Etsy is acquiring Depop for $1.62 billion. The online retailer will purchase the second-hand fashion app and hope to encourage a younger audience to enter its market. Etsy primarily has an audience of approximately 39, whereas 90% of Depop’s demographic is under 26. “Depop is a vibrant, two-sided marketplace with a passionate community, a highly-differentiated offering of unique items, and we believe significant potential to further scale,” said Josh Silverman, the CEO of Etsy. The transaction is set to be completed by the third quarter of 2021.

Crocs have unveiled its latest collaboration with another musician – this time, with the DJ Diplo. The controversial shoe company has previously worked with stars like Bad Bunny and Justin Bieber. There are two different footwear styles in this launch – one pair of yellow two-strap sandals and classic clogs. The first features Jibbitz that are custom-designed, and the second offers a psychedelic theme, with bright colors and 3D mushroom Jibbitz, which glow in the dark.

“I wear my Crocs literally everywhere, so I’m stoked to have some with my name on them and that others can get them too,” explained Diplo. “Crocs helped me bring my adventures to life with these designs and the 3D, light up, and glow-in-the-dark mushroom Jibbitz charms are cooler than I could’ve imagined.”The New York Botanical Garden held its Spring Gala to celebrate the KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature exhibition. The gallery showcased the works of Yayoi Kusama, who incorporates dots, sunflowers, and bright colors. Some of the guests in attendance include Brooke Shields, Olivia Palermo, Alek Wek, and Karlie Kloss. The event raised $1.3 million to support the NYBG and its education programs. “This is the first time I’ve put on a gown since February 2020. To be able to be out without a mask is just thrilling,” said Kate David, the Co-Chair of the event. She hosted the show alongside Ashley McDermott, Georgina Bloomberg, Lili Buffett, Holly Lowen, Gillian Hearst, Sharon Jacob, and Whitney Clay.
