FIN: Men's SS17' Market Week

http://blogs.hopkins-interactive.com/wafa/files/Favim.jpeg

.

Our men's buying market for SS17' has finished as of today.

We worked hard to meet great brands and designers to offer to our clients and think everyone were pleased with our offerings this season.

New York City offers so many unique things every moment and it is matter of how much we pay attention to that trend and grab it at the right timing.

We love our work and we will continue offering such great things to our clients and wish many of that brands will have great presence in Japan through the retailers that we represent.

Thank you to our clients and designers for your continuing support and look forward to working with you for next season.

Till then, party hard and work hard!!!

ニューヨークメンズマーケットが、終わりました。

ブランドリサーチに約2ヶ月を費やし、今季も多くのブランド、デザイナーとの出会いがありました。

それにしても、ニューヨークには、多くのものが潜んでいます。我々はその動向にアンテナを立て、最高に”旬”な時に、クライエントに紹介するこの仕事を最高に楽しく思っています。

これ等のブランドが、最高なショップを通じて、日本のマーケットにきちんとした形で紹介される事を願っています。

今季も、クライエントの皆さん、デザイナーの皆さんにお世話になり、有難うございました。

また、来季も宜しくお願い致します。

The True Cost of Running Shoes

Controversy surrounding the costs and processes involved with clothes manufacturing has tarnished certain brands reputations, in 2002 Nike lost a court case regarding sweatshop allegations, and more recently, Ivy Park was faced with similar accusations. Most would assume that because these goods are produced overseas, cost is dramatically lower than the retail price we pay, meaning large profits for sportswear giants such as Nike or adidas. However, according to a recent examination by Solereview, the stats prove to be quite different than what we expected. See the infographics below for a breakdown of the costs and profits of popular footwear models.

I think I am in a wrong biz.

Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective, 1999–2016

April 21–August 14, 2016

Martha A. and Robert S. Rubin Pavilion, 1st Floor

Tom Sachs pays tribute to a defining icon of street culture—the boom box—by transforming our glass entryway, the Rubin Pavilion, into a living sound system that hovers between art and science, the functional and the mythological.

Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective, 1999–2016 features eighteen works that highlight the artist’s ability to inventively transform ordinary, everyday materials into art. With wit and ingenuity, he creates boom box sculptures that play music and activate the space, turning it into an immersive sound environment. The work is programmed with playlists that go on sequentially throughout our public hours.

The installation includes Toyan’s (2002), a group of speakers eight feet tall by twelve feet across inspired by Jamaican sound systems, and Presidential Vampire Booth (2002), complete with a stocked bar and Presidential seal. Sachs’s work is crafted from a wide range of materials such as plywood, foamcore, batteries, duct tape, wires, hot glue, and solder.

Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective, 1999–2016 is organized by Eugenie Tsai, John and Barbara Vogelstein Curator of Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum.
An earlier version of this exhibition, entitled Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective 1999–2015, opened in January 2015 at The Contemporary Austin.
