Here are some photos from the Superdry New York store launch party which was held last night. The store was closed to the public from 6PM onward and open only to invited guests and press to see the full set of apparel, bags, accessories, and jeans. I was told that folks from the UK (Superdry’s headquarters) were at the event to see the opening of the company’s first dedicated Superdry outlet. The store itself is huge (one of the largest single clothing retailers along Broadway) and the inside is outfitted with unique clothing shelves that were branded and made to look like they were picked up at the junkyard.
While people were mingling and having food and drinks, I looked around at their line and was impressed with their line of jackets, some of which I don’t recall seeing at their online store at Cult. In any case, I really wanted to try them on but I felt a bit weird doing so at the opening party, so I’ll probably head back in at a later time and let you know how they feel.
The attention to detail even came down to the tags on the clothes as some items included a nice and beat-up aluminum piece to take home after purchase. Overall, the store is worth a visit and inside you’ll find a wealth of great clothing and accessories options for this coming winter. If you aren’t in NYC, here are some photos you can check out.
Times are a’changin’ and DQM has finally launched an online store to go along with their great selection of in-store goodies. So if you can’t make it to their NYC outlet, now’s a good time to browse their online store and beat the lines at the register (there aren’t really lines…I’m just sayin’).
The U.S.S. New York is expected to arrive in New York this weekend or early next week in an official launching ceremony put on by the US Navy. The new warship, which bears the name New York in remembrance of the former World Trade Center towers, is actually built from recycled steel from the WTC wreckage. On the deck of the ship are two towers that not only make you think of the WTC towers, but they also serve a purpose in cloaking the ship from radar.
But the New York is also a warship. It is roughly the length of two football fields, and gleaming, with fresh paint and sophisticated technology. Dubbed an “amphibious transport dock,” it is the fifth in a new line of San Antonio-class vessels, distinguished by two hexagonal structures that make it harder to spot the ship on radar and that some have likened to the twin towers.
I love how this ship looks sleek and powerful with all of its angled lines. Definitely something I’d refer to as the Reventon of the seas (or at least of the US Navy).
Wow, lots of new features being shown off in this launch video for the new Nintendo DSi, coming out April 5, 2009.
Downloadable applications, webcam with touchscreen features (almost like a Photobooth in your hands), and audio recording features, plus much more other improvements in UI over the first-generation DS…
