neofashion.ai, an AI content platform for fashion retailers built by UAE-based Fipera, opened self-serve access at neofashion.ai, allowing any fashion brand to generate on-brand product photography, video, and marketing or campaign content directly from its own product photos and references.

Against the backdrop of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coastline, the day’s global message underscores the importance of moving beyond awareness efforts toward establishing comprehensive safety systems that anticipate risks, prevent incidents, and minimize their impact. The Kingdom has a coastline exceeding 1,800 kilometers and is home to a growing network of public and private beaches and coastal destinations that are evolving, under the targets of Saudi Vision 2030,…
WASHINGTON — The United States has paused its airstrikes on Iran after nearly two weeks of escalating military action, as diplomatic efforts intensify to prevent a return to full-scale conflict. No U.S. strikes were reported overnight after 13 consecutive nights of bombing, raising hopes that the lull could create space for negotiations, although President Donald Trump has continued to warn that military action could resume if diplomacy fails. The pause comes ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s expected visit to Washington next week, adding another layer of uncertainty to efforts aimed at de-escalating the conflict, which will reach its…
