach, councilor for the Die Partei – Germany’s satirical political party – told the news network “The word ‘Nazinotstand’ is an exaggerated term that highlights the fact that there is a serious problem — similar to the climate emergency — with right-wing extremism right up to the middle of society.”

CNN reports that for a long time, anti-immigrant and racist sentiment has been building in this part of Germany. The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party reportedly won 27.5 percent of the vote in recent regional elections, signaling the city population’s favor of far-right, extremist beliefs.   

In 2017, the AfD became the first far-right party in Germany’s national parliament in nearly 60 years when it came in third place overall in federal elections.

“For years, politicians have failed to position themselves clearly and unequivocally against the right-wing extremists, and to outlaw them,” Aschenbach told CNN. 

Aschenbach says that his goal is to make a clear statement against bigotry and “show commitment” to a “democratic, open, pluralistic society.”

Turkey Saturday threatened to send captured Islamic State members back to their home countries, saying Europe was taking insufficient action to deal with the detained fighters.

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu accused Europe of refusing to take back citizens who joined the terrorist group, saying it was not “acceptable” to leave Turkey to deal with the prisoners alone.

“That is not acceptable to us. It’s also irresponsible,” he said, according to Reuters.

“We will send the captured Daesh members to their countries,” he added, using another name for ISIS.

European governments have been divided over whether to repatriate citizens who traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight for the terrorist group; France has advocated returning its citizens so they can face justice, while Germany has opted to allow its nationals to remain in the custody of Kurdish groups.

However, the issue has become more urgent in recent weeks as some fighters detained by the Kurds in northeastern Syria escaped during a Turkey offensive in the area. Some have since been re-captured by Turkish forces.

While the debate over what to do with detained ISIS members could prove to be a wedge issue, President TrumpDonald John TrumpJudge blocks White House’s health care requirement for new immigrants: report Trump gets deluge of boos upon entering MSG prior to UFC 244 Trump: ‘I would love’ to host Ukrainian president at White House MORE has not expressed concern over the fighters.

“Well they are going to be escaping to Europe, that’s where they want to go. They want to go back to their homes. But Europe didn’t want them for months,” he said at a press conference last month. “They could have had trials, they could have done whatever they wanted, but as usual, it’s not reciprocal.”

The Democrat-led House of Representatives is leading an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. While momentum toward impeachment had been building among Democrats for months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced a formal inquiry in September — after a whistleblower complaint about a White House phone call with Ukraine.

In a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump asked for an investigation into a debunked conspiracy theory about the 2016 election and into potential 2020 rival and former Vice President Joe Biden. The White House is also accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine for Trump’s personal political gain. Trump maintains that he has done nothing wrong.

Here is the key information you need in order to understand an increasingly complicated affair. Read the latest coverage of the inquiry here.

White House hopeful Sen. Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth Ann WarrenOvernight Health Care: Warren unveils ‘Medicare for All’ funding plan | Warren says plan won’t raise middle class taxes | Rivals question claims | Biden camp says plan will hit ‘American workers’ | Trump taps cancer doctor Stephen Hahn for FDA chief O’Rourke ends presidential bid Five things to know about Warren’s ‘Medicare for All’ funding plan MORE (D-Mass.) fired back at former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenSaagar Enjeti: Difficult to overstate the miserable state that Obama and Biden left this country in Trump singles in on ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ at campaign rally Trump at rally says impeachment an ‘attack on democracy itself’ MORE over his criticism of her newly released “Medicare for All” plan after her 2020 rival blasted her over the plan’s cost.

“The cost projections that we have on Medicare were authenticated by President Obama’s head of Medicare. Our revenue projections were authenticated by President Obama’s labor economist. And the employer contribution is already part of the Affordable Care Act that President Obama put into the Affordable Care Act,” Warren told reporters Friday. “So if Joe Biden doesn’t like that, I’m just not sure where he’s going.”

Warren on Friday released a plan for how to pay for Medicare for All that would not include any direct tax increases on the middle class. Warren has been under pressure from rivals, including Biden, to explain how she would cover the large cost of her plan.

Biden slammed the plan, saying that the plan’s proposed $9 trillion tax on employers would be passed off to companies’ employees. 

“For months, Elizabeth Warren has refused to say if her health care plan would raise taxes on the middle class, and now we know why: because it does,” said Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield. “Senator Warren would place a new tax of nearly $9 trillion that will fall on American workers.” 

Several other 2020 candidates also panned the proposal, largely over its cost.

“Democrats are not going to win by repeating Republican talking points and by dusting off the points of view of the giant insurance companies and the giant drug companies who don’t want to see any change in the law that will bite into their profits,” Warren fired back.

“But if anyone wants to defend keeping those high profits for insurance companies and those high profits for drug companies and not making the top 1 percent pay a fair share in taxes and not making corporations pay a fair share in taxes, then I think they’re running in the wrong presidential primary,” she added.

Raising taxes on wealthy Americans has been one of the few unifying issues in the 2020 primary field, and nearly all the contenders have said they intend to do so.

A court in Barcelona, Spain, cleared five men of sexual assault charges on Thursday, saying that the crime didn’t fit the legal definition of rape since the teenage victim was unconscious and didn’t fight back, according to CNN.

Per Spanish law, a sexual attack can only be defined as rape if the perpetrator uses violence or intimidation. Because the 14-year-old girl was unconscious, the men were convicted of sexual abuse, a lesser charge.

The Spanish court sentenced the men to 10 to 12 years of prison.

A statement on the court’s website says that the men took turns performing sexual acts on the unconscious teenager at a party in Manresa, a town northwest of Barcelona, in 2016.

“The sexual attack on the victim was extremely intense and especially denigrating, and in addition, it was produced on a minor who was in a helpless situation,” the court said in the press release.

The court added, however, that the victim was “in a state of unconsciousness … without being able to determine and accept or oppose the sexual relations maintained with defendants, who could perform sexual acts without using any type of violence or intimidation.”

CNN did not report the ages or names of the defendants.

Sens. Ted CruzRafael (Ted) Edward CruzCruz, Cotton: US should withdraw from surveillance flight treaty The Memo: After Vindman, GOP anxiety deepens Trump’s Russia ambassador nominee say US hasn’t withdrawn from surveillance flight treaty MORE (R-Texas) and Tom CottonThomas (Tom) Bryant CottonCruz, Cotton: US should withdraw from surveillance flight treaty Dem lawmaker raises concerns over ‘eavesdropping’ smart speakers Overnight Defense: Top general briefs GOP senators on Syria plan | Senators ‘encouraged’ by briefing | Pence huddles with Republican allies on Syria | Trump nominee sidesteps questions on arms treaties MORE (R-Ark.) on Wednesday introduced a resolution to withdraw the U.S. from the Open Skies Treaty, which allows treaty members to fly unarmed observation flights over the territory of other signatories. 

“Russia is in open violation of the Open Skies Treaty,” Cruz said in a statement. “It enhances Russia’s surveillance of major American cities, strengthens Russia’s espionage capabilities, and costs the United States millions of dollars. The treaty no longer serves America’s national security interests, and it is long past time the United States withdraw.”

Cotton added, “The Open Skies Treaty could be more appropriately named the ‘Russian Spies Over America Treaty.’ America ought to withdraw from this flawed accord, which invites Russia to fly spy planes over our houses while Putin violates the treaty by restricting U.S. flights over Russia.” 

The treaty, which has been in effect since 2002, is intended to increase transparency and minimize military miscalculations among its 34 signatories. 

Republicans have said for years that Russia was in violation of the pact by blocking flights over parts of its territory. Democrats have agreed that Russia’s actions were concerning but have argued that they should be addressed while the U.S. remains part of the accord.

Withdrawing from the treaty would require a formal notice to its other members, launching a six-month exit process.

The federal government’s outstanding public debt has surpassed $23 trillion for the first time in history, according to data from the Treasury Department released on Friday.

Growing budget deficits have added to the nation’s debt at a speedy rate since President TrumpDonald John TrumpTrump singles in on ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ at campaign rally Trump at rally says impeachment an ‘attack on democracy itself’ GOP lawmaker says House impeachment rules vote ‘doesn’t change anything for me’ MORE took office. The debt has grown some 16 percent since Trump’s inauguration, when it stood at $19.9 trillion. It passed $22 trillion for the first time just 10 months ago.

Of the $23 trillion figure, just under $17 trillion was in the category of debt held by the public, which is a more useful gauge of the debt the government has to pay down, and the number typically used in calculating the nation’s debt burden. The other $6 trillion comes from loans within government bodies.

Still, the $23 trillion figure marks a milestone.

“Reaching $23 trillion in debt on Halloween is a scary milestone for our economy and the next generation, but Washington shows no fear,” said Michael A. Peterson, CEO of the fiscally conservative Peter G. Peterson Foundation.

“Piling on debt like this is especially unwise and unnecessary in a strong economy,” he added.

High levels of debt can push up borrowing costs and interest rates, “crowd out” private borrowing and weigh down budgets. In the 2019 fiscal year, for example, the government had to devote $376 billion just to pay the interest on the debt, equivalent to nearly half the defense budget, and more than the amount spent on the combined costs of education, agriculture, transportation and housing.

The deficit for 2019 came in just under $1 trillion, at $984 billion, and is only expected to grow in coming years.

While the main drivers of spending are mandatory programs such as Social Security, Medicare and anti-poverty programs, major legislation has grown the deficit considerably since Trump came to office.

The 2017 GOP tax law was estimated to cost $1.9 trillion over a decade, while bipartisan deals to boost defense and domestic spending ramped up outlays each year.
