  • AW11 Launch X PDC Exhibition

    2011-08-09 11:45:33

    Finally! The AW11 Collection has launched last Saturday with the showcase of Protest Design Company's (PDC) new collection!

    The opening party was awesome with our AW11 collection on the coronation of adulthood and the pop-up store by PDC. And of course, the party wouldn't have been so amazing without everyone of you who came to show your support for us. Thank you so much for coming and let's daydream on!

    New collection now on racks!

    Attended the T-shirt painting workshop at Daydream Nation. Looks like lots of fun! Check on a regular basis for new upcoming workshops!

    Emily

    Presented an article written in Flash On Weekly Magazine regarding the success of Gay Men in the fashion industry. The article suggests perhaps Gay men are more successful in this industry because, not only do they have a male’s sense of fashion, but also possess a sense of women and their desires and perspectives. This list of successful gay designers include Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Gianni Versace, Alexander McQeen, and Christian Dior.

    Kelly

    Introduced a blog site written by a New Yorker working in the PR division of DKNY. She provides great insight of the company and what is happening backstage; but also great career tips and advice and inspirational quotes. Check out her site!

    Karen

    Showed us a website that displays personal interests of photos, events, and DIYs. You can “Pin your Interests” online. Check out the website at Pintrest. 

    Tore

    Wants to meet Billy the Prince and would like Billy to Judge his personal style and sense of fashion. Check out this interesting video here!

    Kay

    Found interesting artistic designers that collaborated to created quirky drawing and designs. The company called “Dirty Paper” piqued Kay’s interest and may have potential to be sold in our stores. We are always on the search for new unique products that fit well with our company and culture.
