The most titanic of the valley’s tech titans was due to unveil its most signi!cant update to the iPhone since its launch, ten years previous. In that time the iPhone has upended industries and transformed how we do just about everything. The update was a big deal. But most of the golden ticket holders were as excited about where they were as what they were about to see.

Adam Kimmel is recharged and redirected as WeWork's creative chief

Wallpaper* Magazine — As second-act professional re-routings go, Adam Kimmel's is an attention grabber. In the late noughties, the native New Yorker was the next big thing in men's fashion.

Wallpaper* Magazine — There is a lazy, quick take on Samuel Ross that positions him as simply an acolyte of Virgil Abloh and a younger, British varietal.
