Inside the eclectic Milanese home of Dsquared2’s head designer Federica Viero
March 24, 2023 - 00:51 GMT Federica Viero has eschewed traditional Italian decor. Instead, it’s an eclectic combination of Scandi fittings, French furniture and artworks from New York, along with touches of English Victoriana - read more For Federica Viero, her love of design began at the tender age of six. Growing up in Veneto, north-western Italy, she lived in an 80s villa, which, as her family were not interested in decorating, she describes as “nothing special”. A turning point was being invited to a friend’s house for lunch as a child. “It was one of those amazing old country Veneto villas, with huge rooms and amazing fixtures, so I guess I started from there.” After graduating from Marangoni Fashion Institute in Milan and working for “a couple of fashion brands”, Federica joined Dsquared2 in 1997, she is now group head of design. “Let’s just say I grew up there,” she says, of the fashion house owned by Canadian twin brothers Dean … [Read more...] about Inside the eclectic Milanese home of Dsquared2’s head designer Federica Viero

‘UK’s most flooded town’ where residents expect homes to be completely underwater soon
Fed up residents of the "most flooded town in the UK" expect their homes to be completely underwater in the years to come, as water once again causes havoc. Cornwall Live reported last year that the lovely seaside town of Looe is "known for" its propensity to flood, so much so that climate scientists predict that, in about a century, several parts of the town will be lost to the sea. Just this week, 'high spring tides' caused chaos in Looe yet again, forcing road closures and a flurry of flood warnings. READ MORE: Pilot in SeaWorld crash that killed four reveals what happened moments before disaster Angie Aldridge, who works at Looe's Sarah's Cake Shop, tells The Sun on our visit: "We are fortunate that we are up a couple of steps, but when it does flood there are no ways around town, and when the tide goes out again it leaves mud and debris."

Muggers almost killed me on holiday in London – I spent four years in hospital and had 65 operations but now I’m home
A TOURIST who almost died after a violent mugging on holiday in Britain spent the next four years in hospital and had 65 operations to rebuild his shattered skull. Ben Finlan, from Toronto in Canada , suffered multiple skull fractures and brain bleeds after he was mugged outside a bar in central London - with his attackers still at large today. Medics told Ben's family to fly from Canada to London immediately, as they were unsure whether he would survive the night. Part of his skull was removed in an emergency brain decompression surgery to save his life - but the titanium mesh it was replaced with became infected, leading to more life-threatening complications. Ben's family and his girlfriend Katherine Smith moved to London to be with him during his four-year recovery in hospital following the brutal attack on December 3, 2018. Posting on TikTok, Katherine said: "Ben was attacked in London in December 2018.
