SHINOLA
Bright, shiny, and made in Detroit There’s a once oft-used World War II era expression about not knowing “sh*t from Shinola,” which referred to a person too clueless to distinguish between excrement and the brownish-black shoe polish manufactured in Rochester, New York from 1907 to 1960. Now, when Shinola comes up in conversation, it’s most […]

Rethink, Reuse, Revamp
The Deconstructed Art of Orly Ruaimi When you look at the work of San Francisco-based artist Orly Ruaimi, you would never guess that the forty-two-year-old started out in finance. That career path didn’t pan out, and it’s easy to see why: Ruaimi’s jewelry and sculptures seem to effortlessly emerge from the ruins of some futuristic […]

Sleeping on a Jetplane
In a country that’s famous for its bizarre experiential hotels—from the IceHotel in Lapland to the floating Utter Inn that features an underwater aquarium for guests to sleep in—comes a new take on the red eye flight. Arlanda’s Jumbo Stay hotel repurposes a retired Boeing 747 and turns it into a travel experience, offering passengers […]
Elohim
Hailing from Los Angeles, Elohim, Hebrew for God, sings with god-like control and confidence.

Divino Man
With advertisements reminiscent of Kenzo and Michael Kors and an eye for vibrant, eye-catching hues, Adam Zaka, the head of Divino Man is starting to make waves in the fashion world. Turning against the current rave over minimalist aesthetic, he has strayed into the unknown territory of bright patterns and colors for menswear. His feminine […]
69
Gender, race, age, and size are insignificant to the creator of 69.
