*Light, Layered and Unmistakably Moncler.

 

Puffy Summer is more than a season. It’s the essence of Moncler’s DNA, evolved for lighter, brighter days outdoors – captured in a global campaign starring Jamie Dornan.

 

Moncler Collection floats into its Puffy Summer season, with the brand’s signature puffiness reimagined for lighter, brighter days outdoors. The new vision unfolds in a transitional wardrobe designed for seasonal weather shifts: soft, sculptural, colorful, and perfectly puffed for elevated layering – brought to life in a playful new campaign starring Jamie Dornan.

Born from the desire to bring Moncler’s DNA into the bright days of summer, the signature puffiness is reinterpreted through a refined yet spirited system of lightweight layers – an expression of the brand’s enduring expertise in providing comfort and protection.

 

Igniting imaginations around the Moncler Collection summer lifestyle, the accompanying campaign embraces the brand’s close connection to outdoor layers, refracted through the joyful Puffy Summer prism. Known for his standout performances in Belfast and The Fall, global icon Jamie Dornan brings relaxed charm and effortless charisma. Styled in sophisticated yet carefree pieces from the new collection, he co-stars with whimsical animal sculptures.

 

 

“There’s something really interesting about taking what Moncler’s known for and shifting it into summer. You still get that sense of warmth and puffiness, just in a lighter, more relaxed way. The whole campaign has this real sense of joy and playfulness.” Jamie Dornan

 

 

Inspired by Moncler’s signature puffiness and its instinct for layering – now reimagined for summer – the campaign presents a series of playful, inflatable-like animal sculptures created by set designer Andy Hillman and his team. An octopus, whale, lobster, seahorse, crab and flamingo appear in perfectly matched hues from the collection. Familiar seaside creatures, they embody the seasonal mood: bold, buoyant and beautifully puffy.

 

 

THE SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION

 

 

 

While summer might not evoke the same instant connection with a brand that defines quintessential cold-weather style; for 2026, Moncler Collection’s layered approach makes a new statement with the ultimate Puffy Summer wardrobe.

 

 

The dress code is elegant ease: pairing pillowy, multi-dimensional, light-as-air outerwear with perfected layers – curated for creative, fluid, yet intentional styling with a playful attitude and a new take on color – for wherever the dynamic Puffy Summer leads.

 

 

WOMEN
The palette is fresh and feminine: pastel pink, orange, forest green, and crisp neutrals ground classic summer motifs – stripes, gingham checks, and tropical florals. Outer layers are enriched with considered details, from chic bow closures and square mesh pockets to cinchable, lace-up waists and ornate orchid-inspired florals.

 

 

Mid-layers introduce lightweight, washed-nylon shells and parkas, styled alongside intricately floral-quilted shirt jackets. A sporty edge comes through in nylon hoods and drawstring toggles. Base layers balance ease and refinement, with button-down polo shirts in classic stripes, a checked pussy-bow playsuit, breezy dresses, and pastel-printed shorts.

 

 

MEN
Casual yet refined, layered looks play with a strong palette of scarlet red, sunny yellow, sky blue, rich burgundy, and clean neutrals. Lightweight fabrics define the season –whisper-weight nylon, relaxed denim, nylon-blend chambray, and crisp cotton poplin.

 

 

For transitional weather, light down gilets, windbreakers, field jackets, and no-down hooded shirt jackets offer protection with a streamlined feel. Foundations expand the styling possibilities: shorts, relaxed pants, retro bowling shirts, striped polos, and graphic tees. Crochet or striped poplin bucket hats and vibrant beanies top off the layered look.

 

 

Moncler Collection Summer 2026 is available now in selected Moncler stores and moncler.com.

Rory Linkletter, professional marathon runner and Amazfit athlete ambassador

 

 

Refined Performance, Engineered Without Excess

 

 

Speed should come from intelligent architecture, not added mass. Through structural lightness, unnecessary material is reduced while rigidity and precision are maintained, creating a marathon training watch that feels precise without feeling heavy. The Cheetah 2 Pro delivers advanced running performance in a streamlined design that feels fast, comfortable, and unobtrusive from daily training to race day.

 

 

Built for the demands of long training blocks and race day, the Cheetah 2 Pro pairs a Grade 5 titanium bottom case and middle frame with scratch-resistant sapphire glass to deliver durable, lightweight confidence without unnecessary bulk. A bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display keeps data clear and readable through early starts, shifting daylight, and late miles.

 

 

Training Designed for the Long Build

 

 

The Cheetah 2 Pro supports runners at every level with built-in running workouts focused on the foundations that matter most over distance. Aerobic base work builds endurance, threshold sessions improve efficiency, and strength-focused training supports durability so runners can handle higher mileage with greater resilience.

 

 

With Zepp Coach, runners receive intelligent, personalized training plans tailored to distances ranging from 3K to full marathon, adapting based on performance and progress. For those seeking deeper control, the watch also integrates with advanced third-party platforms such as TrainingPeaks, Runna, Strava and Intervals.icu.

 

 

Metrics for Smarter Running and Recovery

 

 

The Cheetah 2 Pro turns training data into clearer decisions, helping runners understand when to push, when to recover, and how to stay consistent through demanding training blocks. Advanced running metrics including pacing, lactate threshold, running power, gait tracking, and finish time predictions help runners better understand how they move, measure progress over time, and train with greater intention.

 

 

Within the Zepp app, recovery insights such as heart rate, HRV, sleep, and fatigue provide a more complete picture of how the body is responding to training load. Metrics including VO₂ max, fatigue level, and training status help runners make smarter decisions about when to push forward and when to prioritize recovery, supporting consistency across long training cycles.

 

 

The Most Advanced GPS in the Cheetah Lineup

 

 

Featuring advanced dual-band GPS with multi-satellite positioning, the Cheetah 2 Pro delivers precise pacing and reliable route tracking, even when routes become more complex or focus begins to fade over long distances. Whether navigating city streets or winding courses, runners can rely on accurate location data to stay on pace and on course.

 

 

Endurance That Matches the Distance

 

 

Training does not stop because the battery does. The Cheetah 2 Pro offers up to 29 hours of GPS battery life, supporting marathon cutoff times around the world and extended efforts that require reliable performance from start to finish. For everyday use, the watch also delivers up to 17 days of battery life, ensuring it keeps pace with both training cycles and daily life.

 

 

The built-in dual-mode flashlight adds confidence during early morning and late evening runs, with adjustable brightness settings designed to improve visibility during outdoor workouts.

• Ferring Global Fertility Monitor will gather data from a representative sample in 70 countries as a part of the Gallup World Poll
• Consultation to gather expert opinion on high impact questions begins this year
• The project aims to provide data and evidence to inform demography-related policymaking against a backdrop of total fertility rates dropping below replacement levels in many countries worldwide, with the U.S. reporting its lowest on record in the latest federal data released last week¹

 

Ferring Pharmaceuticals and Gallup today announced the Ferring Global Fertility Monitor, a global study on the factors influencing people’s fertility choices, at the 2026 Annual Convening of Semafor World Economy.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260415305082/en/

 

 

The Ferring Global Fertility Monitor is grounded in the recognition that declining global fertility rates are an increasingly significant public policy topic, with rates already well below replacement level in many countries. Rolled out as part of the Gallup World Poll, it will provide policymakers with robust, globally comparable data on the social, economic, cultural, and structural factors shaping fertility choices. By integrating these insights with people’s lived experiences, well-being, and aspirations, the Monitor supports more responsive, inclusive, and human-centred approaches to demographic change.

 

 

Jean-Frédéric Paulsen, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Ferring Pharmaceuticals, said: “As a company committed to supporting people on their fertility journey, we see the global debate on demographic change as one of the defining issues of our time. Around the world, questions about the future shape of populations are intensifying, yet the data needed to fully understand these shifts, and their implications, remains far too limited. This project has the potential to transform that landscape. By strengthening the global evidence base, we can deepen understanding of what is happening and why, helping governments, health systems and communities plan for a more sustainable future.”

 

 

Jon Clifton, Chief Executive Officer of Gallup, said: “We spend a lot of time debating falling fertility and birth rates, but surprisingly little time asking people why. This initiative changes that, using nationally representative data, collected consistently at a scale no one has attempted before across 70 countries.”

 

 

In 2026, the Ferring Global Fertility Monitor will be developed through an expert consultation and research process designed to identify critical evidence gaps in how fertility decisions are understood across countries. A cognitively tested questionnaire will then enter the 2027 Gallup World Poll and run as a biannual tracker. When complete, the Monitor will represent one of the most comprehensive global data and evidence bases to date on how people think about parenthood, and what helps or hinders them from realising those aspirations.

 

 

The Gallup World Poll is the world’s largest private survey infrastructure, collecting annual data from around 140 countries. All data are nationally representative of the adult population and collected either via face-to-face or telephone interviewing. The World Poll collects data on a wide range of topics, all of which speak to how people’s lives are going.

Robbyant, the embodied AI company within Ant Group, today announced the open-sourcing of LingBot-Map, a new streaming 3D reconstruction model. This innovative technology empowers robots, autonomous vehicles, and AR devices to perceive and understand their three-dimensional surroundings in real-time using only a standard RGB camera.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260416714351/en/

 

 

 

Unlike traditional 3D reconstruction methods that process a complete set of images offline, LingBot-Map operates on a “see-as-you-go” principle. It continuously estimates the camera’s position and reconstructs the scene’s 3D structure frame-by-frame as video is captured.

 

LingBot-Map sets a new benchmark for accuracy in the field. On the Oxford Spires dataset, known for its large scale and challenging lighting conditions, the model achieved an Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) of just 6.42 meters. This represents a remarkable near 2.8x improvement in trajectory accuracy over the previous best streaming method and significantly outperforms offline methods like DA3 (12.87 meters) and VIPE (10.52 meters).

 

 

The model’s superiority extends to other major benchmarks, including ETH3D, 7-Scenes, and Tanks and Temples, where it leads in both pose estimation and 3D reconstruction quality. On the ETH3D benchmark, LingBot-Map achieved a reconstruction F1 score of 98.98, more than 21 percentage points higher than the second-place method.

 

 

Beyond precision, LingBot-Map also achieves both real-time performance and long-term stability. The model achieves an inference speed of approximately 20 FPS and supports continuous inference on long video sequences exceeding 10,000 frames with almost unchanged accuracy. This capability is fundamental for applications requiring continuous, online spatial awareness, such as robot navigation, obstacle avoidance, and complex object manipulation.

 

 

The core challenge in streaming 3D reconstruction lies in balancing geometric accuracy, temporal consistency, and computational efficiency. LingBot-Map addresses this through a novel pure auto-regressive modeling approach built on a Geometric Context Transformer.

 

 

The model’s key innovation is its Geometric Context Attention (GCA) mechanism, which efficiently organizes and utilizes geometric information across frames, allowing the model to retain crucial historical context while minimizing redundant computation. Inspired by the hierarchical information management of classic SLAM systems, LingBot-Map’s architecture effectively leverages a unified model to handle tasks that traditionally require complex, hand-crafted design and optimization.

 

 

The launch of LingBot-Map marks a new step in Robbyant’s mission to build a comprehensive intelligent foundation for embodied AI. It follows the recent open-sourcing of several other major models:

 

 

• LingBot-Depth: A high-precision spatial perception model.
• LingBot-VLA: A general-purpose Vision-Language-Action model.
• LingBot-World: A world model for environmental simulation.
• LingBot-VA: An auto-regressive video-action model for robot control.

 

 

With LingBot-Map, Robbyant has further strengthened its technology stack, providing a robust solution for real-time spatial understanding and online 3D mapping.

cryptact, the crypto tax platform used by more than 200,000 investors and operated by pafin Inc., today launched an MCP server that lets AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT pull users’ profit-and-loss and portfolio data directly from their cryptact accounts. The server gives users a new way to put their crypto data to work with AI — from analysis to automation.

How It Works

Using Anthropic’s open MCP protocol, the cryptact MCP server connects AI assistants directly to a user’s cryptact account. Once connected, users can ask questions in plain language and get back profit-and-loss summaries, portfolio data, and transaction histories.

What Users Can Do

At launch, the server offers ten read-only tools. Users can pull realized P&L summaries by fiscal year or asset, search transactions by date or exchange, and check portfolio holdings with current market values and cost basis.

For example, a user can ask an AI assistant “Show me my 2025 BTC realized gains,” retrieve the annual P&L summary from their cryptact account, and use it for further analysis or automation — all within the AI assistant.

All current tools are read-only, so nothing can be modified or deleted through the server.

Part of a Broader Push

The MCP server is the second new access channel. On April 2, cryptact released a command-line interface (CLI) for developers who prefer terminal workflows. The MCP server broadens the reach further: anyone with an AI assistant can query their cryptact data in plain language — no coding or API calls needed.

Future releases may add write operations — such as editing transactions and uploading trade files — based on what users ask for.

Availability

The MCP server is free for all cryptact users, regardless of plan tier. Setup instructions are available at: https://support.cryptact.com

Note: cryptact is a tax calculation tool and does not provide tax advice. Users should consult a qualified tax accountant for filing decisions. When data is shared with third-party AI assistants, it is subject to each provider’s terms of service.

iPrudent (formerly Prudent Asset India Pvt Ltd), a leading mutual fund distribution and wealth management firm, through its mutual fund investment platform MF Bharat, today announced a focused initiative aimed at expanding mutual fund participation among gig workers and investors across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.

MF Bharat is built on the belief that mutual funds are one of the most disciplined and structured vehicles for long-term wealth creation. By combining professional fund management, structured investing discipline, and the power of compounding, the platform aims to enable every Indian- regardless of income level, geography, or background- to participate in India’s growth story.

Despite India’s growing financial awareness, mutual fund penetration remains concentrated in urban and financially aware segments. A large part of the population, especially gig workers and individuals in smaller cities, continue to remain outside the formal investment ecosystem. MF Bharat aims to bridge this gap by focusing on accessibility, simplicity, and education-led investing.

The platform is specifically designed to serve gig workers such as delivery partners, drivers, freelancers, and daily wage earners, as well as first-time investors and households in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. These segments often have the discipline to save but lack structured guidance and access to formal investment platforms.

The platform recognizes a powerful shift in behavior- where even small daily savings can become the foundation of long-term financial security. MF Bharat enables individuals to start investing with as little as Rs 100, Rs 200, or Rs 500, making investing not just accessible, but truly inclusive.

Over time, these small contributions can help individuals build meaningful financial milestones- whether it is purchasing a washing machine, refrigerator, two-wheeler, funding education, or planning for major life goals– transforming investing from a complex financial activity into a practical tool for everyday progress.

• Regenerating Skin Nectar has long played a central role in the peri-procedural skin journey as part of Alastin’s dedicated procedure support portfolio, enhancing the body’s natural processes for removing damaged collagen and elastin while creating an optimal environment for new, healthy collagen and elastin production — visibly improving how the skin prepares for, responds to, and recovers from procedures.
• With the addition of our proprietary Octapeptide‑45, Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex+™ introduces an advanced formulation that builds on the original Tri-Hex Technology® foundation, while further supporting the skin’s natural production of new collagen, elastin, and high‑molecular‑weight hyaluronic acid (HA).¹
• The new formulation also helps reinforce skin structure, restore skin barrier, and support long-term skin longevity.
• This innovation underscores Galderma’s commitment to advancing peri-procedural skincare and empowering providers with science-based solutions designed to deliver exceptional aesthetic and procedural outcomes.

 

Galderma (SIX: GALD), the pure-play dermatology category leader, today announced the launch of Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex+™, the newest innovation from Alastin, a leader in peptide-based regenerative skincare.

 

As a pioneer in peri‑procedural skincare, Alastin helped establish the category with the original Regenerating Skin Nectar — one of the first products specifically developed to prepare the skin before cosmetic procedures, complement procedural outcomes, and visibly support a smoother, accelerated recovery.

 

 

For more than a decade, it has served as a foundational peri-procedural product used by aesthetic providers to improve skin readiness and enhance treatment response. Today, among physicians who offer the brand, Alastin is their preferred peri-procedural skincare choice, and it remains the only product in this category with published clinical data demonstrating the benefits of preconditioning the skin prior to a procedure.

 

 

The new and enhanced Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex+™ builds on this foundation with an advanced formulation designed to help visibly improve how the skin prepares for, responds to, and recovers from procedures. It complements a broad range of aesthetic and surgical procedures such as facelifts, microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and radiofrequency ablation, among others.

 

 

Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex+™ is the second product to feature the next-generation TriHex+™ platform, following the successful launch of Restorative Skin Complex with TriHex+™. TriHex Technology® uniquely combines proprietary peptide components that help clear aged, damaged collagen and elastin while simultaneously supporting the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin — a dual mechanism that underpins its regenerative approach. TriHex+™ is the next evolution of this technology. The addition of proprietary Octapeptide‑45 advances this activity by supporting the skin’s natural production of high‑molecular‑weight HA, a critical component of skin structure and resilience, and working synergistically with TriHex Technology^® to further enhance production of collagen, elastin, and HA. This reinforces the skin’s underlying structural integrity, including the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), and supports the skin’s response to procedural stress in ways that contribute to more consistent outcomes and long-term skin longevity.

 

 

“Galderma continues to deepen the understanding of extracellular matrix remodeling, which is now recognized as a key driver of skin aging and longevity. Our new TriHex+™ formulation represents the evolution of our regenerative platform, focusing on key proteins and membranes that influence how the skin responds to procedural stress at a structural level. This innovation reflects our continued commitment to developing science-driven solutions that not only aid in procedural outcomes, but also support a more resilient skin recovery.”       ALAN D. WIDGEROW, MBBCH, MMED, FCS, FACS   CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER, GALDERMA   HEAD, SKIN SCIENCE CENTER FOR INNOVATION

 

Peer-reviewed clinical studies support the use of Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex+™ as a foundational peri‑procedural product. In a randomized, double‑blind facelift pre‑conditioning study, 100% of patients showed visible improvements in key extracellular matrix (ECM) markers—including collagen, elastin, and high‑molecular‑weight HA—alongside reductions in solar elastosis and a stronger, more defined DEJ.² The improvement in DEJ definition is clinically meaningful, as DEJ integrity helps skin better withstand mechanical and thermal stress during procedures.^3,4 Additional evaluations demonstrated statistically significant improvements in skin barrier function as early as 30 minutes post-application, with continued improvement through day 14, alongside increased skin hydration observed from day 3.² Clinical grading and photography showed visibly improved healing responses, including reduced appearance of erythema (redness), edema (swelling), and crusting. Split‑face microneedling evaluations also demonstrated improved tolerability compared with exosome-based products.⁵ These findings reinforce the role of peri-procedural skincare in optimizing overall treatment outcomes.

 

The formulation is water-free, preservative-free, and bacteriostatic, allowing for use immediately following procedures. This enables early integration into post-procedure care when the skin is most vulnerable and requires products that will not irritate or disrupt healing.

 

 

“In my practice, patients are looking for treatments that deliver strong results while minimizing downtime. Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar has helped support that balance by preparing the skin ahead of procedures, visibly improving how it responds during treatment, and promoting a more efficient recovery afterward. With TriHex+™, the clinical data demonstrates it supports advanced improvements in hydration, barrier function, and recovery response — factors I prioritize to help deliver more consistent, high-quality outcomes for my patients.”       NAZANIN SAEDI, MD   BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST   DERMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF PLYMOUTH MEETING

 

Galderma will launch Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex+™ in the United States this month. For an extended initial period, the product will be available exclusively through authorized Alastin skincare providers and dispensed directly through medical aesthetic practices, including dermatology and plastic surgery offices, and medical spas. Galderma is working to expand availability to additional international markets where Alastin is present.
