GUCCI ANCORA WOMEN’S SS24

It’s a story of joy of life, of passion, of humanity, of people, of real life, of irreverent glamour, of provocation, of confidence, of simplicity, of immediate feelings and emotions, of a specific type of art, of words – words in artworks, words in pictures, words in spaces, just words. A story of richness and lust/desire, of red but also blue and green, of flash, of spontaneity, of light, of a party at the first light of day, it’s an unhidden story, one that’s proud, it is manifest and not taboo although it might look like it should be, it is completely free and filled with euphoria. It is a story of fabulous, diverse people; it’s Getty images of cool people of all ages, and it’s inclusive as in everyone is welcomed. It’s a story of movies, of my beloved Italy, of intellectuals and travels around the world but still feeling at home wherever you are. A story of objects – shiny, tactile, and cold to the touch but warm to the heart and soul, these are desirable to collect, not for a museum but to enrich everyday life. It’s a story of music and nights out of sweat, dancing, and singing. It’s a story of family, of kissing, lots and lots of kisses. It’s a story of everything, again, but this time expressed through joy. – Sabato

Model Nichole Nikki Coats for AOHSOA and 360 MAGAZINE.

MODELS MYSTERIOUSLY MURDERED



Call Los Angeles Police Department


“Haven’t been able to get any rest since this all happened.” —Sharon Maria Coats (mother)

* Check back for hourly updates.


First Nichole Coats, Then Maleesa Mooney. Will there be a third? According to various media sources, this is eerily coming across as a serial killer.

Both victims possess similar complexions, facial features, and occupations. To add to the speculation, they both lived within a mile of each other in the DTLA area.

A close colleague informed 360® creative, Armon Hayes, of Nichole’s passing, which alerted him to this heinous crime.

In disbelief, “OMG! OMG. It’s hard to believe what I just read. The person I worked with and modeled for a campaign was found dead in her apartment. Mangled, bruised, and unrecognizable!?… I was wondering why she was so heavy on my mind. It’s been years since we worked together. Actually, last I heard, she relocated to LA to be close to family after the pandemic.”

Coincedentally, these two models were consecutively discovered dead in their flats. Nichole Coats (32) on Sept 10 and shortly Maleesa Mooney (31) Sept 12. Days apart, both women’s deaths occur within miles of each other.

Witnesses reported that she had gone on a date two days before her discovery. Due to lack of communication, her family made the decision to conduct a wellness check.

The LAPD Detectives have already determined that Mooney’s case is a homicide.

Authorities are convinced that the two deaths could be linked because the two young ladies lived in close proximity and were of the same age.

Still in disbelief, “I touched her arm, and she was like stone,” states her father, Guy Edward Coats Jr.

Nichole’s untimely death has caused fear among close friends and family.

Our representative recalls photographing her for the AOHOSA Bespoke Beret campaign at The Bronx Bodega.

“At the time, I worked at the True Religion flagship across from Barclays as a GM, and Nikki and I worked in tandem. She had just moved to Manhattan and was spreading her wings. A large city full of life! Shining her light wherever she landed,” he stated.

A brief silence. He continues, “I am deeply affected by the news of Nichole [Nikki] Coats and send my condolences to her loved ones. I will never forget her smile.”

David Brown Automotive trends via 360 MAGAZINE.

DAVID BROWN MINI eMastered

David Brown Automotive, the name synonymous with British craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design, has today revealed the arrival of Mini eMastered.

The all-electric creation marks a new era for David Brown Automotive, and will set new standards for zero-emissions, urban driving elegance. Mini eMastered combines the marque’s world-leading expertise in bespoke luxury with iconic, classic car style. 

At the forefront of automotive excellence, David Brown Automotive is known for remastering the iconic shape and look of the classic Mini as a bold, clean, electric product for the roads of today. The all-electric Mini eMastered showcases the perfect fusion of timeless aesthetics and electric propulsion, redefining the art of driving for the modern age.

Performance

Owners will experience an effortless, whisper-quiet ride thanks to a powerful all-electric drivetrain. The feather-light 640kg Mini eMastered – the same weight as an original ICE car – harnesses the latest in electric technology, delivering sprightly acceleration thanks to a compact, power dense Zonic 70 motor emitting 72kW (97hp) and 175Nm of instantly accessible torque. Mini eMastered dispatches the 0-62mph dash in just 8.5 seconds and runs on to an (electronically limited) top speed of 92mph when in sports mode.

Thanks to its light weight and excellent powertrain efficiency, Mini eMastered delivers a WLTP certified range of 110 miles from its ‘right sized’ 18.8kWh battery, allowing for effortless city travel with total peace of mind. Capable of up to 6.6kW AC charging via a charging port housed in the same location as the original fuel filler outlet, the battery can be replenished in just 3 hours* using a typical home wall box charging point or a dedicated electric charging point (*charge point dependent). 

Classic Design, Remastered


The timeless charm of the classic Mini is revived and taken to new heights. Meticulously handcrafted by David Brown Automotive’s skilled British artisans, the all-electric Mini eMastered retains its iconic silhouette whilst enhancing a smooth driving experience through enhancements to the interior and its electrified powertrain, making it a masterpiece of contemporary elegance. This is truly a classic car integrated with all the electric technology required for modern city life.  

Sustainable Luxury

Mini eMastered is a commitment to sustainability that is possible in every aspect of this remarkable model, each owner has the option to specify the materials used throughout to their exacting needs. By embracing zero emissions power, David Brown Automotive’s models old and new will contribute to a cleaner future, minimising environmental impact without compromising on performance or luxury, offering each owner and driver peace of mind.

Personalisation at its Finest

As with every David Brown Automotive creation, owners can indulge in an extensive array of bespoke options. Each Mini eMastered can be tailored to the unique preferences of its discerning owner, ensuring a truly personalised and exclusive driving experience.

Mini eMastered takes its cues from a donor body, which is hand crafted to exacting standards by David Brown Automotive’s expert team of artisan coachbuilders based in Silverstone, England. 

Technological Innovation

The all-electric Mini eMastered is a usable classic city car. It embraces new technologies for a user-friendly driving experience. From the seamless integration of a technological EV platform, through to a modern integrated infotainment system, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Mini eMastered raises the bar for owners seeking a modern classic that offers a clean, quiet, and convenient driving experience.

Michelle Gay, Sales & Marketing Director at David Brown Automotive, said: “The launch of the all-electric Mini eMastered reaffirms David Brown Automotive’s distinguished position as a driving force of the luxury automotive industry.

“There is an inherent challenge in electrifying such an iconic model, to retain the high levels of reliability, performance, and quality that our customers expect. Mini eMastered is a shape that captures hearts and minds, and it is the embodiment of our passion, vision, and commitment to sustainable luxury today and into the future.

“With an unwavering dedication to British craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability, we have earned global recognition for our renowned handcrafted automotive masterpieces and today we are proud to showcase our electric future.”

This entry into electric mobility allows enthusiasts, collectors, and current David Brown Automotive owners to commission their own electrified model. The very first example of this will be revealed later this autumn.

Maserati MCXtrema unveiled at Monterey Car Week via 360 MAGAZINE.

Maserati MCXtrema Unveil

On the unique and exclusive stage of The Quail – where every summer, connoisseurs and enthusiasts from all over the world gather on the Monterey Peninsula to celebrate outstanding automotive design and engineering – hosted the world première of Maserati’s new creation: MCXtrema, a veritable “beast” designed for the track – with no type approval to be driven on the road – is ready to unleash 730 hp of power, enclosed in a design as refined in the harmony of its lines as it is disruptive, in terms of the audacity of its forms.

The Trident’s new creature has been conceived as being out of the box: only 62 units of this limited-edition super sports car have been produced, dedicated to a selected, highly discerning clientèle in terms of performance, sophistication of design, luxury – all the hallmarks of a Made in Italy product – and extreme driving experience.

Presented as the Modena-based brand’s most powerful track car, the Maserati MCXtrema is a courageous and exceptional car from all points of view, designed for purist collectors and for the loyal customers of the brand, who wish to add a new “toy” to their garage that can swallow up the kerbs of the most exciting tracks during private tests.

This latest creation from the Italian luxury brand stems from the creative and engineering partnership between the Centro Stile and the Maserati engineering team; it reflects the desire to create a racing car capable of passing on the legacy of the glorious Maserati MC12 in the world of competition, to inspire the Trident’s future racing production.

In the words of Davide Grasso, Maserati CEO: “Maserati MCXtrema was created with the aim of offering an incredibly exclusive product that can set a new paradigm for our track cars. The project is dedicated to a selected clientèle who are particularly attentive to distinctive details, ranging from the most refined and innovative design to exceptional performance. MCXtrema embodies the sporting spirit typical of Maserati‘s DNA, a declaration of a new pathway for our brand, devoted to superlative manufacturing and able to stand out in the world of luxury engine production with uncompromising performance.”

STARTER + MLB

On Tuesday, July 25th, Starter × Major League Baseball brought back an icon, and it felt like the entire city was celebrating. The Return of the Bronx Bubble Jacket, a literal 90’s street style icon, is back with a limited edition drop – just in time for the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and the Subway Series.

The MLB Flagship Store was transformed into the Starter Pop Up for #TheReturnOfTheBronxBubble, with a special performance by Jadakiss and Funk Flex. The stars we’re in the building! The who’s who of hip hop, fashion, culture, music, sports and the NYC “it” crowd packed the house to catch the unveiling, score the presale, check out the nostalgic installations and of course- watch Jada perform!

The Limited Edition Bronx Bubble Jacket is available now at MLB Flagship Store at Rockefeller Center for just one week ONLY. Available in three teams (Yankees, Mets, Brooklyn) and three colors (Gold, Silver, Blue) for each and retailing for $300. This November the jacket will officially drop at the MLB Flagship, Starter.com and specialty retail stores across the country.

A Yankee hat. Timberlands. And the Starter Bronx Bubble jacket. It doesn’t get more New York than that. Steeped in nostalgia, these iconic pieces are the epitome of 90’s and 2000’s fashion. Starter, one of most recognizable and authentic sports apparel companies in the world, is tapping into that nostalgia– the energy was palpable!

Starter and Major League Baseball Join Forces Again to Re-Release Iconic Bronx Bubble Jacket 

Celebrating Famed Limited Edition Drop with Star-Studded Bash Featuring Jadakiss and DJ Funk Flex at the MLB NYC Flagship Store 

Starter, one the most iconic, innovative, and authentic sports apparel companies in the world, is collaborating with Major League Baseball to re-release a limited edition drop of the legendary Bronx Bubble jacket. Launched in 1971, Starter changed the face of the sports apparel industry forever and is intrinsically linked to MLB through countless licensing deals. 

“The Bronx Bubble is widely recognized as an iconic and timeless piece of cultural legacy,” said Carl Banks, President of G-III sports apparel group. “Collaborating with MLB for this limited edition drop is a full circle moment. We are simultaneously bringing back this style staple while paying homage to the culture.” 

Fans will have the chance to own the famed jacket, which is re-releasing just in time for the Subway Series, Fall 2023 season and the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop. 

Steeped in nostalgia, the beloved Bronx Bubble Jacket quickly transcended the sports world to become the epitome of 90’s streetwear and an iconic touchstone, perfectly capturing the intersection of sports, music and culture. The original old jackets are difficult to find and brand recognition still runs strong. With the resurgence of the 90’s influencing current fashion, style seekers constantly scour resale sites and vintage stores not only for original Starter, but for other heritage and vintage brands as well. 

To celebrate this iconic release, Starter and the MLB NYC Flagship Store are throwing an epic bash on Tuesday, July 25th from 2-6 p.m. featuring a performance by Jadakiss at 5 p.m., DJ Funk Flex spinning nostalgic hits throughout, an exclusive preview of the Bronx Bubble, first access to the presale and nostalgic installations. Following the event, Starter will execute a full takeover of the MLB NYC Flagship Store at Rockefeller Center running through July 30th. 

Throughout the ’90s and early 2000s, the Bronx Bubble Jacket soared to cultural icon status, embraced by hip-hop artists and trendsetters across the nation. Fans such as Justin Bieber, LL Cool J, Eddie Murphy in Coming to America, Brooke Shields, Puffy, Will Smith, Run DMC, Jay-Z, Eminem, Missy Elliott, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Pink, Spike Lee, Cal Ripken Jr., Darryl Strawberry, Don Mattingly and countless others

elevated the jacket’s cultural significance. Its triumphant return means anyone can now own a piece of history. 

The Bronx Bubble Jacket makes its presale debut timed to the Subway Series with featured classic NYC teams Yankees, Mets and Brooklyn Dodgers each offered in Gold, Silver and Blue. Retailing for $300 and available for purchase at Starter.com, MLB NYC Flagship Store, and specialty retailers across the country in November with limited numbers available via presale at the launch event and Starter MLB Flagship Store takeover from July 25-30.

ATOM BOMB SCIENTIST WARNS AMERICA

Clip from Oct. 26, 1945; 50 seconds: ATOM BOMB SCIENTIST WARNS AMERICA OF DANGERS AHEAD! Research chief of atomic project, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, in-camera interview, tells the nation that 40,000,000 in U.S. cities could be killed overnight and emphasizes that there is no counter-weapon to stop atom bomb.

Clip context: In October 1945, two months after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that led to the end of World War II, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer resigned as director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, where he oversaw the design of the bomb. Soon after, he met with President Truman to discuss the future of atomic energy and how to achieve international control of the weapon. “Mr. President, I feel I have blood on my hands,” he said (Truman later described Oppenheimer as a “cry-baby scientist”). **

In this newsreel interview, recorded after that White House visit, Oppenheimer tells the nation that 40,000,000 people in U.S. cities could be killed overnight by atomic bombs, emphasizing that there would be no counter-measures to stop such destruction.

“The only hope for our future safety must lie in a collaboration, based on confidence and good faith, with the other peoples of the world.” – J. Robert Oppenheimer
