Vistro Burger by Vegan Warrior Project

The best Burger you will ever taste happens to be vegan! Vistro Burger rivals Beyond & Impossible and is healthier, sexier and 100% plant based.

VistroBurger was born in 2020 in NYC and is 100% Plant-Based and is redefining what it means to be a Burger. All VistroBurger patties are original and made in-house and the All-American patty rivals Beyond & Impossible - offering a new healthy meatless taste plant based alternative for the growing flexitarian and health conscious consumers.

“During the pandemic I was trying to find a healthy vegan burger in NYC, but there were no other options than Beyond or Impossible.” says co-founder Ross Glick from Vegan Warrior Project.

The VistroBurger Menu was created in collaboration with the original team from famed Candle79 & Candle Cafe (NYC). The chefs were part of the Candle group for 20+ years, pioneering in the vegan/vegetarian food world. All of the burger patties are made with fresh and organic produce from local farms. Each chef-made burger is carefully assembled with a house made special sauce, vegan cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion on a toasted vegan kosher bun, also made in house.

Everything VistroBurger serves is made with 100% whole plant-based ingredients. They contain NO dairy, honey, or eggs. All products (from burgers, to sliders, drinks, and each and every ingredient) are free of any animal content.

The Sexy Seitan, Beanoa, and Chickpea burgers are all made from 100% plant-based ingredients. The Shroom’n contains tempeh and is a top seller. An homage to the American classic Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, or famed In-N-Out Burger, the VistroBurger All-American is made from pea protein isolate. Pea protein isolate is a healthy meat alternative derived from yellow split peas. Compared to pea protein concentrate, it is denser in protein and a great source of fiber. VitsroBurger buns taste great and are 100% vegan and kosher certified.

VistroBurger is currently available as a delivery & pick up option in NYC and via its first kitchen fulfillment partner Plant Bar NYC : Nomad. 1204 Broadway, New York, NY, 10001.

Corran Brownlee

According to the artist, this series looks at our vain attempts to "return to normal" and our compulsion to paint over society's problems. For twenty years Corran Brownlee used his craft to realize the vision of other filmmakers and storytellers from fight sequence storyboards for Jackie Chan to concept images for James Bond opening titles to directing an award winning short with Keira Knightley. This is Corran’s second solo exhibition at Show Gallery and allows us to journey into his world.

For its opening, SEIS presents the work of renowned LA light and space artist Peter Lodato in collaboration with the enchanting bronzes of the late, great Cape Town sculptor Bruce Arnott.

Designer Peter Cohen was called “LA’s best secret” by the LA Times, dressing celebrities like Oprah and producing consciously and ethically out of his Los Angeles atelier.

Shot in LA in the Hollywood Hills the new campaign highlights the rituals and self care that match your self expression. 

Mariah Bonner dances, laughs, swims and radiates in the shots that showcase her relaxed beauty. The commercial captures the moments of pure bliss. A voice over by the talent and singer Mariah Bonner in French tells us about the freedom to be yourself.

"I like to feel free. the sensation of sun on my skin. smooth, light, soft protection.

Jeremiah plays basketball and skateboard and applies the Julisis FACIAL OIL serum with a masculine confidence, as part of his rituals. We hear his song "happy"  in the background as the model is also a musician. 

“Director Katharina Baron captured so well the essence of JULISIS in her director’s role. The joy of clean, organic beauty shown in action - I completely let her free hand as I know that our esthetics perfectly align. Her cast is a complete reflection of our values and ethics expressing timelessness and modernity.  The outcome is fantasticallyconvincing.” Julius Eulberg, Julisis founder. 

The new campaign reflects the paradigm for the new year to investing in your wellbeing beyond anything else. 

Peter Cohen

Peter Cohen proposes an ease, calmness and comfort to the women he dresses. His genius speaks through his quiet attention to details and appreciation for those wearing his designs. He isn’t looking to be the star himself, or for the spotlight that often comes from such success within the fashion world. Instead, he places the spotlight on you, the wearer. “When I see a very well-dressed person, I don’t want to be overwhelmed. The clothes have to be secondary,” mentions Peter. In our store, we have always valued the voice of our clients – they want to speak for themselves, they don’t find it necessary to communicate entirely through the things they own or wear.

Peter’s designs are a reflection of our times without ever having an identifying cue to what year or when it was designed. It’s through his striking silhouettes and luxury fabrications, not one of which bears his name anywhere on the clothing, that he is able to dress women so intuitively. His fabrics against your skin give new meaning to mundane coffee runs. The subtle power of his designs organically enhances the milestone events, experiences and memories that define our lives. They are never a distraction to the larger stage. Dressing in clothing from Peter Cohen reassures the wearer of their own confidence. He wraps our women in a comfort that is both elegant and timeless. “Sensuality is key to what I do. Clothes have to turn you on a little…to yourself.”

Whether it’s a bias cut elasticated trouser, flattering to all shapes and sizes, or a jacket meant to enhance any silhouette, there aren’t any hidden gimmicks. There are no emblazoned logos, distracting ruffles or grommets. The collective of his designs have defined a modern uniform. His pieces mix easily with the wardrobe staples of today, the perfect jean, the casual sandal, the statement necklace, and makes what is commonplace truly magical. The simplicity of his work is exactly what we need right now. His staying power, and our 30 years of collaborating has proven that in fact it’s what we’ve always needed - to be turned on and into ourselves allowing space for the other things that matter most to you. His Los Angeles based atelier provides an experience more akin to those of Milan or Paris.

PunkMeTender for Kylie Jenner's Stormi collection

Inspired by the intersection of street art and high fashion, Punk Me Tender hones in on the deepest desires of human kind. Fashion forward, and female empowered – enigmatic street artist Punk Me Tender lets his female muses do all of the talking for him.

French native turned Angelino, Punk Me Tender lets his passion lead the way with all of his creative decisions. Each artwork begins with his original photography and is then altered and spun by a gritty street aesthetic. Lastly, the artwork is embellished with a fantastical finish that incorporates real exotic butterflies, silk flowers, and Swarovski crystals to push the artwork over the top. Desires and sexuality are ceased when the entire artwork is encased in Plexiglas, reminding the viewer that such extremes are just slightly out of reach.

PunkMeTender is also the new favorite artist for the Kardashian/Jenner family having been featured at Khloe Kardashian’s daughter’s 1st birthday and at the launch for Kylie Jenner’s makeup collection Stormi.
