This unwavering support extends to the weakest layer of Cambodian society as we believe all Cambodians are born to be great. With such a belief, and carrying sustainability at heart, we have decided to hold no efforts and support Tiny Toones in their important mission, sustaining the school’s activities, and allowing it to serve its communities for generations to come.

Tiny Toones impact on its community is undeniable, a fact that is strengthened by 19 years of hard work and dedication, providing four generations of at-risk children with a positive environment and free schooling. Over 80% of Tiny Toones’ students successfully re-enter the public school system and grow to lead stable and productive lives. Tiny Toones’ programs address not only immediate needs but also long-term development by cultivating resilience, ambition, and a sense of community. Their efforts serve as a ray of hope for underprivileged children and are a testament to the power of creative education in breaking cycles of poverty and neglect.

ROLLS-ROYCE ANNOUNCES BLACK BADGE SPECTRE

THE ALTER EGO, AMPLIFIED

Watch

TikTok

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveils Black Badge Spectre — the marque’s alter ego, amplified. In addition to debuting bold exterior finishes, vivid interior details, and innovative opportunities for Bespoke, Black Badge Spectre can summon 792 lb-ft of torque, with a record 659 hp of power. This makes Black Badge Spectre the most powerful Rolls-Royce in history.

In every way, Black Badge Spectre is Rolls-Royce at its most potent — which perfectly captures the spirit of the bold individuals it has been created for. Black Badge clients are unique within Rolls-Royce. These rule-breakers built success by fearlessly rejecting conventions and committing to a vision that is entirely their own.

The decision to craft such a powerful motor car was driven by the expectations of the marque’s Black Badge clients. Their rigorous demands required a formidable engineering response, built on Rolls-Royce’s profound understanding of what a Black Badge should be: effortlessly intense, immediate, and precise.

HARNESSING FORMIDABLE POWER

To ensure this philosophy accurately reflected how clients use their motor cars in the field, a group of Rolls-Royce owners granted engineers access to their anonymized driving data, allowing drivetrain specialists to quantitatively analyze their driving behavior across hundreds of thousands of collective miles. This revealed that clients exploited maximum power in short pulses more than over extended periods. This insight provided powerful validation of the marque’s approach, perfectly matching the dramatic, intense character of the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever created—meticulously developed in the image of this bold client group.

For Black Badge Spectre, the concept of formidable bursts of power is taken to an extreme with two powertrain innovations.

The first innovation is a unique Infinity Mode, a tribute to the infinity symbol used to signify a Black Badge Rolls-Royce. Unlocked by pressing the Infinity ∞ button on the steering wheel, the full 659 hp of power is made available, providing a more direct throttle response to the driver. Once this mode is activated, the dials become more vibrant to match the change in the motor car’s character.

The second innovation is the Spirited Mode. This allows the driver to experience a burst of intense, instantaneous acceleration. The driver engages this function by fully depressing the brake and throttle at the same time, waiting for a haptic and visual response signaling the car is ready, before fully releasing the brake. This temporarily amplifies the torque output to 792 lb-ft, unleashing a surge of force and propelling the motor car from 0-60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.

These new power features have historical precedent. In aircraft powered by the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, including the Supermarine Spitfire, pilots could obtain a burst of power by pushing a switch on the throttle quadrant. Pilots were required to report the use of this function on landing as a precaution to flight engineers — this requirement does not apply to Black Badge Spectre drivers today.

CHASSIS ENGINEERING

Rolls-Royce chassis specialists have introduced changes to inspire clients to wield the unprecedented power of Black Badge Spectre with confidence.

The steering weight is increased.
The roll stabilization is adjusted to create more feedback from steering inputs and reduce body-roll during cornering.
Enhanced dampers also increase body control, reducing ‘squatting’ in acceleration or deceleration.

These revisions perfectly balance an enhanced sense of engagement with the effortless operation and famed Magic Carpet Ride associated with Rolls-Royce motor cars.

DRAMATIC BY DESIGN

Black Badge Spectre is a motor car born of fearless expression and focus, meticulously crafted in the image of the daring individuals it was made to serve. Its landmark power output, chassis technologies, and expansive potential for Bespoke open a vivid new chapter in the highly successful stories of Black Badge – the formidable alter ego of Rolls-Royce.

VIVID ILLUMINATIONS -LIGHT AND COLOR

Furthering its commitment to advanced, contemporary craftsmanship, Rolls-Royce developed a unique feature that enhances and intensifies Black Badge Spectre’s Illuminated Grille.

A new Illuminated Grille backplate has been introduced for the motor car, which is offered in Tailored Purple, Charles Blue, Chartreuse, Forge Yellow, and Turchese. This allows clients to extend their exterior color onto this new canvas or create a unique accent to complement a coachline or the interior. This vibrantly colored illumination can extend into the interior with newly developed Illuminated Tre

JAYLEN BROWN + OAKLEY

NBA STAR JAYLEN BROWN JOINS TEAM OAKLEY TO REWRITE THE RULES OF SPORT STYLE & EYEWEAR

Oakley’s basketball DNA traces back to the ’90s, when legends walked the bunker halls and trained in secret spots across the brand’s Global Headquarters in Foothill Ranch, California. Now, nearly 50 years in, that same DNA today marks a major return with the entrance of Jaylen Brown.

Marking a progression to the past, and writing a new chapter towards the future, Brown’s unique vision merges with Oakley’s mad science of wrapping innovation in art—for a partnership rooted in culture, community, and redefining what’s possible.

This multi-year partnership brings one of the most exciting athletes of our time into the Oakley-verse to shape a new design philosophy. Brown will collaborate with world-class teams in research and development, creative design, and production to reimagine sport style apparel and eyewear, including special edition product collaborations with his recently launched performance brand, 741. Oakley will also serve as Brown’s apparel and exclusive eyewear sponsor.

The partnership extends to Brown’s efforts in cultural advocacy and to empowering the youth, with Oakley supporting The XChange and 7uice Foundation. In addition, Brown will be supporting the EssilorLuxottica OneSight Foundation that works to eliminate uncorrected poor vision to underserved communities worldwide.

“This is my first ever brand partnership in my career, and that’s because I had a mission to only align with brands that mirrored my vision and values in every aspect—self-expression, style, and unity. Oakley’s innovation and dedication to advancing sports and culture, while inspiring today’s youth, makes this partnership a powerful and meaningful move,” says Jaylen Brown, Team Oakley Athlete.

Known for his leadership and cultural impact, Jaylen Brown is a standout, pushing the limits both on and off the court. His distinct style mirrors Oakley’s bold, innovative approach, fusing culture and sport to inspire a generation to be who they are. This current NBA season Brown has been spotted sporting some of the most iconic styles from Oakley history. He has worn designs from the early 2000’s Over-The-Top to the Oakley Plantaris, all the way to the Oakley Prescription eyewear.

“Basketball has always been part of our heritage—a spark for something bigger in culture and community,” says Caio Amato, Chief Marketing Officer at Oakley. “Jaylen is truly a one of a kind—an athlete who shares our commitment to innovation and purpose that drove this partnership. Together, we’ll push boundaries and create projects that inspire the next generation in sports. Welcome to the family, Jaylen.”

The Global Gaming League

*(Pictured, founder Clinton Sparks)

Sets To Innovate the Gaming Industry, Creating the First High-Profile Gaming Entertainment League of Its Kind With Names Like Bryce Hall and T-Pain Announced as Team Captains

Global Gaming League (GGL) is the world’s first of its kind multi-title gaming entertainment league set to revolutionize the industry, composed of high profile celebrity team owners whose four player teams of skilled and casual gamers, popular personalities, and influencers compete in live, in-person gaming tournaments in Las Vegas. Teams play both new video games such as Call of Duty and Rocket League and retro video games such as Pac-man, Donkey Kong and Tetris, and everything in between, from Street Fighter, to Golden Tee Golf to Mario Kart, and beyond.

Founded by notable gaming disruptor and entertainment mogul, Clinton Sparks, The GGL is a gaming entertainment league where gaming, fashion, music, sports, celebrity, competition, and culture converge, targeted at bringing the video game lifestyle and culture to the masses, while providing an unparalleled live, in-person and virtual interactive, entertainment experience for all ages. They recently unveiled their GGL headquarters, an impressive, state of the art 43,000 sq ft. Las Vegas gaming campus.

The league is officially launching with a select group of focused teams led by globally recognized celebrity names across different realms of talent during 2025. Artists such as multiple Grammy and BET award winning artists T-Pain, and Jermaine Dupri along with personalities like Bryce Hall and Flavor Flav have already signed on as team owners, with notable actors, global music artists and DJs, sports figures and internationally renowned personalities representing a vast array of industries set to be announced.

“The GGL will make gaming a household name like the WWE did for wrestling, and UFC did for mixed martial arts. It’s the fastest growing form of entertainment in the world, and we all game, yet, it’s completely disconnected from mainstream, pop-culture, and the streets. This is what The Global Gaming League is going to change.” adds T-Pain.

“The GGL is here to disrupt the over $200 billion dollar gaming industry by converging gaming, music, fashion, sports, celebrity, and culture while authentically integrating and elevating gaming into mainstream and pop-culture,” adds CEO, Grammy nominated producer and League Founder, Clinton Sparks. “Gaming is the fastest growing form of entertainment in the world and generates more revenue than the movie and music industries combined with almost 500 billion projected revenue by 2028, and has true global appeal. We created a model that will connect cultures, build international bridges, uplift underserved communities, and close age gaps.”

Further adds Sparks, “We’re all familiar with massive established leagues like the NBA and MLS to even newly formed leagues like LIV Golf League and Major League PickleBall. These leagues allow aspiring athletes and professional hopefuls an opportunity, something for fans to watch, as well as products to be sold. However, none of these produce the revenue that the gaming industry generates, yet, there is no league for the billions of casual gamers around the world to aspire to become a part of, build a career in, make money, elevate their notoriety, or compete in. And, there certainly isn’t anything in this massive industry that connects to culture, has mainstream relevancy, or provides entertainment to the non-endemic gaming community. That is where GGL comes in.”

cross-platform marketing. He has an outstanding track record of success and a background in managing multiple products from ideation to market launch. Clinton is also a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum music producer, songwriter, and DJ responsible for over 80 million records sold to date.

Clinton continued pushing gaming into the mainstream and advocating it as a career path for underserved communities by co-founding XSET, where he raised millions of dollars and created groundbreaking initiatives. These included building the first-ever gaming lounge in a Las Vegas nightclub, partnering with The Boston Red Sox, and signing hip-hop artist Tee Grizzley to the company as a character inside GTA and NFL star Ezekiel Elliott.

T-Pain, GGL Board Member and Executive Director of Strategy, has not only changed the course of pop, hip-hop and R&B, but has reshaped the fabric of culture itself. He’s sold over 50 million singles, accumulated billions of streams, racked up 10 iconic #1s on the Billboard Hot 100 and captivated the world with his charismatic live performances, earning a reputation as a global phenomenon. Since emerging in 2004, T-Pain’s influence has transcended generations in music and more. He shines as a Twitch phenomenon and uber popular streamer, head of his own Nappy Boy Entertainment, Nappy Boy Automotive, Nappy Boy Gaming & Nappy Boy Dranks, podcast host, director and editor, expert drift driver, actor, author and spokesperson.

Maserati S.p.A.

Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars, immediately recognizable for their extraordinary personality. Thanks to their style, technology, and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a benchmark for the global automotive industry. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance, and safety, currently available in more than 70 markets internationally.

Maserati line-up includes the Grecale, the “everyday exceptional” SUV, the GranTurismo, the iconic Italian grand tourer, and the GranCabrio, the new convertible of the Trident; all models characterized by the use of the highest quality materials and excellent technical solutions. A range equipped with 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains – available for Grecale – and V6 petrol, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, embodying the performance DNA of the Trident brand. The top of the range is made up of the MC20 super sports car and the MC20 Cielo spyder, powered by the ground-breaking 100% Maserati Nettuno V6 engine, which incorporates F1-derived technologies into the power unit of a standard production car for the first time. The GranTurismo is available with both the high-performance V6 petrol engine, derived from the Nettuno, and a 100% electric version: the GranTurismo Folgore, the first car in the Modena-based brand’s history to adopt this solution. The full-electric range also currently includes the Grecale Folgore, Maserati’s first 100% electric SUV, and the GranCabrio Folgore. Finally, the House of the Trident’s latest addition is the Maserati GT2 Stradale, the road-legal version of the GT2 that took Maserati back to the track in closed-wheel championships. The heart of the new super sports car is the V6 Nettuno engine, reaching 640 hp (471 kW) in the latter configuration. The GT2 Stradale is therefore the most powerful road-going Maserati with an internal combustion engine.

The mission at Maserati is to write the future of mobility in the luxury segment, focusing on its customers’ requests. The brand, in line with the Stellantis “Dare Forward 2030” strategic plan, is now taking Italian luxury all over the world.

The Travel Agency + Christian Cowan – NYFW

The Travel Agency Partners with Christian Cowan For NYFW FW25, Bringing Cannabis Culture To High Fashion

T he Travel Agency, New York’s leading cannabis destination, partnered with Christian Cowan for his Fall/Winter 2025 show at New York Fashion Week, bringing cannabis and couture together in a bold, full-circle moment. Held on Friday, February 7th at The Glasshouse, the buzzworthy event highlighted individuality, playfulness, and breaking stigma—all values deeply embedded in both Cowan’s designs and The Travel Agency’s mission.

“Fashion is progressive by nature and has long been a medium for change. As someone who’s spent the better part of their career in the fashion industry, I see The Travel Agency’s collaboration with a trailblazing designer like Christian Cowan as a pivotal moment—showing that cannabis is a part of everyday life for many and also sits in the realm of luxury, creativity, and self-expression. Our partnership beautifully displays the convergence of the cannabis and fashion industries as catalysts for progress and acceptance.” – Penelope Nam-Stephen, CEO, The Travel Agency Fifth Avenue & SoHo

Christian Cowan has long embraced cannabis as a symbol of creative freedom. Nearly a decade ago, he sent a sequined cannabis-leaf top down the runway in his debut NYFW collection, sparking conversations about cannabis in high fashion. Now, in 2025, The Travel Agency proudly stands as the first cannabis sponsor of a Christian Cowan show—further cementing cannabis’ place in modern culture.

“Weed has been such a huge part and tool of many artists’ experience for thousands of years. It’s beautiful to think of the history between marijuana and creatives through the millennia. The Travel Agency understands and celebrates this deep-rooted connection between cannabis and creativity, offering a thoughtful and elevated experience that aligns perfectly with my vision. When used responsibly it helps so many open up and dare to dream without boundaries. Maybe that’s why we call it high fashion?” – Christian Cowan

This year’s FW25 collection paid tribute to Cowan’s long-time muse, Abbie, with vibrant motifs, bold textures, and avant-garde silhouettes, evoking raw creative expression and the imaginative spirit of childhood dress-up.

“The Travel Agency: A Cannabis Store is ecstatic to support Christian Cowan’s highly anticipated NYFW show and the launch of his new collection. Cannabis has always had a natural synergy with artists and the creative community. The Travel Agency celebrates great designers and artists through our creative spaces and cultural collaborations. Our mission is to elevate cannabis consumption by providing New Yorkers with a visually stimulating and luxurious experience that merges style, creativity, and culture” said Arana Hankin-Biggers, Co-Founder & President of The Travel Agency

The guest list included a mix of A-list talent and cultural icons, such as Sam Smith, Kesha, Anna Delvey, Cole Escola, King Princess, Meredith Marks, Ubah Hassan, Coco Rocha, Ari Lennox, The Travel Agency’s own Lucia Vives Gomez, and more, all gathered to witness Cowan’s visionary designs take center stage. Additionally, as part of the collaboration, The Travel Agency dressed select VIP guests in Christian Cowan pieces, creating a seamless blend between high fashion and cannabis culture. Exclusive NYFW gift boxes curated by The Travel Agency were also presented to key attendees, featuring a selection of premium products built for a busy fashion week schedule including Beboe Downtime Vape, Camino Midnight Blueberry Gummies, Miss Grass Fast Times Pre-Rolls, and The Travel Agency’s cult-favorite Mini Escape Pouchs all packaged in a signature child-proof Sackville Lockbox—offering a cheekyand elevated take on cannabis culture.

More than just a dispensary, The Travel Agency is dedicated to reshaping perceptions of cannabis through luxury experiences, creative partnerships, and social justice initiatives. With flagship dispensaries in Downtown Brooklyn, Fifth Avenue, and Union Square, The Travel Agency is set to open its fourth location in New York’s fashion epicenter, SoHo, this spring. The Travel Agency actively works to support legacy operators, create opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals, and champion BIPOC-, women-, and LGBTQIA-owned brands.

This partnership between Christian Cowan and The Travel Agency reimagines cannabis as an integral part of creative culture, playfully blending high fashion with a modern, stigma-free perspective.
