US POLO ASSN

U.S. Polo Assn. once again served as the Official Apparel Partner and Team Sponsor for the 2022 Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup, featuring Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex.

The event took place on Aug. 25 at Aspen Valley Polo Club in Carbondale, Colorado. U.S. Polo Assn. provided custom performance jerseys for all teams and umpires and also distributed co-branded caps for all attendees to take home as a memory from the event. The global lifestyle brand also provided field signage and promoted the event through digital and social media.

“As the Official Apparel Partner and Team Sponsor of the 2022 Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup, U.S. Polo Assn. aims to expand global philanthropic endeavors for our brand and the sport, as well as shine a light on the meaningful efforts behind the Sentebale mission,” said J.

The annual polo event raises vital funds for Sentebale, an organization that was co-founded in 2006 by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, and Prince Seeiso to support Sentebale’s vital work with children and young people in southern Africa whose lives have been affected by extreme poverty, inequality, HIV/AIDS and recently COVID-19. This year’s event included Sentebale’s co-founding patron, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, who showed great athleticism and leadership while playing on the Sentebale team.

“The Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup contributes vital funds every year, helping Sentebale to continue our lifesaving and empowering work in Lesotho and Botswana. We are so grateful to U.S. Polo Assn. and all our sponsors for their unwavering support. The power and excitement of polo is enabling vulnerable children and young people, living with and affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS, to live more healthy and hopeful lives,” said Richard Miller, CEO of Sentebale.

Fans enjoyed the mountainous views and Aspen temperatures watching the thrilling game. In the end, the Cup was won by Team Sentebale, with a score of 3-1.

Prince added, “I would like to thank the beautiful Aspen Valley Polo Club for hosting this year’s event as well as Team U.S. Polo Assn. for representing us on the polo field for such an important cause. We are honored to continue our support of Sentebale again this year in order to positively impact communities around the world through the sport of polo.”

Leica × BAPE

Leica, “A BATHING APE” and Stash have collaborated on a limited-edition camera, merging industry-leading technology with a chic, urban sensibility. The Leica D-Lux 7 “A BATHING APE®︎ X STASH” consists of a black-finish compact camera sold exclusively through Leica, and a silver-finish version available exclusively through pioneering streetwear brand, A BATHING APE®︎. Both special editions feature the signature ABC CAMO look of BAPE® covering the camera body, the brand’s APE HEAD insignia, as well as the distinctive wild style tag of American graffiti artist, STASH. The result is a camera that integrates the power of street photography with icons of streetwear and street art.

The streetwear label BAPE® (A BATHING APE®︎) encapsulates the youthful spirit of an entire generation, bringing Tokyo’s urban street style to the world with its contemporary designs. From the Asian metropolis, we turn our attention to New York, where pioneering street-art legend STASH (aka Josh Franklin) paved the way for a new genre of graffiti by moving his creations from the anonymity of subway tunnels into the public eye. Finally, we turn to Wetzlar: the German city that has become almost synonymous with the art of optical engineering and camera design. This special-edition camera combines the creative energies of Tokyo and New York. Photography has always been used to document both street art and street fashion – now the Leica D-Lux 7 “A BATHING APE®︎ X STASH” is a tangible manifestation of this connective link.

“When I started doing graffiti in the early 1980s, the term ‘street art’ didn’t exist. It was only later, when we emerged from the tunnels and train stations, that we became much more visible. Documenting my art through photography has always been part of my creativity. With the advent of digital cameras, I got my first Leica,” STASH recalls, who recognizes many parallels between the three art forms. “They are visual, based on color, form and expressive freedom. I think they are strongly youth-driven, and there is so much creativity between them that one feeds into the other to help complete the story.”

When designing the limited special edition of the Leica D-Lux 7, the Brooklyn-based artist incorporated both the famously graphic-heavy style of the BAPE® label, and his own distinctive visual approach.

The Leica D-Lux 7 “A BATHING APE®︎ X STASH” offers the same technical specifications as the serial production model, including a Micro Four Thirds sensor, fast 24–75mm (35mm camera equivalent) zoom lens with optical image stabilization, and an aperture range of f/1.7–2.8 to deliver outstanding images, anytime, anyplace. For the effective resolution of 17 megapixels, the lens utilizes a central portion of the sensor (whose total resolution is over 21 million pixels), resulting in an even higher image quality and a sensor that delivers 4K 30fps and full-HD 60fps videos. The black-finish Leica D-Lux 7 “A BATHING APE®︎ X STASH” retails for $1,895, and comes with an additional carrying strap, a specially designed camera pouch, and an auto lens cap that opens and closes as the lens retracts and extends.

To mark the launch of the limited-edition Leica D-Lux 7, a selection of photographs by STASH will be presented in a special exhibition at Leica Store Los Angeles.

A BATHING APE®︎

Situated in the heart of Tokyo, one of the leading fashion hubs of the world, Nowhere Co., Ltd. strives to introduce Japanese fashion culture to the world. Since the brand’s establishment in 1993, it has remained as a symbol of street fashion for more than 28 years. Thus far, it has produced iconic design items, original patterns, and characters such as “APE HEAD”, “BAPE® CAMO”, “BAPE STA™”, “SHARK HOODIE” and “BABY MILO®” etc. It has now expanded into Mens, Ladies and Kids line and is carried throughout stores in Japan, US, UK, France, China and various Asian countries. It has also created successful collaborations with established international brands and reputable artists. These collaborations are recognized as being genreless and flexible, not limited to fashion and apparel categories only.

STASH

One of the pioneers of New York’s graffiti scene, STASH (Josh Franklin) is firmly established as an innovator and influencer in the world of urban design. His vision of integrating graphic graffiti elements and fonts into commercial product designs captured the attention of a broad audience and helped graffiti culture rise from the shadows of subway tunnels into the light of public acceptance. His hidden (‘stashed away’) messages and iconic signature have become a brand in their own right, immortalized in high-profile collaborations with major brands in the streetwear cosmos. In his search for new forms of expression, the photography enthusiast has found a perfect match in Leica: the collaboration is another milestone for the street artist to manifest his concept of capturing the fleeting moment.

ADELE × ELLE

KO Média is excited to unveil the September issue of ELLE Canada, featuring British singer-songwriter Adele. The multi-Grammy-award-winning star finally opens up about the difficult decision to cancel her Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. “The first couple of months were really, really hard,” she says. The star dives into how she went into hiding after the dramatic cancellation announcement on Instagram, her reasons for doing so and how the last-minute decision actually “made [her] confidence in [herself] grow because it was a very brave thing to do.” During the intimate interview at her home in July, only weeks out from her half-decade-long stage break, Adele spoke about the incredible arrangement she and her former partner have when it comes to co-parenting their son and even gushed about being madly in love—and joked about being unmarried (for now)—with her new man, sports agent Rich Paul. But it wasn’t all lighthearted. The singer went into detail about enduring the lowest points of her career, feeling lonely, experiencing anxiety attacks and finding herself again through fitness and kickboxing. Now Adele is on her way back to Las Vegas, and the response has been better than she could have imagined.

With the strongest of the summer season’s rays behind us, it’s time to stock up on hydrating foundations and skin-perfecting serums to help restore our skin after all the sand and sun we indulged in. For readers trying to hold on to the warmth for as long as possible, we take a look at Barcelona’s hottest spots, highlighting where to stay, what to eat and where the best shopping is in the Catalan city. And nothing says endless summer like the fresh, romantic scent of roses, which are the highlight of Lancôme’s French estate and its timeless perfume line.

Looking ahead, our biggest trend reports have the scoop on what you’ll want to wear and how you’ll want to style your hair and do your makeup for the fall season. And with the inevitable return (at least in part) to the office, the baggy, flowy, oversized power suit—inspired by the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Martin Margiela and Yohji Yamamoto—has made its way from the runways into our closets. Work attire has finally shifted from tight and structured-tight to loose and comfortable—think Zendaya in Valentino’s latest ad campaign. Just add this season’s neon liner, bold lips and big accessories, and “What should I wear to work?” will seldom be a question in the morning. However, heading back to the office doesn’t come without a shift in work-life balance. Val Desjardins, our new health and wellness contributor, explains her holistic approach to adopting new habits and pursuing daily pleasure, making the transition to a new normal a breeze.

This issue also focuses on female empowerment. We spoke to multi-Juno-winning R&B artist Savannah Ré about her new album as well as bestselling author Lisa Taddeo about how she helps readers grapple with feelings of loneliness and grief. We also have advice for Canadian women on how to ask for a raise or promotion—and get it too—and we chatted with actor Myha’la Herrold about feeling bold, confident and empowered in her career. But empowerment isn’t only career-focused; non-binary and transgender people are starting to feel more empowered through their hair. New salons are ditching the old-school binary haircuts and opting for more inclusive services, allowing everyone to express themselves through their hair.

On the fashion front, up-and-coming South African designer Lukhanyo Mdingi is creating a legacy through his designs and using the skills of local people to create his brand’s blueprint. And we take a closer, more critical look at the well-intentioned trend of donating clothing. What we discovered is that a large majority of these pieces end up in the oceans, on beaches and in landfills in other countries, like Ghana. This piece makes us rethink the Instagram trend of having a different outfit for every post, the ethics of fast-fashion companies like Shein and how we can reduce our carbon footprint when it comes to our closets.

The Health Benefits of a Satisfying Sex Life

When we think about sex, we’ll usually only think about the pleasure it can bring. However, this is actually only part of the story – a satisfying sex life can promote excellent health benefits as well. It might seem strange to consider this, but the fact is that having regular, enjoyable sex can make you healthier in a variety of different ways. Read on to find out more.

Burns Calories

Everyone knows if you burn more calories than you take in, you’ll lose weight. Yet sometimes, finding the time to get enough exercise is tricky. Even when you have the best intentions, going to the gym or heading out the door for a brisk walk after dinner can fall to the bottom of the to-do list.

Sex, however, is something that is much easier to make time for, and the good news is that it will burn calories too. It won’t burn as many as a good workout at the gym or an exercise class, but something is better than nothing. You can boost the amount of calories you burn in bed if you add something exciting from Wet For Her’s lesbian sex toy range, or you switch positions to something that requires a little more activity, for example.

Boost The Immune System

Having a strong immune system is crucial as it means you are at much less risk of developing various illnesses, and you’ll be less likely to pick up any bugs that might be going around. As well as that, if you do catch something, you’ll be able to shake it more easily with a strong immune system.

Having sex can help give you that strong immune system – studies have shown that people who have sex at least once a week have additional immunoglobulin A in their bodies. This is an antibody that helps protect your body. As well as this, sex releases oxytocin which makes you feel sleepy, and a good night’s sleep is great for boosting your immune system too.

Relieves Stress

Humans have a lot of hormones in their bodies, and they all do different things. When you’re stressed, cortisol is produced. This puts you in the ‘fight or flight’ mode and means you can escape the perceived danger around you. If there is no real danger, it’s a good idea to try to de-stress as much as possible because too much cortisol for too long can cause issues with your heart, blood pressure, and mental health, for example.

Sex is a great way to alleviate stress. Thanks to the hormones the activity produces (we’ve already discussed oxytocin, but endorphins are also released), our stress levels drop significantly, keeping us safe from harm and making us feel great.

Pain Relief

It’s an old joke that having a headache is an excuse not to have sex, but in reality, if you actually do have a headache, sex can help relieve the pain. Again, this is down to endorphins, which are a natural painkiller the body produces when it needs to.

Sex promotes more endorphins to be released, speeding up the pain-relieving properties they have and reducing the pain associated with headaches in particular sooner than almost anything else.

SEVENTEEN – _WORLD

K-pop stage-breakers SEVENTEEN joined forces with the English singer Anne-Marie for a new version of their single “_WORLD (Feat. Anne-Marie),” released at midnight ET.

“_WORLD” is the lead single from SEVENTEEN’s latest album SECTOR 17 released on July 18. Amplified by Anne-Marie’s plain-spoken vocals, the new version of the urban R&B track endearingly delivers the sentiment of hope and excitement in entering a ‘new world’ built for ‘you and me.’ The underbar that prefaces the title asks the listener to also imagine and define their own ideal world.

SECTOR 17 scored SEVENTEEN’s highest charting on the Billboard 200, debuting at No. 4. Like many of their previous hits, the band’s main producer and leader of their vocal unit WOOZI took part in producing the album as well as the lead single “_WORLD,” credited for both its lyrics and composition.

SEVENTEEN are currently touring across North America for their headline tour ‘BE THE SUN.’ After their action-packed shows in Vancouver, Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles, Houston, Fort Worth and Chicago, the K-pop supergroup will bring their must-see show to Washington DC next. Shows in Atlanta, Belmont Park, Toronto and Newark are set to follow.

Madison Beer – Dangerous

MADISON BEER RELEASES NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO “DANGEROUS” AHEAD OF READING AND LEEDS PERFORMANCES

WATCH HERE

Today, Madison Beer releases her new single “Dangerous” with its official music video. The drop comes ahead of her performances in the UK this weekend at the Reading and Leeds festivals, where she’ll perform “Dangerous” live for the first time. You can listen to the track here via EPIC Records.

“Dangerous” is co-produced and co-written by Madison alongside Tobias Jesso Jr and James Francies, as well as longtime collaborators Tim Sommers, Jeremy “Kinetics” Dussolliet, and Leroy Clampitt. The song is a beautiful showcase of Madison’s vocals through lush harmonies and dreamy production, complete with an ethereal string arrangement. The cinematic visual, co-directed by Madison, finds the rising pop star in an emotional performance of the track, centerstage amongst an orchestra ensemble.

“Dangerous is the start of a more honest, vulnerable and mature chapter,” says Madison. “It’s about accepting that some situations didn’t pan out the way you imagined. And it’s about questioning your own responsibility in a relationship. I’m really excited for fans to hear this new side and hope they love it as much as I do!”

Following unprecedented success as an independent artist, rising pop star Madison Beer released her major label album debut Life Support, in early 2021. The album, a strong personal and artistic statement, received acclaim from the likes of V Magazine, Nylon, and NME who called it a “thrilling listen.” Life Support features certified platinum single “Selfish,” and “Boyshit,” which Billboard said “makes a late case for one of the best pop chorus openings of 2020.” The album saw Madison continue to be at the helm of her artistry through writing her own songs, producing, and creating her own visuals. Prior to “Dangerous,” she released “Reckless,” the first track to come from her upcoming project. The song was her personal best streaming week debut on Spotify and currently has over 234 million streams on the platform.

Over the years Madison has proven herself as a powerful brand partner, most recently as an ambassador for Fenty Beauty. Previously she partnered with Morphe Cosmetics to create a signature line, which was showcased in her edition of Vogue’s marquee video series “Beauty Secrets.” Her episode became one of the highest performing installments with over 12 million views on YouTube and went viral on TikTok, selling out the Morphe products featured globally for 6 months. Madison is also the face of Victoria’s Secret’s line of Tease Fragrances, with a campaign shot by legendary photographer Mario Sorrenti. Currently, Madison has over 4.2 billion streams across her catalog globally and commands a highly engaged social following of over 32 million on Instagram, 17 million on TikTok, and 3 million on Twitter.

DANIEL DOVER: BRINGING CHARACTERS TO LIFE

From fine art to animation, and everything that’s in between, Daniel Dover builds upon his vast array of technical skills to manifest his creativity in different and exciting mediums. He has marked his path from Tel Aviv, through Europe, and to his current home in New York, with one prestigious project after another. It’s astounding to see the versatility with which Dover expresses his eclectic styles – and no matter what form his work may take, it’s sure to be an utter game changer.

Dover has never been afraid of charging headfirst into new and challenging mediums in order to produce his wild ideas. When asked about his broad spectrum of artistic forms, Daniel cites necessity as a common motivator. “When I find a good idea or story I want to bring to life, I’ll try my hardest to first find the best medium or format in which to present it most comprehensively.”

During the limbo of the pandemic lockdowns, Dover accomplished yet another impressive feat: creating and producing his own animated cartoon series, titled ‘Bernard & Ralph – and The Beach-House Gang’. The series, which was published under the pen name ‘Ginz-Burg,’ revolves around a group of highly dysfunctional animals, all living together in a communal halfway house in New York City. Each character in the group represents a different mental or social disorder, or at times even a few together. The show explores the ramifications of these animals’ respective mental states, how it affects them both personally and in their interactions with others. Even though the cartoon examines a broad range of sensitive and difficult issues, including social isolation, depression, and anxiety, the personal and humorous qualities of the story allow for a more comfortable space in which to deal with these subjects.

Dover is continuing to produce ‘Bernard & Ralph – and The Beach-House Gang’ as a series of cartoon shorts, as well as actively working towards opportunities to turn it into a longer-form show. Dover is also developing several other cartoon show concepts, while also continuing to communicate with studios, as he’s always itching to bring his innovative arsenal of characters to life on a variety of platforms.

Daniel Dover’s current work in animation is a direct extension of the attitudes he embodied when he started his artistic career. In 2007, his street art series of gas-masked characters began to surface around Tel Aviv. Within the next two years, he became identified with a wide range of urban interventions, and his street art images grew increasingly diverse. One such artistic undertaking was his conception and painting of the animated escalators inside the entrance of Tel Aviv’s City Hall. Dover’s playful piece hit the internet and immediately went viral, and has also remained in commission to this day.

After moving to New York, Dover shifted his focus to animation projects, while still exhibiting his artwork in many various forms, with shows in Tel-Aviv, around Europe, and New York City. No matter the place, format, or subject, everything adds up to one prolific artist, willing to go the distance and do what it takes to bring his artwork to the forefront of his field. Whether it’s using spray paint, ink, ready-made sculpture, or other media, Daniel Dover is a master of creating a visually sharp statement that projects a fragile truth about complex human and social systems. His work has been reviewed in many prestigious publications; Huffington Post, The LA Times, European Pressphoto Agency, The Guardian, and many more.

There is an unmistakable ardor in Dover’s voice when he speaks of his current and upcoming creative ventures, and there’s no telling where this unconventional artist and animator will show up next. Whether in a gallery exhibition, our TV screens or the pavement beneath our feet, Daniel Dover surprises each time with new and innovative ways to present his art. His work has amassed a devout following that’s itching to see more of him, and soon. Regardless of location, medium or narrative, I for one am eager to see what this eccentric artist has in store for us.
