When it comes to fashion, everybody loves talking about those classic, timeless, and essential pieces. They fit everyone well, they are comfortable and safe, and are also good investments. Of course, it is good to know how to build a nice wardrobe, how to wear our garments; but beyond this, being in timeless in terms of fashion is a fascinating phenomenon that deserves to be discussed in greater depth.

7 Tips For Buying Sneakers You just bought an awesome pair of sneakers, thinking you got a good price then realized your friend got an even better deal. You won’t be over-spending again with these 7 tips.

Sneakers have become design icons in their own right. Adidas, Puma and Nike each have their own stores across the world, and crank out models convincing fashion-victim could easily shake credit cards at. Adidas recently teamed with iconic fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto to create Y-3, a new line of dress-up sneakers. Stella McCartney also has her own Adidas line.

Tip 1: Timing Is Everything Many retailers automatically increase prices during popular shopping times and times of higher demand. Prices tend to be higher especially around noon and in the evening. Prices will almost always go up on the weekend and, of course, before festive seasons such as Christmas. It’s worth it to keep an eye on pricing so you buy when the time is right!

Tip 2: Remain Unseen Many retailers use cookies and track IP addresses to follow your behavior. Some even increase the price on products that you look at more often. They do this to pressure customers into buying before there’s another price increase. In this case, you should set your browser to private mode while shopping. It doesn’t matter if you love Under Armour more than any other sneaker brand in the world – it might not offer the right shoe for your foot, your fit, or your style. When shopping for sneakers, commit to trying on several different brands. You might be surprised to learn that the shoe that fits you best is actually from a brand you’ve never tried before.

Tip 3: Subscribe To Newsletters Merchants often entice new subscribers with generous discounts. Just subscribe to the newsletter and you’ll receive a discount voucher. You can always unsubscribe, so you can save money easily with just a few clicks! Savvy savers even use multiple email addresses to cash in on more discounts.

Tip 4: Student Discounts Often students get great discounts when they buy online. Just register with your university’s e-mail address and get proven discounts of up to 30% when you shop.

Tip 5: Be Sure To Buy The Right Shoe Size The most expensive sneakers are the ones you bought and aren’t wearing! Studies suggest that up to 17% of all shoes purchased are only worn a few times because they simply do not fit. This is especially true if you buy shoes online; you can’t try them on. Sizes vary a lot from brand to brand, so be sure you convert the length of your foot into the correct size. Feet grow and change over time, and factors like weight gain or weight loss, pregnancy, and lowerbody injury can all contribute to changes in foot size.

Tip 6: Voucher codes No matter how long it takes, just know you can get whatever you want if you hold your cash until the voucher codes through, because a hot, highly coveted shoe to you will most likely remain that way for awhile. Another cool thing about waiting is that it all but eliminates falling victim to hype and suffering buyer’s remorse. Voucher codes are a perfect way to save a few bucks. Just search online for the respective store or brand’s voucher codes, then enter the code during checkout.

TIMELESS ART FEATURING MARCEL KATZ

As the name suggests, he’s most certainly plugged into the scene and brings in his artists into his world too (he’s also digitally plugged in, having over a million followers across his various networks). Tenacious with good taste, his entrepreneurial too, a force to be reckoned with on the modern art landscape. Under The Art Plug umbrella and alongside the fine arts publisher Monsieur Marcel, Marcel Katz Art helps to form a conglomerate of interconnected artbased companies. All three entities provide a range of services and experiences related to the art-industry, all with a personalized touch so he has you well as truly covered.

arcel Katz who also goes by The Art Plug and Monsieur Marcel is really challenging the way we think and trade contemporary art. Not only is he the youngest person to have dealt a Salvador Dali at 30 only years old (wow), but he’s also the founder of Marcel Katz Art, a dealership and online gallery based in Miami with offices in Los Angeles and Nagoya, Japan. Offering over 70 artists - both established and emerging artists, his roster includes the likes of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Mr. Brainwash and Jeff Koons to new talents such as CB Hoyo and Paul Fauves. And it’s not just paintings, he trades in all mediums from sculptures and photography to limited edition prints.

We interviewed Marcel about his journey through the art world, love for the industry, his inspirations, and the first few artists that he signed onto his roster of creatives around the world.

How did you first get into the art world? I have been surrounded by art my entire life with artistic friends and family. I wasn’t ever naturally artistically inclined in the traditional sense but always had a keen eye for good art and the ability to discover and connect those who had talent. My career in art started in my previous work in the nightlife industry. I started off working in the nightlife world here in Miami shortly after graduating college. I started off as a promoter and worked my way up to the Creative Director position at Opium Group, a popular hospitality group based in Miami. To distinguish ourselves from other clubs on South Beach, I began collaborating with some artists on developing art installations and experiential programming at our venues for guests to enjoy. Through these collaborations, I began developing relationships and friendships with artists, collecting some of their works. Little by little, I transitioned out of nightlife and began creating The Art Plug brand. Over time, I realized nightlife wasn’t creatively sustainable for me and sought a new direction in the art world. The art business was a foreign world to me, but I hustled and figured it out as I went. I fell in love with the business and slowly built a respectable collection. When I wanted to start to sell some of the work, I decided to start Marcel Katz Art, an art dealership. Over the last few years, I’ve since created The Art Plug Agency, where I represent a large roster of artists and coordinate various projects; Monsieur Marcel, a lifestyle

brand/publishing company I use to create collaborations with artists; and, The Art Plug Powerhouse, my own art fair. I’ve gained a lot of momentum over the last few years that’s gotten me to where I am now. I’ve gotten access to artists from all over the globe. I notably became the youngest Salvador Dali dealer in the world at the age of 30. And I’ve added dozens of artists to my agency that I represent for commercial work, exhibitions, and other events. What is it about the industry that you love so much? The art industry is incredible, unlike anything else. What I love the most is the sense of unlimited possibilities — anything can be interpreted as art, it comes in every shape, size, form, medium. There is nothing that can’t be done. Art can be applicable to any field — in any given day, I can discuss designing the interior of homes and other buildings to creating innovative experiences in transportation or live performances. There is a mentality that “anything goes” that I am attracted to. Although there are perhaps certain standards in niches of the industry, in general, there are no rules when it comes to creating art. Working in creative spaces has also allowed me to

interact with people who think differently, outside the box. Overall, the art industry breathes and creates a sense of freedom that I love. Day to day, I feel like the whole world is my canvas — I can do and create anything I want. That’s a powerful feeling that I want to feel every day. Which was the first artist you signed? The first few that I remember working with are CB Hoyo, a brilliant painter; Rhymezlikedimez, a super talented animator & illustrator from Belgium; and, Aholsniffsglue, a popular Miami graffiti artist.

“I want to be part of history. I want my kids to read about me in history books. I’m chasing achievements, not money. I want to break out of the system. I want to create my own reality. I’m inspired by the freedom to do whatever I want. The freedom to be able to think of anything and turn it into a reality is very inspiring.” - Marcel
