Eating and drinking (RED). The (RED) supper

May 22, 2015 by Editorial Team

Eat (RED) Drink (RED) Save Lives. Top Chefs Fight AIDS at The (RED) Supper.

This June, eating and drinking (RED) will save lives. Thousands of restaurants worldwide are uniting with one shared goal: the fight for a world in which every child is born HIV free. Starting June 1, foodies everywhere will be able to eat and drink (RED) at more than 13,000 locations – from Los Angeles to London, Monaco to Mumbai and Sydney to Seattle.

Spearheaded by Mario Batali, the second annual Eat (RED) Drink (RED) Save Lives campaign offers food fans around the world a month-long program of special events and experiences, unique (RED) menu items and social media activations, all designed to raise money and awareness for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS.

It costs as little as 40 cents for two life-saving pills that, when taken daily, can prevent an HIV+ mom from passing the virus to her unborn baby. Still, 650 babies are needlessly born with the virus every day. Eat (RED) Drink (RED) Save Lives rallies the culinary world to help get that number nearer to zero.

“Food is a natural convener of people, and affords families and friends endless opportunities to share stories, ideas and discuss what’s happening in the world. For this reason, Eat (RED) Drink (RED) Save Lives is as much about raising money for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS as it is about inspiring conversation and action around the table,” explains Deborah Dugan, CEO of (RED).

On May 31, the campaign officially launches at ‘The (RED) Supper’ – an extraordinary al fresco dining experience hosted by Mario Batali on New York City’s Pier 26. The event will bring together ten of today’s most celebrated chefs who will create very special four-course (RED) menus using locally sourced ingredients.

Encouraging people to join the AIDS fight by eating and drinking (RED), (RED) co- founder and U2 front man, Bono, recorded a special “limerick” for his friend who’s leading the campaign for (RED), chef extraordinaire, Mario Batali.

Designed for both business and surfing – “True Wetsuits”

May 18, 2015 by Editorial Team

A business suit for surfing.

Today surfing is a sport as well as culture loved by many. QUIKSILVER, one of the world’s leading outdoor sports lifestyle companies, came up with a suit which can
be worn on business occasions, for parties, and, of course, surfing.

“It is possible to traverse the office and beaches without changing clothes in this high-performance waterproof wetsuit,” said Quiksilver. “It comes in three styles: office smart, casual Friday and party tuxedo, corresponding to every scene of the businessman surfer.”

QUIKSILVER’s “TRUE WETSUITS” is designed to fit every aspect of users’ lives to make both life and surfing more fun. The “True Westuits” includes a jacket, pants, a shirt, and a tie, and is priced at 300,000 Japanese yen (excluding tax).

The “True WETSUITS” is available with three styles – black, navy, and tuxedo, that is appropriate even for business occasions after surfing. The “black” and “navy” models feature a single breasted two-button jacket that can be worn casually.

The jacket and pants are made of a 2mm super high-stretch jersey neoprene, the same fabric Quicksilver uses to make regular wetsuits.

The parts are joined with glued and blind-stitched seams (GBS), a method specially developed for wetsuit production. The pinholes do not penetrate the fabric to prevent water from coming inside the wetsuit.

The pockets are designed flat to prevent them from catching water while surfing. The breast pockets have been designed specifically for use outside the water. The inside pocket on the left breast of the jacket is designed with a fastener and drain hole, to store any electronic devices in business situations, and the outside pocket on the same breast is designed with a slit and space to carry a handkerchief.
