Vans × Wyland

New Vans x Wyland Limited Edition “Kraken” Sneakers Put Spotlight on a Healthier Ocean.

Vans has joined together with renowned marine life artist Wyland and the Wyland Foundation for their latest classic slip-on sneaker collaboration designed to inspire people everywhere about the beauty of the ocean. The shoes, affectionately nicknamed, “The Kraken,” are inspired by the artist’s stunning depiction of the ocean’s original master of disguise, the octopus.

Building on the artist’s playful aesthetic, the octopus appears to spread its tentacles and travel in silhouette from one shoe to the other. “The octopus is not only one of the most awe-inspiring animals in the ocean, it’s in many ways a designer’s dream with its fluid movements and endless ability to camouflage,” Wyland says. “It’s just one of the reasons why people love the ocean so much.” The new Vans x Wyland “Kraken” classic slip-on sneaker is made with cotton sourced from the Better Cotton Initiative which works to reduce the environmental impact of cotton production and improve livelihoods and economic development in cotton producing areas. Vans has sourced BCI cotton since 2014, with the goal of sourcing 100% sustainable cotton by 2025

All proceeds from the new collaboration directly support Wyland Foundation efforts for clean water and healthier oceans, including mobile science education for underserved students, after school marine art education, and numerous programs designed to reduce upstream pollution before it can impact the ocean. Wyland “Kraken” slip on sneakers retail for $110 each and are available for a limited time online exclusively at the Wyland Foundation store. To order, visit HERE.

COACH FALL 2023

Coach debuted its Fall 2023 collection with a runway show at the Park Avenue Armory. To introduce Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers’ vision for this season, the house held an intimate gathering in the Armory’s historic hall for a presentation where refinement combined with attitude to tell a story about individuality, community and safe spaces where all are free to come as they are—just the way New York City intermingles people from all walks of life.

A celebration of the heritage silhouettes and codes that define Coach’s American fashion language, seen through the eyes of a new generation, Fall introduced shearling, leather, and denim pieces in youthful proportions and colors, and enriched with artisanal treatments. The house brought a modern attitude to classic leather staples like trenches, jackets and skirts, explored in floor-length silhouettes. Shearling, a house code, was introduced in new design concepts that highlighted a youthful approach to the material’s rugged attitude, including colorful metallic shearling, cropped and oversized aviator silhouettes with shearling-wrapped hardware, and lovingly pre-worn shearling treated with a hand-finished technique.

Inspired by Vevers’ vision to redefine Coach craft through the lens of circularity by exploring, designing and learning, the house also introduced new design concepts using sustainable materials. Fall debuted iterations of the season’s leather ready-to-wear crafted of upcycled leather scraps—each one unique. The house also expanded Coach (Re)Loved, its program focused on giving Coach bags a second life, by bringing its “Remade” pillar to footwear. The collection introduced leather sneakers with the upper crafted from repurposed, pre-loved Coach bags, deconstructed and reimagined. The house also crafted a series of colorful, silk chiffon slip dresses, naturally dyed with botanicals like logwood, safflower and marigold, and designed with minimal waste practices—using fabric scraps from pattern-cutting as embellishments. Finally, the collection introduced jewelry reimagined from repurposed vintage pieces.

In leather goods, Vevers introduced bags in Signature and colorful patent leather, including a mini-backpack and Penn, a pouch inspired by the house’s 2000s archives. The collection also included the Coach Shapes, a collection of bags in playful designs like lips, big apples, hearts and stars, and an oversized leather tote crafted in vegetable-tanned leather, a showcase for the house’s legacy of leathercraft.

Additionally, the house continued to celebrate the beauty of love-worn, one-of-a-kind pieces, introducing hand-worked, distressed denim and form-fitting knitwear, mended and repaired by hand with Superman and Mickey Mouse graphics.

“Fall was inspired by our belief that when you show up as you really are, you inspire others to do so, too,” said Vevers. “The collection presents an authentic interpretation of the heritage and house codes that define Coach, redefined through the next generation’s concept of individuality and expression. There’s a straightforwardness that reflects where we’re headed in the future. To bring this to life on the runway, I envisioned an intimate gathering at the Armory that would not only celebrate freedom of self-expression, but the spirit of getting together and having fun that, to me, is the heart of fashion and of New York City.”

Inspired by New York house parties, the intimate presentation gave guests a close-up view of the collection, highlighting texture, spontaneous energy and human connection. The second Coach show held at the Armory following the house’s Spring 2023 presentation last season, the experience blurred the lines between New York’s worlds, juxtaposing the Armory’s ornate, gilded rooms with the youthful attitude of the collection. The casting also introduced new faces to the runway through street casting, chosen to reflect the spirit of a new generation and the individuality that defines the collection.

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.

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.

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!”
