Madhappy opens first New York flagship in Nolita
Contemporary clothing brand Madhappy is set to open on Saturday its first flagship in New York City.
Located at 207 Mulberry Street in Nolita, the 1,800-square-foot space was designed in partnership with LA-based creative studio PlayLab, Inc. The dual-level boutique brings Madhappy's signature visual language to New York, featuring blue-dyed concrete, brushed aluminum, ceramic tile, and Douglas fir.
The store will be home to Pantry, Madhappy's café concept that first launched in Los Angeles. The café will serve a rotating menu curated with both local and global culinary partners, including coffee and tea from Japanese-based café, Hotel Drugs; Persian baked goods and pastries from Sofreh; and cold-pressed juice from Toms Juice.
The store opens with Madhappy's latest collections and recent collaborations, including its Guest In Residence project with Gigi Hadid.
Madhappy will equally release limited-edition capsules available exclusively in-store. The collections pay tribute to iconic New York institutions, with pieces featuring collaborations with the New York Yankees, the New York Mets, and Brooklyn pizzeria Lucali.
The boutique marks the brand's second permanent location, following its flagship debut in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. It also follows a series of seasonal pop-ups in markets like East Hampton, Miami, Chicago, and Tokyo.

Boots revenue rises, boosted by beauty, but profits hit by one-offs
Boots owner Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) files results every quarter but doesn't always give a huge amount of detail about the UK Boots chain. So it was useful to see Boots UK's latest set of accounts filed at Companies House, showing just how strong its recovery has been at least in terms of revenue. Boots UK is only one part of the wider Boost business but the figures for the leading UK health and beauty retailer do give us some insight. They cover the 12 months to the end of August last year during which time it operated 1,840 stores, down from 2,177 a year earlier. That fact was key as it helped contribute to the overall profitability of the business and boosted its margins. The Boots UK business is divided into Pharmacy (the sale of prescription drugs and pharmacy-related services, which accounts for a little over 30% of the total), and Retail, (which covers all the beauty, health and lifestyle products that it sells in its store stores and online). Retail makes up almost 69% of the business and the percentage has been skewing in its favour year on year. So first, let's look at the figures. Overall revenue during the year increased 3.7% to £7.313 billion. That followed an 8.3% jump in the previous year. Operating profit surged by an astounding 211.4% to £274 million (although that was heavily impacted by a one off benefit) and overall profit for the year was up an even more impressive 348.9% at £211 million for the same reason. As for that increase in profit, it included a one-off past service credit related to its pension scheme and excluding this, operating profit actually fell by £33 million. The fall was due to increased impairment related to stores and IT software, which more than offset the higher gross margin that it enjoyed. But it's clear that with higher margins from a rationalised store estate, profitability is moving in the right direction Earlier this year, the company warned that it faced increased cost pressures despite its stronger sales and was focused on navigating these. It's unclear how these might affect its business in the current financial year, although its parent company's next set of results might give some kind of clue. That said we won't be getting regularly-filed results from US-based WBA for that much longer given that it's being taken private by Sycamore Partners with the deal expected to complete by the end of this year.

Global slowdown in banking regulation
In autumn 2008, during the global banking crisis, the British government was forced to take the unthinkable step: It urgently nationalized two banks, including Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the world's largest financial institutions. On Friday, May 30, 17 years later, it finally sold off its remaining stake, closing the chapter on one of the largest financial collapses in history. After two decades, are the lessons of that crisis at risk of being forgotten? The United States, European Union and United Kingdom are currently delaying the implementation of new banking regulations, each fearing unfair competition from the others. "We are not yet in a race to the bottom, but the risk is very real," summed up Nicolas Véron of the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), a US-based think tank. The standoff centers on the Basel III standards. These are set by the Basel Committee, a body that brings together supervisors from 28 countries and institutions. After the 2008 financial crisis, Basel II standards were introduced as early as 2010 to strengthen the capital banks were required to hold. Then, in 2017, Basel III standards were established, with implementation planned for 2022. Japan and Canada remain the only two major jurisdictions to have complied.

Asian markets wobble as Trump-Xi talks offset by Musk row
The much-anticipated discussions between the heads of the world's biggest economies fuelled hopes for an easing of tensions following the US leader's "Liberation Day" global tariff blitz that targeted Beijing particularly hard. However, investors remained wary after an extraordinary social media row between Trump and billionaire former aide Musk that saw the two trade insults and threats, and sent Wall Street into the red. Wall Street's three main indexes ended down as Musk's electric vehicle company Tesla tanked more than 14 percent and the president threatened his multibillion-dollar government contracts. Asian equities fluctuated in early business, with some observers suggesting traders were positioning for what could be a volatile start to next week in light of the row and upcoming US jobs data. Hong Kong dropped after three days of strong gains, while Shanghai and Taiwan also retreated. Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore and Wellington rose. Chris Weston at Pepperstone said that while the call with Xi was "seen as a step in the right direction, (it) proved to offer nothing tangible for traders to work with and attention has quickly pushed back to the Trump-Musk war of words". "It's all about US nonfarm payrolls from here and is an obvious risk that Asia-based traders need to consider pre-positioning for," he added. He said there was a risk of Trump sparking market-moving headlines over the weekend given that he is "now fired up and the risk of him saying something through the weekend that moves markets on the Monday open is elevated". The US jobs figures, which are due later Friday, will be closely followed after a below-par reading on private hiring this week raised worries about the labour market and outlook for the world's top economy. They come amid bets that the Federal Reserve is preparing to resume cutting interest rates from September, even as economists warn that Trump's tariffs could reignite inflation. Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management warned that while poor jobs figures could signal further weakness in the economy, a strong reading could deal a blow to the market. "In this upside-down market regime, strength can be weakness. A hotter-than-expected (figure) could force traders to price out Fed cuts. That's the paradox in play—where good news on Main Street turns into bad news on Wall Street." Key figures at around 0230 GMT Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.5 percent at 37,730.67 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.3 percent at 23,844.13 Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.1 percent at 3,382.06 Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.1435 from $1.1444 on Thursday Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.3567 from $1.3571 Dollar/yen: UP at 143.84 yen from 143.58 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 84.27 pence from 84.31 pence Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.3 percent at $65.17 per barrel
