Friday Favourites
Happy Friday Remix readers! The silly season is coming in hot and it’s not long until we all break off to celebrate welcoming the new year.
You know the drill, grab your beverage of choice, relax, and see what we have to offer for this weekend!
Allbirds x Staples limited edition Dasher
It all started when Jeff Staple, a sneaker legend and world-renowned creative, who founded Reed Art Department and STAPLE Pigeon, had the idea to turn Allbird’s Tree Dasher inside-out to see what exactly goes into making a performance shoe from nature. Rather than keeping the Carbon Footprint label, which every Allbirds product contains, under the insole, Staple put it prominently on display, with hopes to spark a convo about the environmental impact of the things to wear and buy! Honestly, how DASHING are these limited edition kicks?
Spotted: Tiffany & Co. in the Wonder Woman 1984 film
In the Patty Jenkins directed film, Wonder Woman's wardrobe gets a classy update that gives us even more reason to keep our eyes on her… We spotted the legendary Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Bone cuff in 18k yellow gold in the film preview, which apparently is a nod to Wonder Woman’s indestructible cuffs and a tribute to Prince’s real self - a hero. The groundbreaking Elsa Peretti design was introduced 50 years ago and perfectly contours to the wrist, showcasing the ergonomic sensuality that informs all of Peretti’s Tiffany & Co. designs. Like Gadot’s Diana Prince character, the cuff represents both strength and grace, while serving as an icon that is eternally modern and sophisticated.
