從公路到青春：Wood Wood 2025 秋冬形象企劃「Double A」率先曝光
重點摘要 Wood Wood 即將為 2025 秋冬系列「Sphere」推出全新企劃「Double A」。由創意總監 Brian SS Jensen 與設計總監 Gitte Wetter 掌舵，企劃跳脫系列原有的自然與未來主義脈絡，改以更私密的敘事 —— 不加修飾的友情、青春，以及馳騁公路的自由 —— 作為主軸。 「『Double A』一直致力於構築人人易於穿搭的日常衣櫥，但本季我們想更深入挖掘友情與共享體驗。」Jensen 向 Hypebeast 表示，並補充：「整個企劃都關於青春、公路之旅，以及與好友共享的那些神奇時刻 —— 音樂放到最大、車窗全落、目的地不設限。」 整輯影像刻意保留粗獷的紀錄片調性，捕捉好友橫貫公路時的即興能量；捨棄華麗布景，聚焦於從臨時路邊停靠到深夜高速公路轟鳴的真實片段。Jensen 解釋：「一切都很有機、很自然。我們想呈現一種宛如回憶的真實體驗…… 允許不完美，也擁抱即興。」 「Double A」不單是一輯系列造型照，更將 Wood Wood 的標誌性單品重新定位為盛載共享回憶與集體能量的載體。Jensen 希望穿着者能感受到歸屬感：「我希望大家在我們的服裝裡既舒適又自信，同時覺得自己屬於更宏大的共享故事。」他續指：「這些單品讓你早上隨手套上，便能陪你走過任何場合；對我而言，這個系列講的就是年輕與自由。」 「Double A」將於 Wood Wood 各大官方渠道正式揭曉。

Remembering Eddie Palmieri's Delightful Tiny Desk Performance
Even at 80, Latin music titan Eddie Palmieri was as agile as ever on the keys. That's the first thing you notice from his 2016 Tiny Desk concert, which starts with a camera fixed on Palmieri's dexterous fingers as he plays 'Iraida,' the touching composition he wrote for his wife, who died in 2014. A stripped-back affair featuring no backing band or accompanying musicians, the concert showed the music veteran in a simple white baseball cap and blue T-shirt — no pretension, just Palmieri and his piano. Palmieri, who died on Wednesday at the age of 88, didn't hold anything back when he visited NPR headquarters. After 'Iraida,' he dove into an acrobatic rendition of 'The Persian Scale,' calling it simply a 'very interesting composition.' But his final song, ''La Libertad,' captured the playful innovation, upbeat improvisation, and progressive political beliefs that followed him throughout his career. More from Rolling Stone Watch Sly and the Family Stone Rip Through 'I Want to Take You Higher' at Woodstock Dire Wolves Are Back. One 'Dire Wolf' Never Went Away How CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso Got the Whole World Dancing and Laughing Palmieri, who spoke only briefly between songs, set up 'La Libertad' by sharing the story of its title. 'I was in Venezuela,' he explained. 'There I met a great writer, a newspaper man, and I was recording an album called Justicia, which means 'justice,' and I asked him, 'Who would be the son or daughter of justice?'' The man, he went on, answered that the daughter of justice would logically be 'la libertad,' which means 'freedom.' 'I was so impressed with that answer that I wrote a composition called 'La Libertad.'' He added one more instruction for fans, one that he emphasized often: 'If you want to dance, do it.' Palmieri's death was confirmed by his daughter, Gabriela Palmieri, who told The New York Times that her father had died following 'an extended illness.' Palmieri had cancelled a few shows, including South Beach Jazz Festival this January, because of ongoing illness, but he continued playing late into his life. Fania Records, which released many of his recordings, mourned his loss, calling him 'one of the most innovative and unique artists in music history.'
