MILAN (AP) — Diesel brought the runway to the streets this season, hiding its collection in plain sight at locations throughout Italy’s fashion capital on the first day of Milan Fashion Week on Tuesday.

Creative director Glenn Martens created a literal Easter egg hunt, with models standing in big transparent plastic eggs to show off the edgy, youthful brand’s denim-centric distressed and treated looks.

“We decided to give the front row to the city of Milan. Instead of having a show with guests, anybody could go and see the collection at the same time,’’ Martens said.

The 55 co-ed looks for next spring and summer were hidden at 18 locations throughout the city. “Some are hidden in bars, some in sex clubs, some in gay clubs, some in churches,’’ Martens said. For the fashion crowd, a special preview was staged at the brand’s Milan headquarters, sans eggshells.

At one central piazza, a brass band playing Top 40 hits serenaded the crowd as a model in a transparent egg slouched in plaid utility pants and a V-neck T-shirt, and another danced in ruffled knitwear paired with a ruched skirt and floral tights.

Tory health critic ‘disappointed’ after being rebuffed by health officials

The health critic for the Progressive Conservative party says her ability to get information about the accelerated reopening of Dauphin’s emergency department was stymied by Prairie Mountain Health officials because they refused to meet with her.

“I wanted to meet with PMH staff to discuss the status of the facility and the challenges they’re facing and getting services back online,” Kathleen Cook said Friday.

“I was very disappointed that Prairie Mountain Health declined me that opportunity.”

Cook said she asked for a meeting a few days after the Sept. 7 reopening of a temporary ER at the hospital, that was severely damaged by flooding.

Downtown no place to be after dark, huge majority of Winnipeggers say in survey

Joyanne Pursaga 8 minute read Friday, Sep. 11, 2026

Most Winnipeggers are afraid to walk alone downtown and believe the city needs more police officers, a new survey finds.

Winnipeg Police Service released its 2026 citizen survey Friday.

Downtown safety appears to remain a major concern, with just 44 per cent saying they feel very or reasonably safe walking alone in the area during the day. The number plummets to eight per cent overall at night, down from nine per cent in 2024, the last time the survey was conducted.

This year, 14 per cent of men felt very or reasonably safe walking alone downtown at night, compared to just three per cent of women.

IIU investigating after police pursuit ends in crash

Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after a Winnipeg police pursuit Friday ended in a crash that sent one person to hospital with serious injuries.

The Winnipeg Police Service notified the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba of the incident after the crash on Broadway.

The incident began around 1:45 p.m. on Friday when a 911 caller reported seeing a man force a woman into a green Jeep-style vehicle near River Avenue and Donald Street, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Monday.

Officers later spotted a green 2023 Ford Bronco in a parking lot in the 400 block of River. Police said the driver fled as officers attempted to stop it, striking a parked vehicle, leading to a pursuit.

The port of Churchill — but done right

The port of Churchill — but done right

Editorial 4 minute read Saturday, Sep. 12, 2026

The seagoing grain carrier wasn’t christened with a champagne bottle. There was no confetti or streamers. Nevertheless, the Aug. 31 event marking the first shipment of grain to be loaded at the Port of Churchill since 2020 was celebrated like the launch of a brand new vessel.

The presence of the federal minister of northern and arctic affairs, provincial cabinet ministers and leaders and elders from several northern First Nations signalled that the fast-tracked process of refurbishing and buffing up Manitoba’s deep-water seaport gem is gaining momentum.

For OneNorth, the partnership of 29 First Nations and 12 northern communities which owns the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Railway (both operated by the Arctic Gateway Group) the event heralded a new beginning. It’s been eight years since OneNorth purchased the port and railroad, and six years since grain was moved by rail through Manitoba and then by ship to European markets. Two more grain shipments, plus shipments of potash and critical minerals, will continue through the fall.

When Prime Minister Mark Carney solicited the premiers to suggest “nation-building” projects following his election in 2025, Premier Wab Kinew pitched a Manitoba trade corridor that would move wheat, critical minerals, potash and energy (oil or liquid natural gas) through the Port of Churchill.
