Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin One of the biggest challenges for any purpose-led brand pursuing game-changer status isn’t breeding a fanbase who ‘get it’ but selling a vital new narrative to the hardcore apathetic. For fashion, mired in climate crisis and battling the clock to cultivate a circular economy, retuning fans’ mindsets (America throws away and 2150 pieces of clothing every second and even people with positive eco intentions are loathe to sacrifice what they perceive as an identify-defining hobby ) is now mission imperative. Dutch fashion brand 1/OFF Paris, whose couturiers splice together or respectfully reinterpret iconic vintage garments to create ultra-covetable new pieces (think: a Levi’s denim jacket with Chanel’s quintessential ladies-who-lunch tweed; double layered jeans; or two oversized classic men’s blazers tailored into a freshly feminized silhouette) is doing just that. Selling to an audience including legions of the … [Read more...] about 1/OFF Paris: 400% Growth For The Upcycled Fashion Brand Taking Sustainability To Luxury’s Eco-Apathetic

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At the start of Avenue Montaigne, in the heart of Paris, stands the newly opened Henry Jacques Perfumes boutique. Though the family-owned French perfume house was launched in 1975, this is their first store in their home country. That’s because the location and building itself had to be perfect, with a rich history—no compromises or corner cutting, true to the heritage of Henry Jacques Perfumes . And flawless it is, with its Belle Époque exterior, and a private garden—a true rarity on Avenue Montaigne—with flowers that change with the season. “It was my dream to enter the store through a garden,” says Anne-Lise Cremona, CEO of Henry Jacques Perfumes. “I wanted a house, a place where clients can come and spend time, because luxury is time for yourself—it’s very rare. We started with the idea of having a boutique concept, like a home, to have a bit of mystery to treat the perfume the best we could, with no limits on the … [Read more...] about Henry Jacques Perfumes Carries On Old World French Perfumery With A Luxurious Twist

The Thai Deputy PM and Minister of Public Health, Anutin Charnvirakul, has tested positive for Covid-19 after arriving back from a UNAIDS meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The minister was reported to have only mild symptoms at this time as he had already completed 6 doses of Covid vaccine. Autin and other authorities from the Ministry of Public Health, Foreign Affairs, Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, and Phuket Provincial Governor had joined the BIE 170th General Assembly in Paris between June 19 – 20. Then, the group travelled to Geneva to join the meeting with The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS to discuss the Special Expo 2028, in which Phuket is vying to host between June 21-24 in that year. Anutin arrived in Thailand on June 26 with muscle pain and a sore throat and later found that he was positive for Covid-19 with an ATK test. According to the report, the minister would quarantine for at least a week, or until he was able to produce a negative Covid … [Read more...] about Thai Health Minister Anutin tests positive for Covid-19

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As the terrifying words and shocking photos showing fierce fires destroying thousands of acres of land flooded social media, it was hard to not feel helpless. The over 50 mph winds assisted the fire in covering so much ground in such a short time that people who thought they were out of harm’s way would quickly realize within the same hour that they needed to evacuate as soon as possible. The direction of the wind changed constantly making it impossible for anyone within Napa Valley and Sonoma County to know if they were truly safe, as fleeing one’s home had many downsides since temporarily living in a crowded community center seemed to be a torturous alternative, or much worse, one could accidentally drive into the heart of one of the fast and furious fires, trapped with no way out. Many living outside of northern California stayed glued to the internet to see if friends or colleagues in the wine industry were doing okay. … [Read more...] about Woman From India Leads As Winemaker At Beloved Napa Winery To Build A Better Tomorrow After Tragedy

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If La Liga returned tomorrow, few teams would be nearly ready. It’s the summer transfer window. Players are holidaying, and most teams around Europe are intent on trimming their squads ahead of the preseason, let alone the thinking about the ultimate kick-off in mid-August. Behind the scenes, club departments are scanning the market, liaising with agents and managing outgoings. Some sides have acted quickly, and others still have plenty to do. In Spain, you can see both sides of the spectrum. If top-flight soccer began sooner than expected, national and European champion Real Madrid would be almost raring to go. Asides from the preseason rigors and getting players back up to speed, it has already assembled a squad to hit the ground running. In an alternate reality, financially compromised Barcelona—La Liga runner-up last time around—would be nowhere near prepared if the matches resumed shortly. With negotiations … [Read more...] about As Cash-Hungry Barcelona Attempts To Keep Up, Real Madrid Looks Dominant

When I took an art class on a lark in college, I discovered how much I loved being creative. Bringing my ideas to life didn't feel like work -- far from it. The experience was downright magical. If I could do this for a living, I'd never work a day in my life, I realized. After I left, began selling my own product designs, and spent several highly informative years at the red-hot toy startup Worlds of Wonder , I developed a simple process to help me achieve my goal. I would supply companies with new product ideas. In exchange, they would do all of the heavy lifting of getting them on the shelf and pay me royalties based on units sold. I'm talking, of course, about licensing . You can think of licensing like renting. The companies I would approach already brought products to market. I had the creative ideas they needed. For me, it was the perfect partnership. After I left WOW and did some freelancing work, I began licensing my ideas and didn't stop for decades. How could … [Read more...] about 18 Reasons You Should Consider Licensing Your Product Ideas

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Spending 8 days and 2,000 miles driving non-stop is either your worst nightmare or your personal state of nirvana (we’re talking “release of the soul from karmic bondage” nirvana here). Achieving that state of mind on the open highway may be putting a bit too much pressure on the road trip concept, but that didn’t stop the LongTail Rally organizers from trying. With a route that started in Laguna Beach, ended in Las Vegas, and visited Palm Springs, Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Yosemite and Death Valley in between, I feared a triathlon-like experience after glancing at the LongTail Rally itinerary. But rally organizer Mike Knapp quickly allayed those fears. “We rarely hit the road before 11 am, and we’re always at our next night’s accommodations by 5 pm.” If you’re a car rally noob (like me), you may not know this, but most exotic car rallies are not run this way. Instead of reveling in engaging roads … [Read more...] about LongTail Rally: 30 Supercars, 2,000 Miles, 8 Days Of Thrill, Infinite Chill

There’s no way Milan could have known what was coming, but in the years leading up to the pandemic, the city was preparing as if it had seen the future. advertisement advertisement In 2018, the city started a large-scale reinvention of its public space, focused specifically on land that was dedicated to car parking in neighborhoods that had little green space. Those spaces, with simple interventions, were converted into new public plazas . As the pandemic set in—Milan was one of the first epicenters of the outbreak in Europe—these outdoor spaces became essential lockdown escapes. Launched as part of Mayor Giuseppe Sala’s plan to make a more resilient and livable city by 2030, the piazza creation effort has been spearheaded by Bloomberg Associates , the consulting arm of Bloomberg Philanthropies. The program is being implemented under the guidance of Janette Sadik-Khan, who served as New York City’s transportation commissioner during Michael … [Read more...] about Milan turned 250,000 square feet of parking into public space
