NEW YORK – In her sophomore collection for Kate Spade, creative director Nicola Glass stayed true to the brand’s roots in upbeat designs, adding her own twist in the use of bold colour.

For fall, Glass worked in silks and brocades. Leather embossed in a crocodile design for handbags offered a glossy shine. Her focus this season: Animal prints in her rich yellows, purples and reds.

“The brand has always been super colorful, but (I) look at new ways to use colour and more unexpected mixes,” Glass told The Associated Press before the Friday show at New York Fashion Week.

Many of her designs came in fluid silhouettes. In addition to animal print, she used stripe designs and a crochet feel in some looks. As for one of the brand’s mainstay, handbags, Glass said new designs have the heart-shape twist lock in different sizes as she worked with enamel and her new leather textures, including faux python.

Actresses KiKi Layne, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Julia Garner sat on the front row.

Layne, the “If Beale Street Could Talk” star, just landed her first major fashion campaign as the face of Kate Spade. She told the AP she still isn’t used to seeing her face everywhere and hasn’t found time to splurge on fashion buys since becoming a new Hollywood name.

“First big fashion splurge? I feel like I still haven’t done it yet,” the budding star laughed. “Not a real, real big one. I mean, everything is just getting started, so I’ve been taking care of the boring practical stuff. Trying to be a, what? A responsible adult.”

Bombers offensive co-ordinator Condell takes accountability for loss to Elks

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

Tommy Condell isn’t about to throw his hands up in frustration. That’s simply not the way the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive co-ordinator is wired.

And while the state of the offence remains a source of consternation for many in the Bombers fan base, Condell continues to plug away at ensuring steps will be taken to raise the efficiency levels down the stretch.

The club appeared to have taken a significant step forward in that category last Friday, jumping out to a 16-0 lead in the second quarter that became a 10-point cushion at the half after the Edmonton Elks scored a late major.

Then came a head-scratching third quarter that featured a pair of two-and-outs for the visitors at Commonwealth Stadium in what eventually became a 22-19 defeat.

Motion seeks to remove longtime head of Southern Chiefs’ Organization due to ‘behaviour’ concerns

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:06 PM CDT

For the second time in a year, the leadership of Southern Chiefs’ Organization Grand Chief Jerry Daniels is being called into question.

A motion obtained by the Free Press calls “immediately” for a special summit of the 33 SCO chiefs to consider removing Daniels, who’s been at the helm since 2017.

The Aug. 17 motion, put forward by Lake Manitoba First Nation Chief Cornell McLean and Bloodvein First Nation Chief Lisa Young, cites concerns about “governance, leadership, accountability, transparency, organizational decision-making and confidence of member Nations in the current leadership of the organization.”

McLean would not provide specific examples Wednesday but said the “behaviour” of Daniels is a concern.

‘Buy Canadian’ takes on new meaning

Gabrielle Piché 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

The “Buy Canadian” push has re-emerged as the federal government rolls out tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of imports from the United States.

Premier Wab Kinew led the Manitoba charge Tuesday, hours after the federal government announced the retaliatory levies that will take effect Sept. 8.

“Whether you look at it as an affordability initiative, or you look at it as a way to support our economy here, buying local always makes sense,” Kinew said at an unrelated press conference. “It makes even more sense right now.”

Mark Carney’s government has responded to new 50 per cent tariffs imposed by the United States on $27.6 billion worth of Canadian products. Trade talks between the countries broke down late Friday.

A security guard was stabbed as he tried to stop a shoplifter at a Dollarama store in Winnipeg Tuesday, the latest in a string of violent incidents at the discount chain.

Winnipeg police were called to the outlet in the Courts of St. James, at 2727 Portage Ave., around 4 p.m.

Police said the guard, who is employed by Impact Security, had confronted a man suspected of shoplifting and directed him to leave the store. The suspect pulled out a sharp-edged weapon and stabbed the guard in the upper body before fleeing with stolen merchandise.

The guard, 22, was seriously injured and was taken to hospital in unstable condition. He was later upgraded to stable condition.
