The Details x CFDA Weekender Collection: Custom Duffel Bags by 20 Top Designers
CFDA CEO Steven Kolb Details and the CFDA have teamed up for another Men's Project (remember those pocket squares last fall?). This time we asked 20 of the best men's designers for their interpretation of a classic weekender duffel bag. Last night, #menswear fans gathered at the Mondrian SoHo penthouse to raise a glass in honor of the bags and the men who designed them.

Now Open: Aether's Repurposed-Shipping-Container Shop in San Francisco
Converting shipping containers into fully functional shops is nothing new—London's Boxpark, which opened in 2011, was the first to use them in an outdoor pop-up mall, and a Starbucks in Tukwila, Washington, just south of Seattle, followed suit last year—but that doesn't mean we don't get excited each time a forward-thinking retailer gives the clunky metal boxes a new life. Aether Apparel is the latest brand to open a sustainable storefront in the San Francisco pop-up shopping hub Proxy, a two-block project of shops, galleries, and restaurants all made from renovated shipping containers.
