Drake Is Mobilizing Another 'Views From the 6' Pop-Up Shop, This Time in Miami
Drake Is Mobilizing Another 'Views From the 6' Pop-Up Shop, This Time in Miami
First New York City and now Miami. After descending upon the Big Apple yesterday, Drake’s Views From the 6 pop-up shop is making its way to The Gateway to the Americas’ Wynwood neighborhood. And unlike yesterday’s pop-up in Chinatown, today’s Beats-sponsored establishment will come in mobile form as a specially-decorated moving truck sets up shop at 500 NW 23rd Street.
If you’re in the area, look for free tees to start being handed out later today at 5 p.m. EDT as Drizzy and company whet appetites ahead of Views‘ highly-anticipated April 29 release.

Stussy & Casio Have Another G-SHOCK on the Way
Stussy & Casio Have Another G-SHOCK on the Way
Stussy is no stranger to G-SHOCKs, celebrating its 35th anniversary just last year by dropping a special DW-6900 alongside the Casio imprint. Now the two are back at it, joining forces on yet another DW-5600 following 2014′s “NTRNTNL” drop. This time around the collab celebrates the timepiece’s original fortified resin case from 1997 by adopting monochromatic black and white looks — each of which employ tonal brick patterns along with Stussy’s stock logo treatment on the face and backlight design.
Complete with matching packaging to boot, the two DW-5600s will be available from Stussy chapter stores and the streetwear stalwart’s web shop beginning this Friday, April 22.
Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog" Plate Is the Perfect Birthday Gift for the Art Lover in Your Life
Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog" Plate Is the Perfect Birthday Gift for the Art Lover in Your Life
Jeff Koons has attached a shrunken version of his iconic “Balloon Dog (Yellow)” statue to a reflective porcelain plate. The controversial American artist is best-known for recreating, re-contextualizing and elevating banal, quotidian objects like vacuum cleaners within art galleries the world over and this latest collaboration with the porcelain experts at Bernardaud allows collectors and art fanatics alike the chance to own a piece of Koons’ oeuvre. The French porcelain specialists had to create new technologies and techniques in order to meet the artist’s demands for exactitude and quality.
Speaking on the meaning of the Balloon Dog series, Koons said the following:
It is about celebration and childhood and color and simplicity – but it’s also a Trojan horse. It’s a Trojan horse to the whole body of art work.
A perfect birthday gift for the art lover in your life, the plate is going for $9,000 USD and is available via the Gagosian Gallery’s online store, as well as Bernardaud’s website. Stock is limited to only 2300 units, so act fast.
