One of sport’s biggest stars on and off the field, Travis Kelce steps into Tommy Hilfiger’s world of Classic American Cool — in a series of campaigns, collaborations and events spanning F.A.M.E.S (Fashion, Art, Music, Entertainment and Sport).

The multi-season partnership will showcase co-designed menswear and accessories refreshing “Prep Made Current” through Travis Kelce’s vibrant lens.

Tommy Hilfiger, which is part of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], announces Travis Kelce — three-time Super Bowl champion and defining voice of his generation — as Global Brand Ambassador and creative collaborator. Inspired by its 40 years of collaborating with trailblazing figures across pop culture, Tommy Hilfiger is partnering with one of the most recognizable names in the international spotlight.

Known for his bold personal style, Kelce is invited to bring his confidence, individuality and charisma to Tommy Hilfiger’s life of style — as part of a series of campaigns shaped by relentless optimism, endless curiosity and a belief in dreaming big. The partnership begins in Fall 2026, as the athletic icon enters Tommy Hilfiger’s New York — a setting of timeless glamour, easy sophistication and where surprise encounters are never more than a block away. The story will continue into the Spring 2027 campaign, and a design collaboration that reimagines elevated Tommy icons.

“Travis Kelce is one of the most magnetic figures in sport and culture today,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “He is at the forefront of a new generation of athletes expressing themselves through style, with a down-to-earth quality that people immediately connect with. I’m excited to see how he brings his fearless, fun-loving and bold take on Prep Made Current to fans around the world.”

One of the most visible personalities of today, Kelce moves naturally between stadium, screen and style. A tunnel-walk pioneer, his game-day arrivals are covered like red-carpet moments, turning each entrance into a showcase for his bold, personal point of view. Across primetime television and Hollywood, his humor and natural stage presence have made him a headline-making crossover figure with influence beyond the field. He seamlessly transitions from the locker room to the boardroom, with a dynamic and growing business portfolio and a significant media career spanning producing and hosting, including co-creating the New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce. All the while, he continues to be one of the best to ever do it at his day job throughout his legendary 14-year NFL career.

“I’ve long admired TOMMY HILFIGER as an iconic American brand,” said Travis Kelce. “Ever since high school, when I used to ask my mom to buy Sailing Gear jackets, I’ve been drawn towards the brand’s confident style and over the years have respected its ability to be classic and consistent while still evolving. Getting to work with Tommy and put my own twist on timeless pieces, in a way that feels original for today, is a dream come true.”

Kelce joins a legacy of contemporary icons who have contributed to shaping Tommy Hilfiger’s vision across cultural worlds. Building on past collaborations with names including Rafael Nadal, Gigi Hadid, Lewis Hamilton, Zendaya, and Damson Idris, Kelce marks the next chapter in that legacy. The partnership reflects Tommy Hilfiger’s focus on working and co-creating with the artists, innovators and tastemakers shaping the world today.

Friends and followers of the brand are invited to join the conversation on social media using #TommyHilfiger and @TommyHilfiger, while following @KillaTrav on Instagram and @TravisKelce on TikTok.

#PeachyinSpace GoPro Cameras Onboard Historic Artemis II Mission to the Moon

GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced that GoPro cameras are being used onboard the Artemis II mission, capturing imagery as the Orion spacecraft travels around the Moon and back.

GoPro cameras are being used onboard the Artemis II mission, capturing imagery as the Orion spacecraft travels around the Moon and back.

Modified GoPro cameras are mounted externally on the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings, where they will capture stunning views of the spacecraft, Earth, and the Moon. These GoPro cameras are included in the Orion Imagery System and a broader 28+ camera suite supporting the mission.

And according to National Geographic, the four‑astronaut Artemis II crew is equipped with GoPro cameras to document daily life on the mission from inside the spacecraft, helping tell the human story of this historic flight.

"GoPros are designed to capture amazing perspectives in the most extreme conditions imaginable…and it doesn't get much more extreme than going to the Moon and back.

Notre Dame Announces Zero Tuition for Families Earning Under $150k

For many students, attending a top-ranked university can feel out of reach long before the application is submitted. Rising tuition costs—and the perception that elite institutions are financially inaccessible—continue to deter talented students, particularly those from lower- and middle-income families.

The University of Notre Dame is working to change that.

What’s Changing

Beginning with the 2026–27 academic year, Notre Dame will ensure that families with annual incomes under $150,000 pay zero tuition. The announcement marks a significant expansion of the University’s commitment to need-based financial aid and builds on its broader Pathways to Notre Dame initiative, which is designed to increase access, affordability and support for students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Why it matters for students

For students navigating the college search, the impact is both immediate and personal. A student from a household earning under $150,000—above the national median income—can now consider Notre Dame without the same financial tradeoffs that often narrow their options. The policy is intended not only to remove cost as a barrier, but also to reshape who sees themselves as belonging at a highly selective institution.

The change reflects a growing emphasis across higher education on access and affordability. At Notre Dame, it is also mission-driven: an effort to build bridges—between income levels, communities, and lived experiences—by bringing more students together in a shared environment of learning and formation.

“In order to be the community of learning we are called to be, cost must never be a barrier,” University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., said. “By expanding the Pathways to Notre Dame program, we continue to make a Notre Dame education more affordable. We are committed to welcoming talented young people from a variety of backgrounds and helping them develop their gifts.”

A lasting impact

Expanding access not only strengthens the campus community but also creates long-term societal impact, as graduates carry their education into careers and communities around the world.

For prospective students, the message is clear: cost should not be the reason to rule out applying.

As details continue to emerge, the initiative is already signaling a meaningful shift—one that redefines affordability at one of the nation’s leading universities and opens the door to students who may not have seen Notre Dame as possible before.

#AdvantageousAuctions #ChampagneWishes Acker Makes History with Sale of World’s Most Expensive Bottle of Wine Ever Sold at Auction

Acker, the world’s largest fine wine auction house and America’s oldest wine merchant, set a new world record in fine wine when a single 750 ml bottle of 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti—originally sourced from the personal cellar of Robert Drouhin—sold for $812,500 at Acker’s La Paulée auction this past weekend. The sale surpasses the previous world record of $558,000 set in 2018, cementing the 1945 vintage as the most coveted bottle in the history of wine collecting.

Acker’s annual La Paulée Auction, livestreamed in New York City at Marea, was held in conjunction with the world’s greatest Burgundy celebration. The event delivered a historic three-day performance March 26–28, surpassing $25 million in total sales and setting an extraordinary 460 new world records.

The 1945 Romanée-Conti represents the final vintage produced before Domaine de la Romanée-Conti replanted its oldest vines—grapes that had survived phylloxera, two World Wars and nearly a century of Burgundy history. With production extremely limited, surviving bottles have long been considered the pinnacle of wine collecting, with many connoisseurs believing the pre-phylloxera vines add an unmatched depth and complexity to the wine.

“We made history this weekend,” said John Kapon, Chairman of Acker. “I’ve had the privilege of tasting the 1945 Romanée-Conti just three times in my life, and it is the greatest wine I’ve ever tasted. This remarkable sale was just one of hundreds of record-breaking achievements at an auction that highlighted the accelerating demand for trophy wines at the highest end of the fine wine market. This weekend’s event exemplified the soul and spirit of Burgundy, bringing together the world’s top producers and collectors and creating the perfect conditions for a truly historic result.”

The 1945 Romanée-Conti has consistently commanded record-breaking prices at auction, driven by its extraordinary provenance, mythic scarcity and status as the last expression of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti prior to the replanting of vines. The provenance of this particular bottle—drawn directly from the cellar of Robert Drouhin, one of the most revered names in Burgundy—added an additional layer of significance for bidders and collectors worldwide.

The blistering La Paulée auction set 460 new world records in total, led by Domaine Dujac with 27, followed by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with 23. Other domaines in high demand included Leflaive (20 new world records), Coche-Dury (19), Duroché (19), Ramonet (16) and Alex Moreau and Bouchard (15 each).

Acker’s 2026 auction season continues with a sale in Hong Kong on April 11, a special Single Cellar auction in the US on April 17, and May sales in Switzerland, Singapore and the US. Consignments are now being accepted for May and June, and weekly web auction deadlines remain every Friday. For more information, please email info@ackerwines.com.

About Acker

Founded in 1820, Acker is America’s oldest wine merchant and the largest fine and rare wine auction house globally. Now in its third century, the company serves collectors worldwide through a full suite of fine wine services, including retail sourcing and auctions, as well as cellar management, storage, and appraisals, investment advisory, bespoke events and tastings, and wine excursions. With a global platform spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia, Acker brings these capabilities together as The World’s Destination for Fine & Rare Wine™. Acker’s annual La Paulée auction remains one of the most celebrated events on the fine wine calendar.

A machine that demands attention—and refuses to be ignored.

Blasting from 0–62 mph in just 4 seconds with a top speed of 181 mph, it delivers razor-sharp handling and a connection to the road that’s nothing short of thrilling. This is driving, perfected—and you need to see it up close.

Porsche Cayenne Electric

The future of Porsche performance is here—and it’s electric. The Cayenne EV pairs instant acceleration with everyday versatility in one striking SUV. With up to 1,140 horsepower in Turbo variants, it delivers breathtaking speed with cutting-edge innovation. This is electrified performance without compromise.

Karma Amaris

Sleek. Modern. Electrifying. The Karma Amaris is a luxury grand touring coupe delivering 708 horsepower and a 0–60 mph time under 3.5 seconds. With over 400 miles of range and instant, seamless power, it blends performance and sophistication effortlessly. A bold glimpse into the future—and it’s absolutely spectacular.

Lamborghini Revuelto

This is Lamborghini unleashed. A screaming V12 fused with electrified power delivers over 1,000 horsepower of pure adrenaline. It’s beyond fast, wildly exhilarating, and engineered to shock the senses at every turn. One of the most incredible machines on the planet—and a must-see.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

SUV luxury has never looked—or felt—this powerful. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is bold, commanding, and effortlessly spectacular from every angle.

#InauguralReview #TheOriginalVincents Since 1904 #Italian by the late great #VincentGeneroso Now by his daughter #MargaretAnnGeneroso brother #MichaelGeneroso and his nephew #MichaelGeneroso #119MottStreet #LittleItaly #Manhattan

Unbeatable Lobster Ravioli!  

The best we have had anywhere so far in 2026.

The Seafood Salad was an absolute triumph!

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and now we know The Original Vincent's!  We were delighted to work with Michael Generoso (the third), who owns it along with his cousin, Margaret Ann Generoso and his dad, Michael Generoso (the second), who are all following in the legendary footsteps of the late Vincent Generoso, Margaret Ann's dear old dad.  (DADS are obviously the very best.)

We asked Grok about Vincent Generoso and Grok said:

Vincent Generoso (often referred to as Vincent M. Generoso or simply the owner of Vincent's) is the longtime co-proprietor and co-owner of the Original Vincent's restaurant (also known as Vincent's Clam Bar or Vincent's Little Italy) at 119 Mott Street in Manhattan's Little Italy neighborhood.The restaurant, a historic Little Italy institution established in 1904 (originally as a pushcart clam bar by Giuseppe and Carmela Siano in 1894, then indoors with their son Vincent Siano, after whom it was named), specializes in Italian seafood, pasta with their famous "Secret Old World" red sauce (sweet, medium, or hot), and classic dishes. Vincent Generoso is related to the founding Siano family—his grandfather Jimmy Generoso was a cousin of the Sianos, making the Sianos his granduncle(s) in family terms. He and his brother Michael (sometimes spelled Michele) are grandsons of Jimmy and took over/co-operated the business around the 1970s–1980s (Vincent has noted he assumed the building in 1976). As of the early 2000s and into the 2020s, the restaurant remains family-run under Vincent (with mentions of Michael and Michael Jr. involved historically), and public records and permits continue to list him in connection with the property and operations. He has been a prominent figure in the Little Italy community, serving as second vice president of the Little Italy Chamber of Commerce (and involved with the Little Italy Merchants Association/LIMA). Born around 1940 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, he was quoted in local coverage celebrating the restaurant's 100th anniversary in 2004 and defending the neighborhood's culinary heritage.He is the father of Margaret Ann Generoso, one of his three daughters (with wife Margaret; two of the daughters were noted as teachers in 2004 coverage). Public property records directly link Margaret Ann Generoso to Vincent Generoso and the 119 Mott Street restaurant address (e.g., as co-parties on deeds or related filings), confirming her connection to the family business/property. She is "of the Original Vincent's Little Italy" in that sense, as part of the owning/generational family tied to the iconic spot.Vincent Generoso remains the key modern face of the restaurant in historical accounts, preserving its century-plus legacy amid Little Italy's changes. (Note: This is distinct from unrelated individuals with the same name who passed in other parts of New York.) The spot is still operating as a classic, old-school Italian eatery in the neighborhood.

Oh we love history!  For so many years people have asked Peachy what on earth would one do with a B.A. in American History from BC.  Her answer it turns out is to eat with it, sometimes!

Michael (the third) started working here in 1994 and he takes immense pride in the family vocation, and once you taste your dinner, it will be elucidated entirely to you!

There are 121 coveted seats at 119 Mott Street, just off of Mulberry in Manhattan's Little Italy and this classic institution really impressed us on our first visit.

We were thrilled to see our favorite on the wall.

We began with the Caesar Salad, and we ordered it with Grilled Chicken, which was done perfectly and cut well too.  They make their own fresh Caesar dressing and Ms. I Hardly Like Anyone's Dressing Anywhere really adored this incarnation of Caesar Salad dressing as well as the fresh salad itself.  Lesser venues have inferior croutons but even the croutons here boast a satisfying crunch and standout flavor.  Vincent's Famous Original Specialties encompass quite a lot of shrimp, and we opted for the steamed version that comes in the number of Gordie Howe (9 of course) for health reasons and also to see the intrinsic quality of the fresh seafood.  Seafood here is delivered three times a week and you will see in every bite that the freshness that is celebrated here makes a true difference.  This venue is known for their sauces: sweet, medium and hot.  Peachy started with baby steps in general with the sweet, but here, you can see she tried all three and they are all winners in their own right.  It just depends on your personal preferences.  We have lots of sauce ambitions here because indeed it is quite distinguished in quality flavor.

Note we never edit pictures. 
You excel like the Generoso family, or we do not publish.

One of the best elements of this entire review, and there were no weak dishes, was without a doubt the Seafood Salad.  Some places put seafood with other ingredients but here, its level of purity and quality is truly optimal.  A perfect array of calamari, scungilli (conch) and shrimp team up in fresh fashion to wow you with cocktail sauce, just as good of a sauce as the three versions of tomato sauce.  This could be a meal in itself with superb protein and for everyone that is following the protein trend, allow us to remind you that the classics beat trends always because here since 1904 it seems like protein has been celebrated.

Obviously, Italian places should hit the nail on the head with building blocks such as linguine with meatballs, and this arrives in style with two thoughtfully-crafted carnivorous wonders of equal parts beef, veal and pork (one-third each.)  The linguine was al dente just as we wanted and of course like many things in life, was made even better with cheese.

We are fans of vegetables generally speaking, so opted for the steamed broccoli with garlic and oil. It was perfection in every crunchy bite and outshines its competition in its robust flavor and color, probably evocative of a high level of nutrition (Peachy makes no medical claims.)

The richness of the Homemade Meat Lasagna crafted with their signature red sweet sauce is layer after layer of deliciousness in every bite.  We were wowed by its culinary prowess.

We take Chicken Parm seriously, and when we said "enchante" to this edition, it flashed us its most fabulous saucy smile!  Arriving in style with al dente linguine, the Chicken Parm was a celebration of the amazing sauce here plus the perfectly pounded chicken and the ideally creamy mozzarella which made our day.  However, the superstar of the entire review was without a doubt the Lobster Ravioli with vodka sauce, which we virtually crown the winner of the mountain on Peachy's palate this inaugural visit.  Five of them line up at attention dressed to the nines in vodka sauce and you see when you cut into it that there is substantial quality lobster ready to greet you, appropriately hiding inside.

There are two seafood specialties: one is the Broiled Salmon filet which weighs in at eight ounces and was medium: exactly as we had ordered it.  The aforementioned broccoli joins it with laudable potatoes culminating in a terrifically solid entree performance.  We also happen to agree on both the music choices and the volume which is not too loud and ambient. 

We were impressed and we can't wait to see what The Original Vincent's does next!

OUR ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY...

Following the Historic turn of the century, ending the Illustrious Gay 90's, Giuseppe and Carmela Siano established the now World Famous Vincent's Clam Bar, in 1904, named after their son. The sidewalk clam bar was located at the corner of Mott and Hester street in Little Italy, New York City, Where it still flourishes today, serving succulent varieties of Italian Seafood. It is the original home of Vincent's Sauce.

THE SAUCE

It was also in 1904 that Carmala Siano introduced her secret old world recipe for the internationally celebrated Vincent's Sauce. Many have tried to imitate her secret ingredients and processing unsuccessfully!

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED

Original Vincent's is proud to have preserved the secret of the ancient recipe and to be able to serve you for your enjoyment!

Thousands Gather Around a Public Piano in Barcelona as 1000Pianos Celebrates Two Years

The Plaça Catalunya event marks a two-year milestone for 1000Pianos, promoting music, community, and neurodiversity with a focus on ADHD.

On March 21 at Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona, thousands of people took part throughout the evening to celebrate the two-year anniversary of a public piano installed in the heart of the city, marking the beginning of spring with a spontaneous, open community event centered around music, creativity, and human connection, including live music performances.

Throughout the evening, the square transformed into a vibrant, living space where passersby stopped to play, sing, and connect around the piano. The event highlighted the growing role of public music installations in creating accessible cultural experiences in urban environments.

The piano is part of the global 1000Pianos initiative, founded by David (Shlomi) Grandes, with a mission to make music freely accessible in public spaces. The project places specially designed outdoor pianos in cities around the world, allowing anyone to stop and play without barriers, with multiple installations already active in different countries.

Beyond music, the initiative carries a deeper purpose. Grandes, who was diagnosed with ADHD after years of personal struggle, has made neurodiversity awareness a central part of the project’s vision. “For many people, especially those with ADHD, moments like these are not a luxury, they are essential,” said Grandes. “Creating open spaces where people can express themselves freely, without pressure or judgment, is at the heart of what we’re building.”

Over the past two years, the 1000Pianos installation in Barcelona has become a central meeting point, fostering spontaneous performances and human connection, supported by ongoing local collaborations with Jordi Vivancos and Maria Canal to promote public music culture in the city.

1000Pianos is supported by NVOX, which focuses on advancing awareness and access around neurodiversity, with a particular emphasis on ADHD and inclusive experiences. As part of its continued growth, 1000Pianos is preparing to expand its presence to additional cities, including planned installations in the United States.

The event reflects a broader global movement toward accessible public art and inclusive community spaces. As awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity continues to grow, initiatives like 1000Pianos highlight the importance of creating environments where creativity, expression, and human connection are open to everyone.
