Supreme x GOODENOUGH Spring 2025 Collaboration
Supremeis launching a newSpring 2025collaboration withGOODENOUGH, the seminal Japanese clothing brand established in 1990 by streetwear godfatherHiroshi Fujiwara. GOODENOUGH, which laid the foundation for contemporary Japanese street fashion, was born from Fujiwara's cross-cultural immersion in early '80s London punk and New York hip-hop culture. Fujiwara founded GOODENOUGH, blending diverse influences like punk, hip-hop, BMX, skateboarding, and luxury fashion with a refined sensibility. The brand became known for high-quality, utilitarian garments with intelligent graphics, limited quantities, and luxury pricing – a blueprint for the modern streetwear market. This approach profoundly impacted emerging designers likeJun Takahashi(UNDERCOVER) andNigo(A Bathing Ape), who Fujiwara mentored. Despite its influence, Fujiwara ceased GOODENOUGH operations in the late '90s to focus on smaller design projects. The new Supreme x GOODENOUGH Spring 2025 collection features a comprehensive range of apparel and accessories, including an MA-1 Jacket, Patchwork Jacket, Sweater, Patchwork Shirt, Crushed Rayon Shirt, Thermal, S/S Top, Hooded Sweatshirt, Patchwork Pant, Military Pant, Short, two T-Shirts, 6-Panel, Camp Cap, and Crusher. The pieces revive the GOODENOUGH branding, combining Fujiwara's design ethos with Supreme's staple skate-inspired silhouettes. A standout piece from the collection is aNike Air Force 1 Low, made exclusively for Supreme. This special edition features a full-grain leather upper, perforated leather toe panel, DURAPLUSH lining, co-branded footbed, embroidered and debossed logos, a ponyhair Swoosh and printed logos on translucent outsoles.

Aadhya Anand reveals How ‘Knock Knock Kaun Hai' tested her mentally and emotionally
Mumbai: Actress Aadhya Anand has opened up about the intense journey she underwent while filming 'Knock Knock Kaun Hai,' describing the role as her most mentally and emotionally demanding to date. The actress revealed that inhabiting her complex character pushed her beyond her comfort zone at every turn. Stepping away from her familiar teenage, romantic parts, Aadhya tackles a role that's deeply nuanced, startlingly unpredictable, and packed with emotional intensity. Speaking about the transition, she shared, 'Someone with a strong background in sports and athletics, I've always been drawn to roles that are high energy and dynamic. While I enjoy playing sweet romantic characters, I felt it was time to explore something more intense and layered. Knock Knock Kaun Hai? is a complete rollercoaster, mystery, thriller, romance, murder that keeps you guessing. Preparing for this role pushed me mentally and emotionally. It was growth as an actor, and a transformative journey.' The series also features Kush Jotwani and Arjun Deswal in key roles. With the backdrop of college life, 'Knock Knock Kaun Hai' explores themes of danger, intrigue, and hidden truths. The series will be available to stream on Amazon MX Player from May 22. Aadhya is known for her roles in 'Bombay Begums,' 'Crushed,' 'Friday Night Plan,' and 'Bravehearts,' and now she steps into a riveting new persona in the psychological drama 'Knock Knock Kaun Hai?.' Aadhya Anand, born in Coorg, India, and raised in Singapore, is an Indian actress, model, and dancer whose career spans both film and digital platforms. She made her on‐screen debut at just nine years old in the Singaporean feature 'A Yellow Bird,' which premiered at the International Critics' Week during the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. That same year, she appeared in the social drama 'Utter 2016: One Hour to Daylight', set against the backdrop of Singapore's cultural tensions. In March 2021, Aadhya broke into the streaming world as Shai Irani—the youngest of the five 'begums'—in Netflix's original series 'Bombay Begums,' a contemporary drama that explores desire, ethics, and ambition across generations of women.

Civil Construction Industry Welcomes Provincial Commitment to Standardize Municipal Construction Practices
TORONTO, May 13, 2025 /CNW/ - The civil infrastructure construction associations welcomed the Ontario government's announcement that consultations will be launched with municipalities and industry to harmonize road building standards as part of the recently introduced Bill 17, Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025. Ontario's municipalities own and manage more public infrastructure than the federal and provincial governments combined, with, on average, more than 50 per cent of their budgets allocated to construction and infrastructure. While provincial standards exist, Ontario's 444 municipalities have discretion in their implementation and have instead amassed hundreds of varying requirements for how to build and procure similar use projects, like roads, bridges, sewers and watermains. These differences cost taxpayers millions of dollars more, while reducing quality and productivity and increasing waste and carbon emissions. The Toronto and Area Road Builders Association (TARBA), Greater Toronto Sewer and Watermain Contractors Association (GTSWCA), and the Heavy Construction Association of Toronto (HCAT) have advocated that following provincial standards, jointly administered by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the Municipal Engineers Association, will result in reduced building costs and faster construction timelines through efficiencies and economies of scale. "This announcement builds on the government's ongoing commitment to reduce red tape and build the critical infrastructure our communities need. We look forward to working with the provincial government and the ministry as part of the consultation process," said Raly Chakarova, Executive Director at TARBA. "Breaking down barriers by harmonizing practices across municipal boundaries is a real solution that will bring in faster construction timelines and create significant cost savings for taxpayers, particularly through initiatives such as the standardized and increased use of Recycled Crushed Aggregates." "This is a pivotal moment for infrastructure development in Ontario," said Patrick McManus, Executive Director of the GTSWCA. "By standardizing construction specifications and contracts, we can reign in rising construction costs and lay the groundwork for sustainable growth and cost-effective infrastructure solutions, without fundamentally altering how we design, build, finance, or maintain our critical core infrastructure in the region." "This is the time for the provincial and federal governments to step in and ensure that municipalities have predictable and continuous infrastructure funding to get projects out the door, shovels in the ground, and keep everyone employed," said Peter Smith, Executive Director at HCAT. "But municipalities need to drop their own barriers. There is no reason that a different asphalt type or watermain fitting needs to be used simply because a project crosses over Steeles Ave." About GTSWCA The Greater Toronto Sewer and Watermain Contractors Association (GTSWCA) serves as a collective voice for its members who build water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure across the Greater Toronto Area. About HCAT The Heavy Construction Association of Toronto (HCAT) represents contractors in the heavy civil engineering construction sector, including bridge construction and rehabilitation, tunnels, marine construction, and structure foundations. HCAT advocates for best practices in infrastructure development while addressing industry challenges, providing educational opportunities, and promoting safety and sustainability. About TARBA The Toronto and Area Road Builders Association (TARBA) is the collective bargaining agent on behalf of unionized contractors involved in the new construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure in the Greater Toronto and Simcoe Areas. TARBA advocates for policies and practices that promote safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure development.
