Rua Gonçalves Dias, 1883, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Movimentada rua do centro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a Gonçalves Dias se desenvolveu sem perder seu encanto histórico, o que dá a ela um charme especial.
Quando ainda era chamada de Rua dos Latoeiros, a Via foi cenário para um fato histórico do nosso país: a prisão de Tiradentes, encontrado pelo tenente Francisco Vidigal, em 1789. O Alferes se escondia na casa de Domingos Fernandes.
A Rua era chamada Latoeiros porque muitos dos ferreiros da cidade do Rio de Janeiro se concentravam lá.
Em fevereiro de 1865, houve a mudança de nome. A Câmara decidiu homenagear o poeta maranhense Gonçalves Dias, que viveu na Via por muitos anos. Há quem defenda que foi lá que ele escreveu “Os Timbiras”, considerada sua maior obra.
No ano 1868, saiu da Gonçalves Dias o primeiro bonde rumo à Zona Sul da cidade. Um marco na nossa história que revolucionou o sentido de transporte no Rio de Janeiro.
Anos mais tarde, mais precisamente em 1894, dois portugueses fundaram a Confeitaria Colombo, a principal confeitaria da cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
No fim do século XIX, a Rua era um dos principais pontos do comércio de luxo da cidade. Roupas e joias caras eram vendidas aos montes na Gonçalves Dias.
Das ruas do centro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a Gonçalves Dias foi uma das que saiu praticamente ilesa após as reformas de Pereira Passos, no início do século XX. Até hoje a Via mantém o tamanho original.

PVH Corp., formerly known as the Phillips-Van Heusen
Corporation, is an American clothing company which owns brands such as Van
Heusen, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, IZOD, Arrow, Warner's, Olga, True &
Co., and Geoffrey Beene. The company also licenses brands such as BCBG Max
Azria, Sean John, Kenneth Cole New York, JOE Joseph Abboud, and Michael Kors.
PVH is partly named after Dutch immigrant John Manning Van Heusen, who in 1910
invented a new process that fused cloth on a curve. PVH is headquartered in Manhattan
New York, with policy-making offices in Las Vegas, Nevada, Los Angeles,
California and Bridgewater, New Jersey and handling plants in Reading,
Pennsylvania, Brinkley, Arkansas, Jonesville, North Carolina, Chattanooga,
Tennessee and McDonough, Georgia all in the United States. As of April 2014,
globally, PVH had over 120,000 employees and was positioned in Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, Mongolia, Thailand,
Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and Honduras. In September 2020, PVH announced that
Stefan Larsson will be named CEO on February 1, 2021, succeeding Emanuel
Chirico, who remains as chairman. The history of Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) goes
back in part to Dramin Jones, a Prussian immigrant who founded the shirt
manufacturing company D. Jones & Sons, c. 1857. Separately, in 1881, Moses
Phillips and his wife Endel began sewing shirts by hand and selling them from
pushcarts to local anthracite coal-miners in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. This
grew into a shirt business in New York City that placed one of the first ever
shirt advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post. D. Jones & Sons merged
with M. Phillips & Sons in 1907 under the name Phillips-Jones after
Dramin Jones's death in 1903. Later Isaac Phillips met John Van Heusen,
resulting both in their most popular line of shirts (Van Heusen), and in the
subsequent acquisition of Van Heusen by Phillips-Jones and its renaming to
Phillips-Van Heusen in 1957. In 2011, Phillips-Van Heusen is renamed to PVH.
The Phillips-Jones Corporation received a patent for a self-folding collar in
1919; the corporation released the product to the public in 1921 and it became
successful. The first collar-attached shirt was introduced in 1929. The Bass
Weejun was introduced in 1936. Geoffrey Beene shirts were launched in 1982. In
1987, Phillips-Van Heusen acquired G.H. Bass. In 1995, the corporation acquired
the Izod brand, followed by the Arrow brand in 2000, and the Calvin Klein
company in 2002. In 2004, PVH began manufacturing clothing for the Donald J.
Trump Signature Collection as part of a licensing agreement with Donald Trump.
After acquiring Superba, Inc., in January 2007, PVH now owns necktie licenses
for brands such as Arrow, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, Perry Ellis, Ted
Baker, Michael Kors, JOE Joseph Abboud, Original Penguin and Jones New York.
The corporation began making men's clothing under the Timberland name in 2008,
with women's clothing following in 2009, under a licensing agreement. On March
15, 2010, Phillips-Van Heusen acquired Tommy Hilfiger for $3 billion. In the
third quarter of 2010 losses made on the "Van Heusen" brand led to
the decision to pull it out of all European trading markets. As of March 2011
the company sells no products under that name in Europe. All European staff
became redundant as a result. In February 2013, PVH acquired Warnaco Group,
which manufactured the Calvin Klein underwear, jeans and sportswear lines under
license, thus consolidating control of the Calvin Klein brand. The Warnaco
acquisition also added the Warner's and Olga intimate apparel brands, as well
the Speedo swimwear brand (the latter in North America only). In November 2013
PVH sold the G.H. Bass brand and all of its assets, images and licenses to
G-III Apparel Group. PVH ended its licensing agreement with Trump in July 2015,
after Macy's discontinued sales of his Trump Signature Collection due to
controversial comments that he made regarding illegal immigrants. In 2017
Forbes ranked PVH, 25 out of 890 companies on the "Just company"
list. In March 2017, PVH acquired lingerie brand True & Co. In June 2018,
PVH acquired the Geoffrey Beene clothing brand, which PVH previously produced
under license. On August 28, 2018, PVH announced that it would expand the Izod
brand to portions of Europe beginning with the Fall/Winter 2018 collection. In
January 2020, PVH sold back the rights for the Speedo swimwear brand,
previously marketed under "Speedo USA" and "Speedo North
America", back to Speedo's international parent, the British Pentland
Group. The deal was in exchange for $170 million in cash.

Friedrichstrasse, Berlim, Alemanha
The Friedrichstraße is a major culture and shopping
street in central Berlin, forming the core of the Friedrichstadt neighborhood
and giving the name to Berlin Friedrichstraße station. It runs from the
northern part of the old Mitte district (north of which it is called
Chausseestraße) to the Hallesches Tor in the district of Kreuzberg. This
downtown area is known for its posh real estate market and the campus of the
Hertie School of Governance. Due to its north-southerly direction, it forms
important junctions with the east-western axes, most notably with Leipziger
Straße and Unter den Linden. The U6 U-Bahn line runs underneath. During the
Cold War it was bisected by the Berlin Wall and was the location of Checkpoint
Charlie. As central Berlin's traditional shopping street, Friedrichstraße is
three blocks east of the parallel Wilhelmstraße, the historic heart of the old
government quarter (Regierungsviertel) until 1945. The Friedrichstraße was
badly damaged during World War II and only partly rebuilt during the division
of Berlin. The section in West Berlin was partly rebuilt as a residential
street; in the late 1960s, the remains of the former Belle-Alliance-Platz at
the end of the Friedrichstraße, renamed Mehringplatz, were completely
demolished and replaced with a concrete housing and office development designed
by Hans Scharoun. Despite its central location, this area remains relatively
poor. In the East Berlin section, plans were put into place to widen the street
to four lanes as was done to the Leipziger Straße; the Hotel Unter den Linden
(demolished 2006) and the original Lindencorso (demolished 1991) were the only
structures built during this time with the wider profile of the street in mind.
The Grand Hotel Berlin, East Germany's top 5-star hotel, was built across from
the Hotel Unter den Linden in 1987. Further plans were drawn up for a
rebuilding of the street, and construction was well underway at the time of
German reunification in 1990, when the East German Plattenbau-based
construction was stopped and subsequently demolished; only a few buildings that
were already complete and occupied were spared. The completed Berlin Casino
building located at the corner of Leipziger Straße was torn down in 1994.
Friedrichstraße was rebuilt in the 1990s, and at the time it was the city's
largest construction project; work continues north of Friedrichstraße station.
From 1992 until 1996, construction works took place for a six-building, $800
million, multi-use complex developed by Tishman Speyer, among others. The
buildings have a city-imposed height limit of about 100 feet. A number of
well-known architects contributed to the plans, including Jean Nouvel, who
designed the Galeries Lafayette department store (Quartier 207); Pei Cobb Freed
& Partners, who planned Quartier 206; and Oswald Mathias Ungers, who
created Quartier 205. Philip Johnson created parts of the American Business Center
at Checkpoint Charlie, a $751 million five-building complex of offices, shops
and apartments developed by Ronald Lauder and Central European Media
Enterprises. The redevelopment received mixed reviews. During the Cold War and
division of Berlin, the Friedrichstraße underground station, despite being
located in East Berlin, was utilized by two intersecting West Berlin S-Bahn
lines and the West Berlin subway line U6. The station served as a transfer
point for these lines, and trains stopped there, although all other stations on
these lines in East Berlin were sealed-off ghost stations (Geisterbahnhof),
where trains passed through under guard without stopping. At Friedrichstraße
station, West Berlin passengers could transfer from one platform to another but
could not leave the station without the appropriate papers. The section of the
station open to West Berlin lines was heavily guarded and was sealed off from
the smaller part of it serving as a terminus of the East Berlin S-Bahn and as a
station for long-distance trains. In 2020, a section of Friedrichstraße was
closed off for motorized traffic during a five-month trial period with the
intent to revitalize urban space.
