Nestled in the seaside hills of San José del Cabo, a resort town dotted with Spanish Colonial Missions on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, a temple to tequila is putting stakes in the ground. Guests can choose their own culinary adventure at Clase Azul La Terraza, from an intimate omakase bar and secretive five-course chef’s tasting menu to artful cocktails and coastal Mexican fare at the casual-chic El Bar and La Terraza restaurant.

Renowned for its hand-painted porcelain tequila bottles, Clase Azul Mexico is bringing its same eye for detail to a new hospitality experience. La Terraza is an expression of the craftsmanship and quality that has become one of its most celebrated attributes, starting with interior design that nods to Clase Azul’s origins. Founded 26 years ago by Arturo Lomeli as one of the market’s first sipping tequilas, the whole lineup is best enjoyed neat to savor the one-of-a-kind accords coloring each specially aged tequila and mezcal created by master distiller Viridiana Tinoco. Five core tequilas and two mezcals make up the distiller’s permanent rotation, and its limited-edition releases often become collectors’ items as soon as they drop.

El Bar’s Azul Bahia marble evokes the nearby ocean and the azure hues of Clase Azul’s famed decanters. The same master artisans who sculpt, paint, and glaze each piece in the company’s Tradición Mazahua ceramic studio contributed their expertise to the glazed terracotta and porcelain tiles adorning the interior. Walls are made of Chukum—a building material made of earth, tree sap, and minerals, created using techniques that date back to the Mayan empire.

For his 10th anniversary collection, Craig Green enlisted an unlikely prop in his meditation on human connection: wrestling dummies. These pillowy human proxies cling to models decked out in a Fall/Winter collection that’s bypassing fashion week and quickly goes from classic to conceptual. Head-to-toe denim yields to tent-like outerwear and ankle-grazing, obscuring knitted hats. “[They] almost feel like a way to interact with someone again—to learn what a leg or foot feels like,” he says. “There’s something beautiful about them.”

Having studied metalsmithing at the Cleveland Institute of Art and apprenticed under sculptors and jewelers, Christopher Gentner followed his passion for metal fabrication until his namesake studio became one of the design industry’s premier manufacturers of high-end furniture and architectural metalwork. From his Chicago studio, housed in a former screw factory, he crafts one-offs that transcend materiality and let his talents truly shine. The latest is a trio of pewter-finished steel furnishings inflected with postmodern flair available through Kelly Wearstler’s online gallery.

Through 70 inflatable objects made of elastic fabrics and inflatable balls, Fàbregas forges a tactile and sensory experience, blurring the boundaries between human and non-human worlds and exploring new emotional connections and ways of perceiving space.

Adidas has received orders worth more than $565 million for 4 million pairs of unsold Yeezy shoes, surpassing their most optimistic predictions. The strong demand for the initial online sales is expected to prevent a major writedown on the remaining stock, potentially saving Adidas from significant losses. Despite concerns that controversies surrounding Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks and reduced marketing efforts might negatively impact the Yeezy brand, the robust demand for the unsold sneakers has allayed fears at headquarters. The company announced in May that some proceeds from the sales would be donated to organizations fighting antisemitism and racism.
