SUBLIME SHELTER & SPLENDOR, neiman marcus

we are super excited… to announce an event that we are doing via style/SWOON at the downtown Neiman Marcus store called SUBLIME SHELTER & SPLENDOR. We’ve worked with NM Corporate PR for many years designing invitations to events such as this so it’s very cool to design one for ourselves. The event surrounds a small “home” (think NYC apartment) on the fourth floor in the home and entertaining gallery styled by Sam. It will be a three day installation that kicks off Thursday evening, April 8th, with a cocktail reception from 6-8 p.m. All are invited!! Please join us for cocktails, bites and beats ala Tim is the DJ (aka Tim Flannery) and tons of great style.

See below for more details on the invitation. (Very glam!)

Milton Glaser draws and discusses the act of drawing in this short film by C.Coy. (side note: who else but Mr. Glaser draws in a french cuff? Classy, people. Very classy.)

brochure and invitation, Cowboys Stadium

it is full of hidden treasure… (even to us!) We began work on the stadium project before there was even a stake in the ground and have been proud to be a part of it every step of the way. Over the past five years we have poured over renderings, toured the ins and outs of the development and construction and joyously took part in the grand opening this September. BUT one huge component of the stadium that was a surprise even to us (you think you know someone!) was the world class Art Collection of Cowboys Stadium brilliantly guided by Gene Jones. We were thrilled to put together a 60 page brochure commemorating the collection and then last Monday evening we attended an event honoring the art, artists and art advisory board (we created a fab invite for the event). It’s truly an amazing collection of art and artists. Visit the Cowboys Stadium Art site here, google the artists, you will be amazed.

See below for a peek at the brochure and invite. Enjoy!

We enjoy. (More images from jjjjound below.)

isn’t that a great image? Just a quick invite we just finished for Nicole Ritchie’s appearance at Neiman Marcus NorthPark last Thursday. Digital mounted to heavy board with a screamin’ orange envelope. Pretty groovy.

ad, brendan bass showroom

isn’t it lovely? It was fun to flip through the current issue of D Home and see our latest Brendan Bass ad. We love the rugged edge that is derived from his logo.
