The Latest from Traffic
It's August. Already.
Somehow we're here. Summer has hit that point where the days seem endless, but the calendar insists otherwise.
While the world has been pretending to slow down, we've been busy behind the scenes—working with artists, launching new collaborations, chasing ideas, and making a few things happen that we're excited to share.
We've also remembered to come up for air. Longer evenings, a little sunshine, and the occasional reminder that not everything needs to happen today have been good for the soul.
Here's a look at what we've been up to. We hope you're having a summer that's equal parts productive, restorative, and just a little bit lazy.
Thanks, as always, for following along. We hope you're having a wonderful summer!
Inspired by vintage science fiction, space-age fashion, and the romance of adventure, each piece tells the story of travelers navigating unfamiliar worlds while finding moments of beauty, connection, and wonder.
To kick things off, we're excited to share that Izak Zenou will be back at The Carlyle on September 9–11 for another Illustrator Tea at Dowling's at The Carlyle.
And because it's New York Fashion Week, we're planning something extra special. Stay tuned for details on a one-of-a-kind Fashion Week-inspired tea experience that blends fashion, illustration, and the timeless elegance of The Carlyle.
What's Your Sign?
Astrology is having a moment—and Perryn Ryan is having a lot of fun with it.
Her latest series, What Is Your Zodiac Sign? (Sunglasses Edition), transforms the twelve zodiac signs into striking portraits filled with style, confidence, and a touch of mystery. The sunglasses become more than an accessory. They're equal parts armor and attitude.
Fresh, witty, and unmistakably contemporary, the collection sits at the crossroads of fashion, illustration, and pop culture. Every piece feels like a personality waiting to be discovered.
The only question is... which one are you?
The Joy of Pattern
Some artists paint pictures. Sam Wilde builds worlds.
Bursting with fearless color, hypnotic patterns, and playful geometry, his work transforms the everyday into something extraordinary. Whether wrapping a luxury product, covering a wall, or becoming part of a textile collection, every design invites you to step a little closer—because there's always another detail waiting to be discovered.
It's bold. It's joyful. And once you start looking, it's impossible to stop.
That’s all, folks!
