On Monday, New York State Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, a Democrat from Queens, announced she would introduce an amendment to the state’s current anti-discrimination laws.

Hunter has launched a pop-up greenhouse in the Vanderbilt Hall at New York’s Grand Central Terminal, recreating the misty landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Created to celebrate the brand’s British heritage, the pop-up is modeled on a traditional glass-roofed design. Visitors entering it are greeted by the atmospheric sound of rain, moss underfoot and an ethereal layer of Scotch mist – a mixture of fog and light rain common in the Scottish Highlands. Inside, they are then able to interact with some of the Hunter Original Core Concept rainwear pieces, including boots and jackets, in the environment they were designed for.
