Our New York City TouchLab store opens tomorrow (Wednesday, 1 December), and today while we were working out a few kinks and getting ready for the VIP party and grand opening, who do we see walk in? Some scruffy bearded guy, and someone who looks like a former Icebreaker model.
Jo Lewis, our retail designer, recognized the Conchord behind the beard and welcomed Jemaine Clement and director/actor/comedian/writer Taika Waititi (who tried on all sorts of Icebreaker outerwear). Jemaine said he and his FOTC bandmate Bret McKenzie wore a lot of Icebreaker baselayer during their shoots to stay warm.
We’re very excited to see Taika’s new movie, “Boy“, open globally. Both gents were ever charming and posed for photos with the Icebreaker crew, check them out below!
We hope to see them back tomorrow for the festivities.
Comments
I’m commenting on your headline, “Time for Business Socks?” When I fly for business or as a vacationer, I wear Icebreaker socks. I find that they keep my feet dry and comfortable on long flights and while slogging through airports. Much better than cotton (on long trips, cotton gives me waterlogged heels that then crack open when they dry out).
