BOMBAY SAPPHIRE X BASQUIAT
2022-11-14The artwork references one of Basquiat’s earliest works, Untitled (L.A Painting), which has never been licensed before and appeared only once in his second ever show. Dominated by the same light blue of the alcohol brand, the composition contains many key visuals emblematic of Basquiat’s career, the crown, the bird, the coin, and the skull, amongst many.
“We are honored to shine a light on Basquiat’s dynamic creativity and offer an entirely new way to experience art” said Jaime Keller, Brand Director of Bombay Sapphire North America, in a statement. “This bottle represents our longstanding history of supporting creative visionaries in our mission to make the art world more accessible. Through the release of our third artist-designed Special Edition bottle, we are allowing people access to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s art to be inspired by his work for generations to come.”

FRAGMENT DESIGN – VANMOOF S3 E-BIKE VERSION
2022-10-24Fujiwara, who’s often cited as the godfather of streetwear, echoes the technological and aesthetic leaps and bounds VanMoof has made in the bicycle department, and now its S3 model e-bike has been given the fragment rework.
Much like Fujiwara, the e-bike has seen a growing cultural footprint, moving into traditional spaces and subsequently bringing them into a new era.
The collaborative e-bike comes packed with all of VanMoof’s latest technology, including Turbo Boost for instant acceleration, automatic electronic four-gear shifting, integrated hydraulic brakes, a keyless Kick Lock, and anti-theft devices.
Fragment design’s VanMoof S3 collaboration is debuting exclusively at Dover Street Market London

WHISTLEPIG – THE BOSS HOG IX: SIREN’S SONG
2022-10-17Vermont-based WhistlePig distillery has just unveiled its ninth edition of The Boss Hog series of rare and collectible whiskey. Named The Boss Hog IX: Siren’s Song, this release continues to uphold The Boss Hog’s five promises: single barrel, bottled at proof, powerfully complex, distinctly unique from anything they have done before, and stupendous. The liquid gold starts as a straight rye whiskey aged in American Oak and double cask finished in WhistlePig’s Greek fig nectar and farm-scratch tentura (forged from cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, orange peel, and honey), a Greek liqueur originating in the Peloponnesian city of Patras.
