The biggest RTD brand in the world is coming to NZ
If you were asked to picture a typical American party, it would not be complete without red solo cups, a football game in the background, and a few iconic White Claws. DB Breweries are bringing White Claws (and this American dream) to Aotearoa, and celebrating with a ‘First Wave’ concept store. With a resident DJ on the decks, a fully stocked bar, and a ‘Claw and Win’ machine, this store is your one-stop shop to taste-test your first Claw. Only open this weekend (April 5th-7th)!

Could you use it in a sentence?
Loewe have outdone themselves with their new campaign “Decades of Confusion”. In a short film featuring the hilarious Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) and Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Rec), we follow the fashion house throughout four decades while the chameleon actress tackles the brand’s name in a spelling bee. Plaza’s deadpan delivery shines in looks from ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s LOEWE archive, as well as in a 2024 car-shaped dress which epitomises the Maison’s chic novelty.

She’s Done It Again
After sitting with Beyonce’s new album, Cowboy Carter, for a week, we can safely say she has not only effortlessly slid into the country scene, but made it her own. Reviewers have noted the singer’s ability in this album to reinvent American iconography, paying tribute to the Black culture that country music can sometimes ignore. We are all obsessed with Bey’s version of Dolly Parton’s Jolene.
Sustainable Style Makes a Splash
Shoe brand Marlo have reinvented the classic Kiwi gumboot. Forest Stewardship Council® certification ensures that the rubber in Marlo’s boots is responsibly sourced from sustainably managed forests. This means you can keep your tootsies warm and dry while actively contributing to the fight against deforestation, the preservation of vital ecosystems and endangered species, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities dependent on forests. On top of all of this, they are so cute you’ll be hoping the weather turns sour just so you can rock them.
