Assorted news

Freshnessmag has no fewer than three interesting bits of news.

First, Disney freaks may recognize the character Oswald the Lucky Rabit, who pre-dates Mickey Mouse. According to Freshness, the first company that Disney has given (or sold a license, I assume) rights to use Oswald is none other than Comme des Garcons. See the Freshness post for details, including links to stuff about Oswald.

Second: In a post about Supreme’s new line, there’s this image below. I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for somebody to do a riff on the logo-covered NASCAR-style jackets that are (mysteriously, in my view) popular on “the street.” (Specifically, I wanted to see a bunch of the streetwear clique brands get together and do a collaboration on a set of these jackets covered with their logos.) Maybe somebody else has done such a riff before this, but so far as I know, Supreme is the first:

Here is Supreme’s site. Here is an old Consumed about Supreme.

Third & finally: While I’d read that Muji was planning to open a flagship store in New York, I hadn’t realized that it’s going to be in the new NYT building. Interesting. Here is an old Consumed about Muji.
