WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: MONDAY, JULY 17, 2023 Gap pieces from the 1990s and 2000s are wildly popular with vintage shoppers as the brand's current offerings languish in stores. Jane Birkin changed 'French girl' style forever, writes Robert Williams. Adult film star turned social media sensation Mia Khalifa has launched new jewellery line Sheytan, with designer Sara Burn. Il Makiage owner Oddity Tech's IPO could kick off a wave of fashion and beauty listings.
