Story-1:: How Salehe Bembury Went from Payless to Versace to Birthing His Own Brand | IDEA GENERATION
Overview: Designer and creative Salehe Bembury takes us on a journey from his childhood growing up in Manhattan, to an invaluable degree in industrial design, to working with some of the biggest names in fashion... before breaking off to make a name of his own.
This week we see how Bembury is able to tightrope-walk the line of convention to take his art to new heights. By day, Bembury can dip into his traditional bag, and cold-call someone on LinkedIn. But by night, the rule book gets tossed, and Bembury can take the ordinary - a Cuban link chain, for example - and turn it into something extraordinary.
Follow along as Bembury lays out the blueprint for his career, and takes us all the way from his first sketch to his thriving personal brand, Spunge.

Story-2:: Swedish House Mafia’s IKEA Collab
Overview: Once 2022 rolls its credits, Swedish House Mafia will look back and say “What a hell of a year.” The EDM supergroup composed of Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell and Steve Angello put on two electrifying headliner performances at Coachella in conjunction with The Weeknd, dropped their debut studio album Paradise Again, and are now embarking on a new endeavor: their own collection with IKEA. Very seldom do music artists and furniture design overlap, but Swedish House Mafia x IKEA is a match made in heaven (and Sweden).
Story-3:: Nike Jersey’s Let’s GO!
With just over two months until the world’s finest soccer federations battle it out for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar anticipation is rising to a fever pitch, and Nike is adding fuel to the footy fire with the reveal of their home and away federation jerseys for the World Cup’s latest installment. The Swoosh is representing 13 countries in total — the USA, England, France, Poland, Qatar, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Canada, Croatia, Australia, South Korea and Brazil — and each design celebrates the rich football culture of its home country.
“Our new team collections represent the latest example of how we serve athletes with pinnacle product innovation from Pitch to Street,” said Scott Dixon, the VP of global men’s football at Nike. “With 5 billion fans across the globe, no other sport brings people together more than football.

Story-5:: Negronis with Greg
Overview: Over the last couple of years, we talked about doing some fun video or live chat to talk about different versions of the drink we had concocted, rare bottles we had stumbled upon, or use it as an excuse to pour a cold one and chop it up. Well, Greg moved from Chicago to Orlando, schedules become surprisingly more complex, and we never found time. Fast forward to this spring WM Brown’s own Matt Hranek (@Matthranek) released a book, ‘The Negroni A Love Affair with a Classic Cocktail,’ and it got us talking about Negroni’s again.
Join us on an Adventure to explore Italy’s Most Iconic Aperitivo Cocktail.

Over text messages and phone calls, we discussed different ways we could explore this classic cocktail over text messages and phone calls, how we might share that information, what all we could talk about, how we would collaborate, etc. Fast forward to the middle of the summer; it hit me; what if we called the segment ‘Negronis with Greg’ and used Matt’s book as a sort of guide to exploring the vast world that is the NEGRONI! Sure, we will stray from time to time from Matt’s book; yeah, we will try our own version and riffs on the drink. Of course, we will one-up each other on who can find the more elusive vintage and hard-to-find ingredients. And above all, we are going to share far too many dang posts on cocktails.
While we likely won’t have a set cadence or a set medium, rest assured, the content will amaze and aww. Most importantly, it will have you heading to your favorite spirit purveyor to procure this tasty beverage known simply as the Negroni.
-Greg and Reed
