Inside the Spring 2025 Fashion Show: Ralph Lauren in the Hamptons September 2024 - Bridgehampton, NY: For this one night in September to kick off New York Fashion Week, Ralph Lauren rented out the Khalily Stables, a 19-acre “equestrian sanctuary” in Bridgehampton, where the blue skies glowed onto the grass, barns, stables, horses and vintage sports cars in the backdrop of a classic all-American sportswear runway show to highlight what the public can expect to purchase in the Spring of 2025. Bader Content Studios was invited to talk with the stars and celebrities on hand and to gauge their reaction to the more than 100 looks on the runway just before they were ushered into the temporary Polo Bar — re-created with incredible detail, down to the horse paintings on every inch of the walls along with the plush leather booth seats. We took David Lauren, the head of Innovation aside to better understand the spirit and theme of the collection and to assure us that the brand is conveying its optimistic vision and styling across the land to brighten up everyone’s spirit.

Bridgehampton, NY - Thursday, September 5, 2024: Ralph Lauren presented his Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Collection, Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren lines for men, women and children set against the natural beauty of Bridgehampton in a special runway show and hospitality experience. Ralph Lauren is renowned for transformative runway experiences that transport guests into his world that is not only cinematic, but personal. This season, that world is Ralph Lauren’s cherished ‘home away from home’. The Hamptons served as a canvas and special show venue for his Spring 2025 collection. It’s the backdrop to some of his most cherished memories with his family - driving in the open-air, embracing salty breezes, passing by vibrant farm stands, charming shingled cottages, sandy dunes, and the endless expanse of blue sky and ocean. The Spring 2025 Ralph Lauren Collection and Purple Label lines embody the essence of coastal sophistication and a spirit of romantic simplicity drawing inspiration from the Hamptons' natural splendor. Iconic blazers, impeccably tailored suits, and refined menswear shirts are rendered in a palette of blue and white, echoing the pristine sandy shores, expansive cerulean skies, and the depths of the Atlantic Ocean that embrace Long Island's coastline. Classic Ralph Lauren silhouettes are updated with sensual draping to capture the eclectic romance and rugged elegance found in the beachside towns. Seaside themes and sporting styles in shades of blue and crisp white continue into the Polo Ralph Lauren collection. Spectator style is re-imagined with bold graphic patterns and vivid colors that breathe new life into classic Polo Ralph Lauren styles, honoring the storied equestrian history of the Hamptons. The childrenswear embodies the timeless charm synonymous with Ralph Lauren and cherished across generations. This season celebrates the introduction of “The Ralph”, a new family of luxury handbags in the Ralph Lauren Collection. Inspired by Ralph Lauren’s passion for cars, the structural bags constructed from supple leather feature elegant hardware constructed from mix polished metals and Radica wood, mimicking the interiors of vintage automobiles and honoring fine Italian craftsmanship. Punctuating the guest experience, a curated selection from Ralph Lauren’s world class automotive collection captures an eclectic inside look at his longtime passion for functional beauty, greets guests as they arrive.

Swedish Match Kentucky Factory Expands ZYN Production Creating 450 Jobs Investing $232 Million OWENSBORO, KY - Tuesday, August 27, 2024 - Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear with Stacey Kennedy, CEO of Philip Morris International U.S. Business announced the Swedish Match Kentucky Manufacturing Facility Expansion to support the company’s U.S. mission to deliver a smoke-free future. The Kentucky facility is part of PMI smoke-free U.S. operations including Wilson, N.C., and an under-construction manufacturing center Aurora, Colorado. The expansion is expected to create an additional 450 direct jobs with an ongoing annual economic impact of $277 million and an additional 410 indirect jobs for the commonwealth of Kentucky. The facility produces ZYN nicotine pouches to help meet the growing demand from legal-age consumers switching from cigarettes or other traditional tobacco products. Construction of the expanded facility is already underway—including the addition of more production space—with progressive production increases expected during the project. Completion is targeted by the second quarter of 2025. The construction phase of the project alone is expected to create nearly 2,800 jobs with about $414 million in economic impact. Career opportunities at the facility will cover a wide range of skill levels including positions such as engineers, production staff, technicians and quality control.

Behind the Scenes Making of the Wu-Tang Clan rap star RZA’s Photo Shoot of a new Classical Album August 2024 - Los Angeles, CA: The Wu-Tang’s founding member, RZA is always evolving, from writing and producing seminal hip-hop records, scoring and directing movies to writing books. And now, his creative journey continues, as he releases an album, his first solo record since 2008, of classical music that he wrote and composed, The Ballet Through Mud, inspired by the notebooks of stories and lyrics that he wrote as a teenager. The Ballet is the culmination of RZA’s musical career, a work he is incredibly proud of, that represents the mastery of his craft, a record that speaks without lyrics and that can score the movie of anyone's daily life. Bader Studios Hollywood was invited exclusively to spend the day behind the scenes with the Staten Island New York native to experience the photo shoot that would set the direction and tone of this new work. Ballet is different to RZA’s other classical works, which have typically been film scores (Kill Bill, Ghost Dog, Blade Trinity) in service to an existing picture. The Ballet is purely RZA’s own ideas and inspiration from start to finish, coming at a time when he is fully able to wield the tools of a symphonic composer, evolving from looking for samples to tell his musical story in the early days of the Wu, to now composing for a full orchestra at his piano. Of course this is classical music on RZA’s terms, that owes as much to Isaac Hayes as it does Peter And The Wolf and Fantasia. As a producer he chose to mix the project in Dolby Atmos, on the Lennon Bus between concerts on the Wu-Tang and Nas tour!, upending traditional orchestral arrangements to try and give the listener the feeling of being the conductor.

Philip Morris International U.S. Affiliate to Create 500 Jobs Investing $600 Million in Aurora, CO Philip Morris International announced an investment of $600 million over the next two years through one of its U.S. affiliates to open a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Aurora, Colorado. The facility is expected to create 500 direct jobs with ongoing annual economic impact of $550 million and an additional 1,000 indirect jobs* for the State of Colorado as it produces Swedish Match ZYN nicotine pouches to help meet the growing global demand from legal-age consumers for smoke-free products. PMI’s U.S. affiliate plans to break ground on the new facility later this year and to begin preliminary operations by the end of 2025 with regular production starting in 2026. The construction phase of the project alone is expected to create nearly 5,000 jobs related to the building of the facility with nearly $1 billion in economic impact.* Career opportunities at the new facility will cover a wide range of skill levels including positions such as engineers, production staff, technicians and quality control, with an anticipated average annual salary of around $90,000. As previously announced, Swedish Match North America is also currently working to increase ZYN oral nicotine pouch production at its Owensboro, KY, facility. Ongoing investments in both Owensboro and Aurora are designed to provide sufficient capacity in the near and mid-term for the current adoption growth rate of ZYN with U.S. adult nicotine consumers, as well as capacity for exports. PMI first entered the U.S. market following its acquisition of Swedish Match in late 2022. Swedish Match’s ZYN oral nicotine pouches have been on the market in the U.S. for more than a decade and are designed as a better option for legal-age consumers who smoke and wish to continue using nicotine.

We demonstrated a new renewable gasoline blend last year that could reduce a vehicle’s lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions by more than 40%. If it’s produced at scale, people could buy the blend at regular gas stations. Learn how this gasoline blend was recently used at Toyota here: https://lnkd.in/g7Xeau-W
