W+K PORTLAND

Oh Goodie! W+K Studio is Back!

You betcha baby, back and better than ever. Check out their latest blog reincarnation, Goodness and the launch of their latest project keeping their design belly's full, TEASE.

TEASE was the brainchild of studio manager/designer Dani Guralnick who thought a little healthy t-shirt design competition amongst the W+K Studio folks would be a fun way to keep the creative juices flowing when there were no ads to be made. Check out our Studio deemed winners. We hope you have as much fun buying and wearing them, as we did making them. 

Our New Blog

The W+K blog began three years ago as a fun side project in the Studio. And it was great and we all loved it. But the WWW is a cruel place and our blog quickly grew into a giant ugly monster. So we killed it.

Today we launched our new blog. The URL is now: http://blog.wk.com.

Thanks to Rob Kendall, Tony Frusciante, Trent Johnson, Scrappers and Scott Kleiner for working hard to make this happen.

W+K Shanghai Blog

The Shanghai office has been doing their blog since June. They've been making moves in China and showing a bit of the office's culture. Big ups to the Shanghai office getting past the Chinese internet police and doing their thing.

If you don't get them the first time, try again later. The internet connection is a bit scattered in China.

Traveling Salesman

Our John Jay wrote this article for the NY Times blog about Marvin Traub's new book "Like No Other Career: Marvin Traub".

At 83, the legendary former Bloomingdale’s chairman Marvin S. Traub still logs over 200,000 miles of travel a year in search for what is new and innovative. As is evident from reading his new book, “Like No Other Career: Marvin Traub” (Assouline), there is no one younger in spirit or more curious in the fashion business. Written in collaboration with the fashion business reporter Lisa Marsh, the 176-page tome is a lively and personal documentation of Traub’s career as a top retail consultant and investment banker since “retiring” from Bloomingdale’s in 1991. The book features messages, drawings and photographs from the fashion-world bon ton, including Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Issey Miyake, Hubert de Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, Diane Von Furstenberg and Ralph Lauren.

Former WK12 Year 1'r Rudy Adler recently launched a new website – How I Spent My Stimulus.com. In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. Rudy hopes this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

Rudy created this as a collaborative project. All blog entries are submitted by visitors to the site. He'd love for you to contribute — just upload a photo and share your story.
