Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.

New Form Perspectives

Posted | Views: 17,884

In these rapidly changing times N:F:P fosters the concept of transition, transformation and evolution. Gail Travis has designed a collection of smart geometric shapes and styles that are of the moment, but not bound by time. Each piece has the ability to link, layer, fold, snap, shift or connect, creating a platform for personal expression. Ultimately encouraging each individual’s NEW FORM & PERSPECTIVE.

 

The knitted sweaters (NIT), hand felted dresses and tops (FELT) and foundation jersey pieces of tanks, bodysuits, and leggings (PHRAME) collectively present a unique line of architectural building blocks. N:F:P additionally offers a distinctive line of tunics, dresses and floor-length gowns using a signature felting technique, one of the oldest methods of fabric-making. NEW FORM PERSPECTIVE marries felting with diaphanous featherweight jerseys in subtle, muted colors creating stunning, sophisticated, modern foils for layering the knits.

 

N:F:P’s ability to turn upside-down, backwards, and creatively mold, secures the sustainability of each garment. It supports a more socially conscious and resourceful lifestyle through appreciation of highly designed, multi-functional product. Rooted in timeless architectural shapes, New Form Perspective’s goal is to encourage minimizing the disposable mindset of recent fashion, and increase awareness of fashion’s strength to be an enhancement to our basic environment and personal self. Ultimately sharing the beauty of fashion through it’s ability to be inventive and creative while maintaining a wearable artform. N:F:P positively motivates each individual towards a more personalized interaction between designer and consumer.

 

Designer Gail Travis resides in Beacon, NY. She works out of her studio, tucked away in room #206 in the old Beacon High School that has been converted to an artist cooperative. After working in the high-end fashion design world in NYC for the past 10 years, for companies such as Calvin Klein, Shelly Steffee, and Vera Wang, she has fatefully been guided to design her own brand free from mainstream trends. Her collection is inspired by her surroundings, personal interactions, experience of movement, and architecture and sculpture. Ultimately these inspirations morph into the modular, building-block nature of her designs.

These interesting portraits were done by Craig Redman. They are of Thomas Winter, Keith Haring and he has a few others on his site. I can see elements of Peter Max and Romero Brito in these. But they got their own spin for sure. Check out more of his work here.

Good online marketing is all about Return on Investment.   A website that looks beautiful quickly loses value unless it becomes an online tool to generate business. 

 

Similarly, a Google marketing campaign loses value if it is not properly managed by experienced experts.  Do-it-yourself online marketing can come at the high cost of taking you away from what you do best: managing your business.

 

The purpose of all marketing is to drive traffic to your business.  Whether or not new business comes through your website, the important thing is that it finds you. My job at is to help make sure it does.

Know your demographic.  Typically, most business' customers are in the transitional period.  That is, they use both online and print directories when searching for a local product or service.

January Jones interview with Jack Nicholson

JANUARY JONES

Interviewed by

JACK NICHOLSON

Jack Nicholson: Why did you want me to do this interview?

 

January Jones: Because after you called me to say that you appreciated my work in the first season of Mad Men, you said that I shouldn’t do too many interviews because the show is going to get bigger. So I thought it was ironic that you agreed to do this one.

 

Nicholson: You said on the phone that you wanted me to do it because you thought I would be curious about the same thing as the average person—and that I wouldn’t ask you who you were dating.

 

Jones: Yeah.

 

Nicholson: But that’s what people want to know.


Jones: I guess.

 

Nicholson: So is your name January because you were born then?

 

Jones: It’s a coincidence. It’s from a book called Once is Not Enough by Jacqueline Susann. Bad book.
