“Shopping is a Feeling” - Lucky Jewel Opening

Lucky Jewel is being relaunched with the opening of a four day shopping extravaganza that will feature the work of more than 30 artists and designers from around the world. The pop-up will carry a diverse range of what the Lucky Jewel girls call “sentimental objects,” including clothing, jewelry, home goods, and fine art. The opening will also offer artisanal food and cocktails.

The event itself doubles as an installation that references a home, because of Lucky Jewel’s emphasis on the home and homegoods. The New York based collective is inspired by and devoted to the force of sentimentality when it comes to handmade objects — what they grow to mean to us and the feeling that goes into it as it is made. The head designers infuse this ideology into all facets of their ephemeral shop, as they construct all the elements by hand — from the dressing rooms and clothing racks to the hangers.

You can visit the Lubov Gallery on East Broadway for shopping Friday from 3-9pm. The following three days of the re-launch will be open from 1-6pm.

Be sure to check it out this weekend with your wallet and heart open!

Dating Olympics

April 23, 2024

In the wake of significant challenges including the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war which has heavily impacted production and logistics, Syndicate continues to innovate by integrating themes of survival, resilience, and the complex emotions involved in modern relationships. The collection features bold, thematic elements such as textual prints derived from real-life break-up phrases embodying the irony and emotional depth of contemporary dating narratives.

Some of the collection prints were created in collaboration with Magalie Heroux — a London-based graphic designer, the "Dating Olympics" collection employs a mix of early 2000s aesthetics with simple, impactful fonts and ironic slogans, capturing a nostalgic yet fresh vibe. The use of heat-reactive techniques further enriches the tactile experience, emphasising the warmth and connection that are essential to human interaction.

Shot by the Icelandic photographer and frequent Björk collaborator Vidar Logi, who's known for his distinctive style that blends natural landscapes with human elements, the “Dating Olympics” campaign is the perfect visual ode to the creative vision of the Syndicate founders Taras and Iryna.

With this collection, Syndicate not only addresses the hardships faced by many due to the current geopolitical situation but also celebrates the enduring human spirit to love and connect, even in times of adversity. The "Dating Olympics" is more than a fashion statement—it's a testament to the resilience and adaptability of love.
