Est. 1992

March 31, 2022

If someone were to make a list of New York City's most iconic small businesses, Daniel's Leather would definitely be found somewhere near the top of the list. Nestled in between apartment buildings, restaurants, and bodegas on Orchard Street, this Lower East Side fur and leather shop has developed a cult following among New Yorkers since it first opened its doors in 1992. It quickly became known as a celebrity hot spot during the 90s and early 2000s for its head-turning storefront that showcases its massive collection of vibrantly-colored furs and luxury leather pieces.

In a new photo series featuring some of the shop's bold designs, artists Marcus Correa and Ricky Alvarez pay homage to this New York City staple and its fashion-forward founder Nadeem Waheed. The photoshoot gives an inside-look at the business, and highlights some of the designer jackets and coats available at the store.

Skylark Negril hosts Sweet Like JAM pop up

October 01, 2025

This past weekend Skylark Negril hosted the debut of Sweet Like JAM, a pop-up boutique dreamed up by stylist and JAM founder Mecca James-Williams. Built to celebrate Jamaican culture through fashion, art, and music, the boutique pulls together thirty-five designers from Jamaica and across the diaspora, from Diotima and Theophilio to Bianca Saunders and House of Aama.

For many of these brands, it’s one of the only locations their pieces have been available to shop in Jamaica, and Skylark’s platform makes the connection feel intentional, while spotlighting Jamaican artists and makers for both locals and international guests.The weekend vibes included a ribbon cutting, Jamaican food at Miss Lily’s, and an all day beach party with sets from Zuri Marley and performances by Naomi Cowan, and closed with a designer panel featuring Bianca Saunders, Edvin Thompson of Theophilio, and Troy Oriane.

Open through October 9, Sweet Like JAM brings a new dimension to the already creative presence of Skylark, creating a living installation of fashion, community, and culture, and a reminder of how a small island continues to shape trends and culture globally.

THE ROOM YOU CARRY

September 18, 2025

In collaboration with USM Modular Furniture, Loren Daye of LOVEISENOUGH is launching a conceptual furniture installation in New York titled "THE ROOM YOU CARRY". One of USM's most experimental installations so far, it is more than a simple exhibition, it is a varied exploration of the concepts of nomadic living, escapism and liminal spaces. Featuring hand-carved wood, panels of glass and sharp metal lines of steel and chrome, the installation is a striking project simultaneously recognisable yet deeply unexpected.

Designed as an escape from the overstimulation of New York, this multisensory experience is debuting on 19th September, at USM Modular Furniture on Greene street, and will run until the end of the year, with the interior styling changing over the months to reflect a meaningful human narrative of engagement and change.
