Dani G. × Karina Brez

International Show Jumper Dani G. Waldmanm Collaborates with Karina Brez on Fearless Feathers.

Style meets confidence in vibrant equine collection, Fearless Feathers by Dani G.

American-Israeli show jumper and Olympian, Dani G., is internationally acclaimed for her championship talent and exceptional taste. Her signature riding style features colorful feather hair extensions with matching athleisure— a delight to those on the circuit. Confident, original, and versatile, Dani G. believes in self-expression, promoting a lifestyle of living fearlessly and on one’s own terms. Dani G.’s arena aura and positive attitude caught the attention of renowned equestrian jeweler, Karina Brez, and the two have collaborated on a new collection launching bold and blazing rings and bracelets, for those who unapologetically ride through life.

“For all my life, I have tried to live everyday fearlessly as an entrepreneur in a competitive business, so, being able to collaborate on this collection with Dani G. has been such an amazing outlet of creativity for me,” says Karina Brez. “My hope for those who will wear these pieces is that the design brings them happiness, confidence, and the courage to express themselves through jewelry.”

The Fearless Feathers Collection by Dani G. consists of six show-stopping designs, hugging two sides with a feather and a horse hoof. The Fearless Feathers Yellow Gold and Orange Sapphires Bracelet is comprised of 0.13 ct. diamonds decorating the horse hoof, accompanied by 0.23 ct. orange sapphires along the middle of the feather, also available in 14K rose gold and white gold. The Fearless Feathers Rose Gold and Multicolor Sapphires Bracelet has 0.13 ct. diamonds adorning the horse hoof, with 0.23 ct. rainbow sapphires in the center of the feather. The Fearless Feathers Rose Gold and Diamond Bracelet contains 0.3 0ct. diamonds trimmed along the top and bottom of the horse hoof; the piece is also available in 14K yellow or white gold. Each bracelet embodies the fearlessness of the wearer, and is available in all diamonds, a rainbow of sapphire colors, or in a blue or pink sapphire ombre.

“I believe everyone, on some level, just wants to be noticed. Some people want to be stars and others just want to be acknowledged, but on some level, we all just want to be seen for who we really are, what we wear, what we say, how we present ourselves to the outside world says this is me. This is who I am,” states Dani G. Waldman. “I’ve been an admirer of Karina Brez for years, not only for her creative equestrian designs, but specifically for her entrepreneurial acumen. I felt that if we put our two fearless minds together, we’d be able to create something that would empower people to embrace and express their authentic selves.” 

Fearless Feathers Collection rings are paired with collection bracelets perfectly. The Fearless Feathers White Gold and Orange Sapphires Ring has 0.10 ct. diamonds decorating the horse hoof, accompanied by 0.18 ct. orange sapphires, along the middle of the feather available. The Fearless Feathers White Gold and Diamonds Ring  has 0.23 ct. diamonds, while the Fearless Feathers Rose Gold and Blue Sapphires Ring includes 0.09 ct. diamonds adorning the horse hoof, with 0.13 ct. blue sapphires in the center. The Fearless Feathers Yellow Gold and Orange Sapphires Bracelet is comprised of 0.13 ct. diamonds decorating the horse hoof, accompanied with 0.23 ct. orange sapphires along the middle of the feather. The Fearless Feathers Rose Gold and Multicolor Sapphires Bracelet included 0.13 ct. diamonds adorning the horse hoof with 0. 23 ct. rainbow sapphires, within the center of the feather. The Fearless Feathers Rose Gold and Diamond Bracelet contains 0.30 ct. diamonds trimmed along the top and bottom of the horse hoof and the center of the feather the classic design of a precious metal and diamonds.

Regarding individuality and personalization, Dani G. Waldman states, “One way I have always expressed my inner creativity and uniqueness is through accessorizing with jewelry. It’s such a great way to subtly express mood based on color choice or style or genre: some days you feel goth, some days you feel romantic, some days you want to use color to elevate a look and sometimes you just want to blend in with neutrals. Jewelry is so personal, and one of the best things about wearing rings and bracelets is that they aren’t just for other people to enjoy and admire, but to look down and see wearable art on yourself – that’s a confidence booster if you ask me!”

The Fearless Feathers Collection is a celebration of self-love by one’s own rules, on the course charted. Karina Brez and Dani G. encourage followers to use the hashtag #FearlessFeathers alongside a life moment, when boldness kicked in.

REEBOK- THE BLAST via 360 MAGAZINE

Reebok’s “The Blast” x Extras Collection

In spring of 1996, Reebok introduced its Mobius Collection, a dramatic group of high-performance athletic shoes that share a unique design theme of continuous motion. Mobius would create a visual frequency across the brand that made a statement on courts, fields, and in gyms across the world.

One of the most polarizing ‘silhouettes in this late ‘90s collection was “The Blast,” a disruptive basketball shoe described by the brand in unique fashion: “The Blast’s positive/negative asymmetrical design brings the left and right foot together in a way no other shoe has.” For 2023, over 25 years later, “The Blast” remains one of the most compelling and historic basketball sneakers to ever hit the hardwood.

“The Blast” ($160, GZ9519) officially returns March 3 from Reebok.comHibbet, and Snipes, among other select retailers.


Today Reebok announces its latest inline collection – Extras – featuring platform versions of its beloved Club C and Classic Leather models.

The Reebok ‘Extras’ collection was designed for those who approach their style with attitude and make an entrance when they walk into every room. The line includes two new women’s classics silhouettes– the Club C Extra and Classic Leather SP Extra – with the most lightweight platform soles to come from the brand making the shoes ultra-comfortable and incredibly wearable.

Both the Club C Extra and Classic Leather SP Extra take design cues from the OG models and include enhanced features to bring the shoes to the next level. The Club C Extra is an evolution of previous platform silhouettes featuring the highest sole ever on the Club C and an exaggerated design on the upper with multiple overlays. Utilizing a new, 3D sculpted midsole and rubber rippled outsole the Classic Leather SP Extra is the most eye-catching Classic Leather silhouette yet.

The Club C Extra (IE6679) and Classic Leather SP Extra (HQ7196) are currently available in white and various colorways on Reebok.com/platforms for $90 MSRP. Both silhouettes will be available in additional colorways throughout the year.

Transform Your Arms with the Latest Techniques in Arm Lifting

Welcome to the world of arm lifting! With the help of the latest techniques, you can now transform your arms into a work of art. Arm lifting is an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure that helps improve the look and feel of arms by removing excess skin, fat, and other tissue.

This procedure can help create a more toned and youthful appearance in the upper arms. Whether you’re looking to enhance muscle definition or simply reduce sagging skin, arm lifting offers an effective solution for achieving your aesthetic goals.

In this article, we’ll discuss the various types of arm lifts available today as well as what to expect during surgery and recovery. Read on to learn more about how this transformative treatment can help give you back your confidence again!

Benefits of Arm Lifting 

Arm lifts can provide a number of benefits to people looking to improve the appearance of their arms. Some of the most common advantages include: 

  • Reduced sagging skin in the upper arms 
  • Improved muscle definition and tone 
  • A more youthful and contoured look overall 
  • Enhanced self esteem and confidence in wearing short sleeve shirts or swimsuits

Arm lifting can be an effective tool for achieving a sleek, toned upper arm area which is often difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone. It is also one of the best options available today for reducing excess fat while tightening loose skin to create a smoother, firmer appearance.

With arm lifting, you can get back your confidence and feel empowered to show off your new look! 

Types of Arm Lifts Available 

There are several types of arm lifts available depending on the individual’s needs. The most common techniques used for arm lifting include: 

Standard Arm Lift

This procedure is often used for people with a moderate amount of loose skin or fat in the upper arms. It involves an incision made from elbow to armpit, which allows the surgeon to remove excess tissue and tighten remaining skin as needed. 

Mini Arm Lift

Also known as a brachioplasty, this technique is ideal for individuals who only have minimal amounts of excess skin and fat in the upper arms. It involves making a shorter incision near the armpit, allowing for less aggressive tissue removal while still providing good results. 

Liposuction

This procedure is typically used when there is an abundance of fat but minimal amounts of loose skin. During a liposuction procedure, small suction devices are used to remove fat cells from the area, creating smoother contours without much downtime.

No matter which technique you choose, arm lifts can help to create a more toned and youthful appearance in your arms. Your surgeon will be able to determine which method is best for your individual needs during your initial consultation.  

What To Expect During Surgery and Recovery 

Arm lifts are typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, although local anesthetic may be used for smaller procedures. Surgery usually takes between one to three hours depending on the type of procedure being done, and you can expect some swelling and bruising after surgery which will gradually subside over time.

It is important to follow all post-operative instructions from your physician regarding exercise, lifting, and any necessary medications in order to ensure optimal results. Most patients return to their normal activities within a few weeks following surgery but should avoid strenuous activities such as exercising until fully healed. 

Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results

Once your arm lift is complete, it is important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon in order to ensure optimal results. This may include wearing a compression garment and avoiding direct sunlight or any activity that could cause further tension on the arm area. Additionally, it is important to keep the incision site clean and dry to prevent infection and scarring. 

Cost Considerations for Arm Lift Procedures 

The cost of an arm lift procedure varies depending on the extent of surgery needed as well as other factors such as geographic location and insurance coverage. Most patients should expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 – $7,000 for the procedure itself plus any additional fees associated with hospital stays or anesthesia costs. Additionally, there may be additional costs related to aftercare or follow-up visits. 

Final Thoughts on the Transformative Power of Arm Lifting 

Overall, an arm lift can help to improve your body confidence by creating smoother and more toned arms. It is important to discuss all of your questions and concerns with a qualified medical professional prior to making any decisions about surgery. With the right care, you can enjoy the results of an arm lift for years to come!

How Slot Games Turned Chic

Some casino games automatically exude an allure of coolness. Poker is the obvious example, with its high stakes and buoyant media personalities in televised events. Slots are now encroaching on that trend, with manufacturers managing to make low-stakes-low-payout a winning model. Games have evolved immensely over the past few years, providing complex bonus rounds and huge wins. Below, we clear up the myth and discuss how slot games have managed to turn chic. 

Bonuses and Tailored Experiences

One way slots began to overcome this was with the provision of a variety of bonuses for different types of players. It’s been some time since you had to travel to a physical casino to play a limited range of games with similar outcomes. Most quality online casinos nowadays have a range of promotions depending on how you like to play.

If players don’t want to spend money while they grasp their concepts, they can even consider playing by using bonuses and offers for a short time. But for new players who decide to play online slots using real money, it’s possible to get bonus codes to use on hundreds of different games, sometimes with no play-through requirements. As they vary depending on how much you want to deposit, you can tailor your experience to smaller payouts, but also to larger ones.

Choice of Games

Slot games once had a rigid design, set of rules, and outcomes. Bar symbols and fruit were the order of the day. Slot developers have now progressed, adding a range of different styles and classy finishes to the experiences they offer. One way they have done this is with bonus rounds. These will provide an almost game show-like experience, as people connect with hosts and their assistants in a studio and view them through streaming. They get the chance to increase the amount wagered or win outright cash prizes.

When it comes to finding larger payouts, the biggest win in history came from the legendary Megabucks machine. These land-based games run on a progressive jackpot. This is when a small amount gets taken from each stake made across other linked machines. The money feeds into a total, which becomes a huge jackpot. Once accessed via the slot game bonus rounds, players are in with a chance to scoop the grand prize.

The high-paying Megabucks slots are limited to physical casinos in Las Vegas, but there are online equivalents making it easier to find these games if that’s what you’re looking for. Known as Megaways, they follow the same premise, using a progressive jackpot to reach a high total. Megaways games have a very innovative system that adds reels to the game as you play. Systems like this have also been adapted in a range of different ways, often having very stylish interfaces and design aspects.

VIP Offerings

A great way to make something desirable is to make it exclusive, and casinos have done just that with their slot games by adding VIP programs.

VIP programs work like the loyalty schemes you may have used in Walmart and so on, but they come in different tier levels. Players may start on bronze, then work up through silver, gold, and platinum as they deposit more money. The higher they go, the better the rewards and incentives become. For example, at the bronze level, they may get credit added to their account and free spins on slot games. Higher levels may enter them into prize draws, give increased amounts of credit and provide more free spins. 

All of these factors have improved slot games, boosting them to a new level. With online casual play, they are easy to take part in while on the move or at home. All that remains is to try them out for yourself.

Red Bull Half Court 3x3 Basketball Competition

Fila × Red Bull

FILA, the iconic global sports brand, has teamed up with Red Bull Half Court, merging two brands who have influenced the lifestyle and culture of sport. After signing agreements with Suzanne Schulting, multiple medalist in short-track skating, the e-sports team Ninjas in Pyjamas, and b-girl Alessandra Chillemi, FILA has officially partnered with Red Bull Half Court, the world’s foremost 3×3 basketball competition.

For the next three years, FILA will serve as the Official Global Apparel and Footwear Partner, providing a total look for all athletes, referees, and staff in every match of the tournament, from the qualifiers to the finals.

With this partnership, FILA celebrates the spirit and culture of streetball, as the distinguishing feature of 3×3 is that it’s played in a context that involves not only sports but art and music. A culture unto itself, Red Bull Half Court is an entire lifestyle and encourages the creation of innovative content that spans disciplines.

The Red Bull Half Court partnership further cements FILA as a leader in sport, fashion and lifestyle. As in the case of Alessandra Chillemi[HZ1] , who is sponsored by both Red Bull and FILA and is a true ambassador of style, the brand has an opportunity to fuse the past and future, merging the street and sportswear lifestyle spheres.

Red Bull Half Court, the most celebrated international 3×3 basketball competition on the planet, boasts more than 15,000 participants and athletes from around the world, all vying for a spot at the World Finals in Belgrade in the fall of 2023. It also represents a further step in view of the Olympics, particularly since the debut of 3×3 at Tokyo 2020 as an official Olympic discipline.

The 2022 edition saw the triumph of the Italian team for the men’s title, while Japan took the women’s crown, with the finals played in front of the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt. The 2023 edition features stages in every corner of the globe, with national qualifiers that recently kicked off in Melbourne and Kuwait City and that in the coming months will touch 25 other countries including Belgium, Japan, Kenya, Turkey, the Philippines, the United States, and Italy, whose team will try to repeat the success of 2022. Luca Bertolino, Head of Global Strategic Marketing FILA: “Red Bull Half Court is a global event that is open to anyone and encourages participants to be authentic and true to themselves. This is the aspect of the project that we like the most. It’s an event with a global scope that reaches every continent and will help us strengthen our presence in street culture, which has been a focus for FILA since the 1990s. The multi-year partnership with Red Bull is also strategic from a communication point of view. Strengthened by their expertise, we will be able to communicate our brand with increasingly original and engaging content, reaching a truly global audience. It will be a very dynamic partnership, and over the next few months we’ll unveil more news on Red Bull Half Court. We look forward to starting this journey together.”

Michaël Brun releases clueless single via 360 MAGAZINE.

Michaël Brun – Clueless

Kicking off a new era of music, Haiti-born and New York-based Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and artist Michaël Brun unveils his energetic new single entitled “Clueless” featuring Nigerian powerhouse Oxlade released today via Astralwerks. Listen to “Clueless” HERE and watch the vibrant and fun visualizer, directed by Nicholas Buckwalter and shot the morning after the GRAMMY’s in DTLA, HERE.

The dynamic track showcases his genre-bending and culture-fusing production with its distinct Haitian bounce and universal appeal. Meanwhile, Oxlade turns up with a catchy melody and instantly chantable chorus. Together, they deliver a Caribbean-Afro-fusion anthem primed for global impact.

“Working with Oxlade was such an honor,” Michaël Brun shares. “I knew from the first song of his I heard–that he was a true genius. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that his session with me in the States was his first outside of his home country, Nigeria. The operatic elements of his voice and the ways in which he uses harmonies and layers are what make Oxlade who he is, a true legend. It was a really, really incredible experience, so I’m excited to finally release the song. I’m extremely proud of it. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever done, and I hope that people like it as well.”

With its fusion of Haitian and West African stylings, “Clueless” continues a tradition of ushering Brun’s native culture into the spotlight via his music. He has consistently brought audiences together with his famous annual Bayo Block Party Tour, taking over renowned venues worldwide with classic elements such as “rara” and the spontaneous spirit of a Port-au-Prince street party.

Hailing from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Brun has quietly emerged as an influential, impactful, and inimitable phenomenon. In addition to massive collaborations with Ed Sheeran, and MR EAZI, he notably picked up a Latin GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Urban Music Album” for his production on J Balvin’s blockbuster Colores. On his solo music, he has reeled in over 100 million streams and counting in addition to earning praise from Variety, Billboard, The FADER, Rolling Stone, and TIME, which dubbed his music “a loving homage to [Haiti’s] rich styles.” He also serves as the face of the EMMY® Award-winning PBS series Beat Making Lab. Knocking on the door of superstardom, he’ll be unveiling more music throughout 2023.

Richie Rich: Richerette

Renowned fashion designer Richie Rich made a triumphant return to New York Fashion Week with new label RICHERETTE, debuting at BKLYN Studios at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn. The Fall Winter 2023 collection entitled “FUN” took the audience on a stroll down memory lane with an event reminiscent of the former Heatherette runway shows – that were a constant highlight of the 2000’s NYFW schedule. The RICHERETTE runway show, comprising three acts, opened with an homage to Stevie Nicks and her groovy bohemian rock n roll style from the 70s and 80s. The collection also referenced Richie Rich’s Club Kid days of the 90s, and later closed the show with a modern take on Disco.

Each look from the RICHERETTE collection paired perfectly with Skechers footwear on the runway. The iconic footwear brand supplied stylish pairs for men and women. Models effortlessly stepped into style with Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®, turned heads with an assortment of bright and colorful statement sneaker styles from the beloved Skechers Street™ Uno, and completed their look in sporty flair with Skechers Street™ Tres-Air Uno.

“RICHERETTE is all about pop culture. FUN. The sidewalk culture of New York City like Skechers. Cool factor. Walk the runway. Get it. Feel the BOOM!”
