"Signature Style highlights what Neiman Marcus does best, showcasing our luxury offerings in a way that our customers can make them uniquely their own," said Cheryl Han, Chief Marketing & Digital Officer, Exemplar Luxury Group. "By bringing together our exceptional brand partners and expertly curated assortment, this campaign underscores the value of the Neiman Marcus experience by creating meaningful opportunities to engage our customers across every touchpoint."

Captured on location in Los Angeles by photographer Judy Pak, the Signature Style campaign stars poet Cleo Wade, stylist Jessica de Ruiter, and movement director Stephen Galloway. Set inside their private residences, the feature highlights how each tastemaker's personal aesthetic effortlessly spans both their wardrobe and their living space. By pairing these distinct lifestyles with Neiman Marcus's essential pieces for fall, the campaign creates a warm, authentic connection between lived-in home elegance and refined retail, redefining luxury as something deeply personal.

"At the heart of this campaign is the idea that style is an expression of each customer's unique identity," said Elle Strauss, SVP, Creative, Exemplar Luxury Group. "By capturing Cleo, Jessica and Stephen in their own homes, we're able to create portraits that reveal how their individual perspectives extend beyond what they wear. Merging this genuine expression with Neiman Marcus' signature visual identity results in a campaign that feels simultaneously refined and intimately personal."

The campaign showcases Neiman Marcus as the premier destination for personalized style discovery, where expert curation helps individuals refresh their wardrobe in ways that feel authentic, current, and aligned with how they live. Expanding on this narrative, the campaign launch includes a dedicated film starring artist Lily Kwong focused on the retailer's personal styling service. Captured inside the Beverly Hills store, the video follows Kwong through an in-store styling appointment as she tries on looks tailored to her distinct lifestyle discovering a seamless, collaborative approach to personal style.

The campaign is now live across digital channels, social media, and visual displays throughout the season. In stores, customers can experience windows showcasing highlighted seasonal looks, with select locations featuring exclusive client activations—including an event hosted by Cleo in Los Angeles, alongside intimate gatherings led by local community tastemakers across key markets.

#LaughwithPeachy #PeachyAhoy @thejohnfkennedysiferry @ColinJost @petedavidsonSNL @Snapple @KeurigDrPepper SNAPPLE TURNS PETE DAVIDSON AND COLIN JOST'S FAMOUS FERRY INTO NEW YORK CITY'S MOST UNEXPECTED COMEDY CLUB


For one day only, the Snapple Island Ferry will transform a familiar commuter vessel into a free, floating comedy club for New Yorkers who just need a break

On Sept. 17, Snapple will turn Pete Davidson and Colin Jost's famously random John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry purchase into the Snapple Island Ferry, a one-day-only, free comedy club built to give New Yorkers an unexpectedly refreshing break from the daily grind.
Snapple Turns Pete Davidson and Colin Jost's Famous Ferry Into New York City's Most Unexpected Comedy Club



As New Yorkers trade summer Fridays for packed fall calendars, Snapple is providing a space to escape their responsibilities and enjoy a break. Hosted by Pete & Colin and produced by The Stand Group, a partner in the ferry and the team behind The Stand Restaurant & Comedy Club, the show will feature sets from some of comedy's fastest rising stars, transforming a familiar commuter vessel into the city's most unexpected place to laugh, sip, and take a break.



"Turning the ferry into a floating comedy club with Snapple makes more sense than anything else we considered, and it still doesn't make much sense," said Pete Davidson. "Either way, we're giving people a chance to take a break, have a laugh, and do something completely ridiculous with us."

Snapple Makes an Ordinary Commuter Ferry Refreshing
What started as one of pop culture's most talked-about celebrity purchases is becoming New York City's most unexpected comedy venue. Because if Pete and Colin can buy a ferry on a whim, Snapple figured the least it could do was make a familiar ferry feel anything but ordinary by turning it into a floating comedy club. A limited number of free tickets will be available for the 60-minute show hosted by Pete and Colin and featuring sets from some of comedy's fastest rising stars.

"The Snapple Island Ferry is a simple idea with a big payoff: take what people already love about Snapple's personality and bring it to life in the real world," said Brad Smith, Vice President Marketing, Stills & Hydration Portfolio, Keurig Dr Pepper. "The brand has always had a refreshingly funny take on the everyday, and comedy gives us a clear way to bring that to life — by giving people a timely, entertaining break from the things they feel like they should be doing."

Event Details
Free tickets will drop daily at 3pm ET from Sept. 3-8. Fans can claim a pair of free tickets for themselves and a guest at register.snappleislandferry.com. Limit one pair per person.

Event day details include:Date: Sept. 17, 2026
Time: Doors open at 7pm ET and show begins at 8:30pm ET
Location: Pier 17, 89 South St, New York, NY 10038

Can't make it aboard? Snapple will bring the break beyond the ferry and to the feed, sharing clips and content from the event across social channels so fans everywhere can experience the fun, FOMO and ferry-fueled chaos from afar. Follow @Snapple on Instagram and TikTok to stay in the know.

Prime Video and the National Hockey League (NHL) today announced a multi-year agreement establishing Prime Video as an exclusive local streaming home for six NHL teams, beginning with the upcoming 2026-27 season. The deal adds to local NHL coverage already available on Prime Video.

The defending Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues will all be available on Prime Video for fans within each team's regional territory. The offerings provide in-market fans with an exclusive option to enjoy streams of regular-season games, inclusive of pre- and post-game shows, and additional team programming. Each Club will announce specific details of the streaming packages and subscription options in their respective territory.

“We’re excited to build upon our strong relationship with the NHL and provide fans with more ways to connect with the local teams they love,” said Charlie Neiman, Head of Sports Partnerships, Prime Video. “We have firmly established Prime Video as a primary destination for sports and look forward to helping these teams broaden the reach and accessibility of their live games.”

#FloridaPeachy #CruisingPeachy HARD ROCK® TAKES THE LEAD AS NEW TITLE PARTNER OF FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX, UNITING TWO GLOBALLY RENOWNED BRANDS

South Florida Motorsports (SFM) and Hard Rock International announced today a new multi-year naming rights agreement for the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX, uniting two globally-recognized brands. After becoming a Founding Partner at the inaugural race in 2022, Hard Rock is further strengthening its commitment to one of the world's most iconic events, where sports, entertainment, business and culture come together on an international stage.

Since 2016, Hard Rock, the iconic hospitality and entertainment brand, has held the naming rights to Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins and the centerpiece of the Miami International Autodrome. The venue features the Team Village, expanded paddock and one of the most distinctive fan atmospheres in Formula 1. This new agreement builds on Hard Rock's long-term commitment to the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX, which is contracted to remain on the Formula 1 calendar through 2041.

"Hard Rock has been part of Miami's Formula 1 story from the very beginning, and we are incredibly proud to welcome them as the new title partner of the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX," said Katharina Nowak, President of the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX.

"This partnership marks a new era for our race, as we look to build upon the success of our first five years and continue to evolve alongside one of the most iconic and culturally significant brands in the world in Hard Rock. They have been alongside us in growing Hard Rock Stadium into a global sports and entertainment destination for more than a decade and in establishing our race as one of the defining moments on the Formula 1 calendar. Together, we will seek to set a new standard of what is possible when the best of racing, entertainment and culture converge in Miami, and we could not be more excited for this new chapter together."

The new agreement will see Hard Rock incorporated into the official event title and logo, in addition to extensive branding across the podium, the official Fan Fest and highly visible trackside signage throughout the Miami International Autodrome. Hard Rock will also continue to produce live entertainment at the track, building on its history of introducing audiences to some of the world's largest entertainers from a wide variety of genres each race weekend. The partnership begins with the 2027 race, with a date to be announced soon.

"Hard Rock has been a proud partner of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix since its inception, and it has emerged as one of the premier events on the global sports and entertainment calendar," said Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International. "This partnership reflects Hard Rock's commitment to delivering world-class experiences to international audiences. We look forward to continuing our work with South Florida Motorsports to enhance the race week experience while further elevating the Hard Rock brand on one of the most impressive stages in sports."

The highly sought after Hard Rock Beach Club area has become one of the landmark features of the Miami International Autodrome and is set to undergo an exciting revamp for the 2027 event.

Located on the outside of Turns 11 to 13, the space is one of the premier hospitality destinations at the FORMULA 1 HARD ROCK MIAMI GRAND PRIX. Bringing a party atmosphere mixed with music festival to the racetrack, Hard Rock Beach Club ticket holders can enjoy world-class live outdoor performances, luxury cabanas with views of the on-track action, and an elevated food and cocktail menu that keeps the energy going throughout the weekend.

The dinner raises awareness and funds for The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, the fundraising arm of The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a designated Center of Excellence at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine and the leading global research center conducting cutting-edge discovery, translational and clinical investigations in traumatic spinal cord and brain injury, peripheral nerve injury, and neurological diseases and disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis and stroke.

This year's dinner also celebrates the 60th birthday of Marc Buoniconti, the namesake and president of The Buoniconti Fund. Shortly after his 19th birthday, playing in a college football game, he was paralyzed making a routine tackle. Marc's late father, NFL Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti, made a promise to find a cure for paralysis and other neurological diseases and disorders.

"Forty-one years ago, my life changed forever," said Marc Buoniconti. "What was a simple tackle in a college football game was anything but simple for me and my family. That tackle could have ended my life, but it saved and transformed it. My injury spurred my father, Dr. Barth Green, and others into action to find a cure for paralysis and other neurological diseases and conditions. Thanks to the years of support from so many, this event helps accelerate new treatments and cures."

Presenting Sponsors are Tudor Group and the Mack Family. Mark Dalton of Tudor Group is longtime event chairman, and co-chairs are Reed Mack and Richard Gray. Christine E. Lynn is the Red-Carpet Sponsor.

#PeachyinSpace Starfighters Space Supports Space Ready 2.0 Act to Modernize Shared Infrastructure at NASA Centers


House and Senate legislation would enable voluntary private investment in infrastructure supporting growing government and commercial space operations

-Starfighters Space, Inc. (“Starfighters Space” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: FJET), the commercial space company operating the world’s only commercial fleet of flight-ready Mach 2+ supersonic aircraft, today announced its support for the Space Ready 2.0 Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives as H.R. 9651 by Congressman Mike Haridopolos (R-FL-8) and in the U.S. Senate as S. 4905 by Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL).

The proposed legislation would authorize NASA to establish a pilot program allowing the agency to work with public and private entities to improve shared infrastructure at NASA centers, including Kennedy Space Center. The program would enable voluntary contributions toward eligible infrastructure projects without establishing a new federal spending program.

“As a commercial operator at Kennedy Space Center, we see firsthand how infrastructure built for an earlier era of spaceflight is now supporting a growing mix of government and commercial space operations,” said Tim Franta, CEO of Starfighters Space. “The Space Ready 2.0 Act would provide a practical framework for NASA and its commercial partners to work together to modernize the shared infrastructure on which their missions depend, without creating a new federal spending program. Maintaining modern and reliable spaceport infrastructure is essential to supporting continued growth on the Space Coast and preserving American leadership in space.”

Kennedy Space Center has evolved into a multi-user spaceport supporting NASA missions, commercial launch providers, space companies, research organizations, and other government users. As activity on the spaceport continues to increase, modern and resilient roads, utilities, pipelines, facilities, and other shared infrastructure are becoming increasingly important to mission readiness and operational reliability.

Starfighters Space has expanded its operations at Kennedy Space Center and relies on shared infrastructure to support its high-speed flight operations, space research, payload testing, and future air-launch development activities.

Starfighters Space joins other commercial space companies and Space Coast stakeholders in supporting the legislation and its goal of enabling voluntary private-sector participation in infrastructure improvements that directly support NASA and commercial missions.

About Starfighters Space, Inc.

Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET), with a fleet of F-104 aircraft based at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the Midland Air and Space Port in Texas, is the only company in the world with the commercial capability to fly at sustained Mach 2+ speeds for a variety of aerospace applications. The iconic F-104 jets are configurable as a platform for air-launched payloads, training for pilots, and to support RDT&E (research, development, test, and evaluation) for hypersonic technologies, missile defense systems, microgravity science, spaceflight hardware, advanced materials, and defense electronic systems.

#CruisingPeachy @IndyCar O’Ward Sweeps, Palou Wins Fifth Title on Historic Day in Milwaukee

The INDYCAR SERIES history book got a workout after Pato O’Ward won the completion of the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 on Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile.

O’Ward swept both races Sunday in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet on the historic 1.015-mile oval, winning the race that was suspended due to weather Saturday just a few hours after taking the checkered flag in the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250. The Mexican became the first driver to win two INDYCAR SERIES races on the same day since Rick Mears swept a doubleheader June 28, 1981, at Atlanta Motor Speedway.


“I’ve dreamed of weekends like this before, having doubleheaders just a couple of times in my career, wishing I wanted to win both of them in a weekend,” O’Ward said. “We got to win both in a day. That’s definitely a dream come true for myself and the team.”

More history was made when Alex Palou clinched his fifth NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship after finishing 10th in this race in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. It was the Spaniard’s fourth straight title, tying a series record set by Sebastien Bourdais from 2004-07.

Palou, 29, also became the youngest driver in series history to win five titles. A.J. Foyt was 32 when he earned his fifth championship in 1967. Only Foyt, with seven, and Scott Dixon, with six, have won more INDYCAR SERIES titles than Palou.

“Incredible,” Palou said. “I owe everything to this team. So proud of this team. It is great to have another championship and ready for the next one.”

O’Ward, who started first Saturday and led when the race resumed today, crossed the finish line 1.7535 seconds ahead of David Malukas in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. Rinus VeeKay scored his first podium finish of his strong season in the No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet.

Scott McLaughlin finished fourth in the No. 3 Clarience Technologies Team Penske Chevrolet, while 2025 Milwaukee winner Christian Rasmussen rounded out the top five in the No. 21 Splenda Stevia Chevrolet of ECR.

Chevrolet-powered drivers took the top seven spots in the finishing order on a day that Honda clinched its 12th INDYCAR SERIES manufacturers’ championship.

O’Ward grabbed the lead for good on Lap 226 on a breathtaking final restart. Malukas led the field to the green flag, but his car was sluggish on the restart. O’Ward dove low and McLaughlin moved high, with the trio going three-wide into Turn 1.

The Mexican pulled ahead for the lead, making one of the track-record 372 on-track passes for position, and never trailed thereafter. Malukas stayed within a second of O’Ward for 10 laps after the restart but faded in the last 10 laps.

It was the sixth career runner-up finish without a victory for Malukas. Four of those second-place finishes have come in his first year for Team Penske, which he joined this year for his fifth season in the series.

“I’m just so frustrated,” Malukas said. “We had the car; we did everything right. We’re just cursed. I literally believe I have some sort of curse. Everything was in our favor there.

“This weekend, both races we were having issues with the engine on restarts and coming out of the pits, needing to lift and having these events where we just lose power. That really let us down.”

O’Ward and Malukas were the dominant drivers of the race, which was suspended after 90 laps Saturday due to rain and wet track conditions. They combined to lead 212 of the 250 laps, with O’Ward out front for 119 and Malukas 93.

“David was so quick, he was so good in traffic,” O’Ward said. “I was just going to have to wait for something like that (slow restart) to happen in order to have a chance on him. Otherwise, it was just going to be pedaling it to the end.”

Rasmussen and Christian Lundgaard, who ended up sixth in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, both led laps during the completion of the race today but only during pit cycles. Otherwise, it was the O’Ward-Malukas show.

Palou struggled with handling problems in this race and kept a wide berth nearly every time a rival passed him. He led the standings by 97 points entering this race after finishing fifth in the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 earlier today and needed to lead by just 54 points after this race to seal the title. So, it was safety first.

“Today was a really bad race for us,” Palou said. “We were suffering all the time. But just keep focused, keep on going.”

The next race is the season-ending Mission Grand Prix of Monterey this Friday through Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. Palou has won that race three of the last four years, including two in a row. He will race in a special livery saluting CGR legend and two-time INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Zanardi, who passed away May 1.

“I’m very excited for next weekend,” Palou said. “My favorite racetrack of the year, repping that beautiful livery in honor of Alex Zanardi.”
