The minor-leaguing Cyclones are set to host "Williamsburg Night" out at their Coney Island field on June 5th, where they toast that special breed of Brooklynite –– le poseur hipsteur –– with vouchers and prizes. Have a beard? Have a voucher. Inclined towards the more tapered of jeans? Head down to the field after the game, because your eligible to run the bases in a prize we'd like to call "neighborhood of the traveling pants." (HuffPo)
Hiroshi Sugimoto, clandestine Chelsea Tea House purveyor and prolific artist, will be the man behind the latest in Hermés scarves. Named the brand's third "Carre d'Artiste," his polaroid-based work from his "Color of Shadow" series –– images that recorded the synthesis of colors as morning light passed through glass –– will be translated onto those iconic silk threads in June.
