Matto Barfuss, successful wildlife filmmaker, achieved fame in the 1990’s after spending months living among cheetahs. We caught up with Matto in the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, where he is shooting his latest film, about meerkats; and despite sometimes challenging environmental conditions, is always wearing his Birkenstocks.

BIRKENSTOCK has opened its first company-owned retail store in the United States. The store is located at 120 Spring Street in the historic SoHo neighborhood of lower Manhattan.

Following the successful launch of the first collection and its global premier with the BIRKENSTOCK BOX in Los Angeles, the collaboration between Birkenstock and Rick Owens extends to a second season, with women’s styles debuting during Paris Women Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019.
