What is common between Gen Z and millennials? It is indeed their unfazed love for streetwear and sneakers. For fashion influencer and creative director Santino LoConte luxury streetwear is a passion. LoConte admits that he has been lucky to have developed deep networks within sneaker and streetwear inroads of the global fashion market.

LoConte’s opinion on sneakers and streetwear is considered noteworthy in the fashion circuits. In recent times, events happening within the proponent’s physical store and brand have attracted the attention of Forbes, WWD, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, and other fashion press. One such development was the opening of a lifestyle brand and curated retail concept located at 807 Washington Street in New York City. In partnership with Korean giant Samsung, LoConte offers sneaker and streetwear lovers unique access to new releases such as Adidas’s YEEZY Boost 700 Wave Runner, Futurecraft 4D and Hu NMD “Holi Festival.”

LoConte puts a lot of trust in his product selections and relationships with consumers. Each product from Santino’s collections comes with a certificate of authenticity, so customers know they are getting the real deal.

Santino LoConte’s recognition as a fashion authority is based on not only concepts of sneaker and streetwear design, but also on matters of back-office support systems and industry contacts.

Perhaps the key area of creative strength for LoConte is the ability to bring together novel partnerships. His brand Reign in collaboration with Samsung is a sponsor of the New York Fashion Week. The team also works with notable industry players such as Balmain, Comme des Garçons, Thom Browne, Rick Owens, and Issey Miyake.

Much of LoConte’s flair for detail can be seen at Reign’s flagship retail store in New York which features an integrated sound and visual technology shopping system amongst a white-washed exposed brick wall, and Versailles parquet sky-light lit setting.

Brooklyn’s Aesthetic Island has become the go-to destination for clients seeking advanced med spa treatments that merge artistry with clinical precision. Under the direction of board-certified Nurse Practitioner and educator Eva Israilova, the spa offers a wide range of services designed to refresh, restore, and refine the face and body. From injectables and thread lifts to non-invasive contouring, each treatment is customized for results that balance natural beauty with transformative impact.

Conveniently located on Coney Island Avenue, Aesthetic Island accommodates the city’s fast-paced lifestyle with flexible scheduling and carefully tailored care. Every client begins with a thorough review of their health history, lifestyle, and personal goals, ensuring that treatments meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy. Volume restoration with fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra, PDO threads for subtle lifting, and HydraFacials or chemical peels for skin clarity are all thoughtfully integrated into treatment plans.

Among the most popular services is the non-surgical nose enhancement with dermal fillers, which delivers immediate improvements with refined precision. Small adjustments to the bridge, tip, or profile create elegant results that elevate confidence while maintaining a natural look.

The spa is also recognized for its CO2 laser program, often described as the ultimate reset for the skin. By resurfacing the outer layers while encouraging deep collagen renewal, the treatment smooths texture, minimizes damage, and restores firmness. Paired with Morpheus8, it becomes one of the most effective combinations available for total skin rejuvenation.

Complementing these signature offerings, Aesthetic Island also provides holistic services such as IV therapy, laser hair removal, and weight-loss programs, making it a comprehensive beauty destination. Eva extends her expertise beyond her clients through professional training, mentoring the next generation of practitioners in injectables, threads, and advanced non-invasive procedures. The result is a med spa that defines the future of aesthetic care in New York.
