DKNY Advertises In Yankee Stadium

Since the DKNY billboard was dismantled in SoHo, the iconic logo featuring the NY skyline seemed to have been looking for a new homebase—and to the chagrin of fashion people everywhere, home appears to be homeplate. DKNY has inked a sponsorship deal with the New York Yankees and is planning on plastering their brand around Yankee Stadium. Now, all five fashion people who attend baseball games will get the chance to take in the suited splendor in the form of a bullpen billboard, a DKNY-branded Dugout Lounge, and special DKNY footage. But if this is the chance to persuade the stadium set to pick up a 2-piece suit instead of a t-shirt and cutoffs every once in a while, we say "Play Ball!" (WWD)

NYC Scout

I recently came across a film scout locator blog in NYC. As the blogger points out, New Yorkers usually rush past many great sites and treasures in the city. So, this scout has documented these places for all of us to see, and compiled interesting articles to read, in a New York minute, of course. ;)
