   Man of many hours, Jarrod Guy Randolph with friend Jasmine Takanikos.  DJ Michaelangelo L¡ÇAcqua  CORE Real Estate Group celebrates their recent prize winning acquisition, however not in the form of property but of new agent, Jarrod Guy Randolph. Although, he bears a most youthful demeanor, this gentleman has 10 years of experience under his belt and a sales record of over $500 million, which is what got him named on the prestigious Forbes list of "30 under 30." Mr. Randolph's amicable persona will soon air on HGTV¡Çs hit series, "Selling New York," where all can view exactly how he moves multi-million dollar luxe Manhattan real estate without breaking a sweat and maintaining a smile. When asked about his sentiments on making the list, Mr. Randolph said: ¡ÈI cannot express how honored I am to be a part of the coveted Forbes '30 Under 30' in real estate. With this exciting acknowledgement, I have no choice but to take my business to the next level and knock it out of the ball park!¡É The commemoration was hosted in CORE's exclusive Blue Penthouse at 105 Norfolk Street. Many of the diverse mix of attendees were Mr. Randolph's friends and ranged from stylish downtown types to the upper crust. Interestingly enough, the congregation reflected Mr. Randolph's varied clientele, which consists of celebs, musicians, and designers. DJ Michaelangelo L¡ÇAcqua (Global Music Director for the W Hotels) kept hitting the right spots with a familiar musical selection mirroring one's own ipod play list. Staging came courtesy of celebrity interior designer, Lauren Stern. Additionally, on display were the melodic works of Mr. Randolph's dear friend, Conor Mccreedy. The ambiguity and indecisiveness of Mccreedy's movements are complimented by his clear direction and bold commentary on race, sexuality and social identity. As an Aquarius, his "blue period" definitely coincide with the water bearer aspect of his astrological sign and pair gracefully with the indigo tinted windows of the CORE's Blue Penthouse. ~ Mister Lee - http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mhj45gjkk/jarrod-guy-randolph-principal-vice-president-and-director-young-randolph-young-of-brown-harris-stevens-28/ http://corenyc.com/105-norfolk-street-ph.html http://lacqua.net/ http://laurensterndesign.com/welcome.html http://www.conormccreedy.com/ | |

| Industry Of All Nations x Kenya Vintage | |
    Not many brands can always combine Earth friendly production with such style as does the Los Angeles based, Industry Of All Nations. They go further than simply using environmentally conscious methods by seeking out various global communities where materials are innate to its region, while also aiming to employ local craftsmen and factories. IOAN has recently made the long time favorite sneaker line, Kenya Vintage, available for the 1st time outside of Africa. The footwear is manufactured in Mombasa, Kenya and composed of 100% African cotton upper and laces, aluminum eyelets and 100% natural rubber. Offered in an array of colors to suite your mood, their lightweight construction, give the feel as if almost walking barefoot. ~ Mister Lee - http://www.industryofallnations.com/Kenya-Vintage-Sneakers-BLACK-PID11123-BLK.aspx?mmcid=11124 http://www.industryofallnations.com/Home.aspx | |

Kitsune set up shop in the Big Apple Left to Right: Jim Moore, Gildas Loaëc, Dexter Peart, Ted Stafford, and Justin Doss.  Left to Right: Jennifer Zuccarini, Nick Wooster, Dexter Peart, and Lee Anne Enrico.  Left to Right: Caroline Walker, Gildas Loaec, and Annabelle Dexter Jones.     Guards  After Party at Le Baron's NY Version ( image courtesy of http://24hpp.com ) Worth the wait, Kitsune finally open their 1st ever New York City boutique in conjunction with the NoMad Hotel. The clean, modern, French aesthetic of the brand, pair naturally against the NoMad's art nouveau decor and romantic French Renaissance architecture. Gildas Loaec, one half of the founding duo, spoke a bit on the venture: "We got the chance to be invited by the NoMad team to operate our store out of the hotel, so it was kind of a big opportunity. Being from Paris, New York is such dream for us cause it's quite the big city. About 2 years ago, we were thinking of opening up a store, but the timing is great in this area. We are extremely happy." The concept of the shop stems from it's other co-founder, Masaya Kuroki. All 1,000 square feet of space seek to lure forward thinkers who share a lush, but sleek taste in fashion, sound, design and overall lifestyle. In addition, the store offers a select group of accessories delicately curated by both its founders, which compliment the brand and range from WANT Les Essentials de la Vie, Monocle, to Michel Vivien and Aesop. The brand will soon showcase an exclusive collaboration with the 120 year-old French shoemakers J.M. Weston. Initially conceived in 2002, Kitsune has established itself as a lifestyle with its hand in design, apparel and music. Much of this can be attributed to the backgrounds of its founders, as Gildas was former manager to the French outfit, Daft Punk, while Masaya, a former architect. The mod universal nature of the brand has translated in the opening of shops and a host of musical showcases worldwide. ~ Mister Lee - http://www.kitsune.fr/ http://www.thenomadhotel.com/ http://wantessentials.com/ http://www.monocle.com/ http://www.michelvivien.fr/ http://www.aesop.com/ http://guards.bandcamp.com/ | |

| Robert Geller x Fred Segal Man | |
Spring 2012 In a limited edition capsule collection, Robert Geller and Fred Segal Man have joined forces to offer up a 4 select styles ranging from - garment dyed Japanese denim rider jacket, fade-dye hooded sweatshirt, sleeveless "Oceanside" reversible t-shirt and cropped neon Japanese denim. "Fred Segal is one of our leading retail partners who have been ushering the way in men's fashion retail for many years. We had been thinking about a great collaboration for some time now and wanted to do something that felt very California, while keeping the moodiness of the Robert Geller collection. The look we created is cool and laid back. Two of our pieces - the sleeveless "Oceanside" t-shirt and cropped neon yellow Japanese denim - are items that nod to our Spring 2008 "Beuys Don't Cry" collection. I love the way these exclusive looks turned out and think it fits the Fred Segal customer quite well." - Robert Geller - http://www.shopfredsegalman.com/ http://www.robertgeller-ny.com/ | |
