You can purchase the book now at the MoMA Design Store.

The Collina Strada x BAGGU Collab Adds a Little Whimsy to Your Everyday Bag

New York-based fashion label Collina Strada is beloved by many for their watercolor-like designs that favor sustainability, thanks to their use of deadstock fabrics and recycled materials. Now, the hip fashion brand has collaborated with another popular label, the eco-conscious BAGGU, for a new line of bags that transform everyday accessories into something a little more whimsical (and still friendly to the environment).

The collection, which launched on June 25, features an eclectic mix of bags—from crescent shoulder bags to crossbody bags in the shape of a horse (plus a few other items for good measure, including a pop-up tent, picnic blanket, and bath towel).

All of the pieces feature BAGGU’s functionality, while being decorated with the psychedelic prints and plaids that are signature to Collina Strada. You can shop the full collection here.

Big Apple Art, Fashion, and Whiskey Come Together in New Basquiat-Inspired Capsule

In 2023, Great Jones Distilling Co.—aka Manhattan’s only whiskey distillery—dropped a trio of bottles that were decorated with the work of the one of the city’s most-celebrated artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Now, a new limited-edition release, called the “Empire Edition,” has gone on sale at Great Jones, and the custom bottle features Basquiat’s iconic Mecca (1982) artwork, which depicts the New York City skyline in only the way Basquiat could.

To coincide with the release, fashion and lifestyle brand Rome Pays Off also crafted a capsule of limited-edition apparel that incorporates the Mecca artwork and Basquiat’s trademark crown onto a hoodie, bucket hat, and T-shirt. Talk about a fusion of some of New York’s best.
