Ahead of the Pack FASHION: PACKABLE BURBERRY OUTERWEAR Clever, space-saving design meets fashion for the whole family in the form of Burberry’s line of packable outerwear for men, women, and children. Master of the trench, Burberry’s newest offerings include a multitude of chic styles and colors — all made to travel. Designed in the ﬁnest of polyester with chunky buttons and hardware, certain styles are able to fold up into their own front pocket, while others packaway into a provided pouch. For those with active, timezonehopping lifestyles, Burberry’s got you covered. — ALEXANDER WOLF /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Save The DATE SNEAKERS: D.A.T.E. What would you get if you mixed a pair of ﬂashy Air Jordan Retro 3s with a pair of classically elegant Common Projects? Probably something like a pair of kicks from the Fall/Winter 2008 collection of super hip Italian sneaker company D.A.T.E.. Founded in 2006, D.A.T.E. takes its name from the initials of the four founders: Damiano Innocenti, Alessandro Zanobini, Tommaso Santoni, and Emiliano Paci. Haven’t heard of the line? Not surprising, as it’s just made its way to the U.S. market, currently only available at Bloomingdale’s in New York. But keep your eyes peeled: We have a feeling D.A.T.E. sneakers will soon hit the shelves of a store near you. Our recommendations: the Tender Low and High styles, as well as The Sport High. — KEN COURTNEY /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Extreme Sailing COLLECTION: PUMA OCEAN RACING The classic cat is hitting the water — and doing it in style. This month, Team Puma, the 10-man yachting crew representing the iconic sportswear brand, is embarking on its ﬁrst extreme sailing competition: the 2008/2009 Volvo Ocean Race. The nine-month-long ocean marathon starts in Alicante, Spain, and continues over 38,000 nautical miles to Cape Town, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, Stockholm and four other ports before crossing the ﬁnish line in St. Petersburg. Team Puma’s 70-foot yacht, christened Il Monstro (“The Monster”) for its intimidating design, is scheduled to stop in Boston for two weeks in May. Billions of dollars have been spent reclaiming the Boston waterfront under the city’s Save the Harbor project, and fashionistas and sailing fanatics will get to see Il Monstro — and Team Puma’s quirky commemorative apparel — at the newly developed Fan Pier and Rowes Wharf. Puma’s three nautical-inspired lines meet the needs of athletes and spectators alike with high-performance gear and lifestyle-inspired pieces and accessories. — ER THAT CK ONE IS BEING RE-RELEASED IN A NEWLY DESIGNED, LIMITED EDITION BOTTLE THIS FALL? Hip to be Square COLLABORATION: HERMES AND JOSEF ALBERS “The aim of art is living creation,” German artist Josef Albers (1888-1976) once said. Now, with the help of Hermes, you can live in the art of Albers himself. Hommage au Carre is Hermes’ ﬁrst limited edition design on silk scarves, and is a loyal rendering of six works from Albers’ historic series, Hommage to the Square. He was honored as the ﬁrst living artist to have a retrospective exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and his classic Squares paintings honor the pure and simple aspects of color and the optical illusion properties of superimposed squares. The Hermes silk designs are exact scaled replicas, 90 x 90 cm each and printed in limited batches of 200, hand-numbered from 1 to 200. They are available in select Hermes stores nationwide. –AS CITY TY 33
