👉🏼What the story…..with this terribly video quality? It’s probably what your thinking, don’t worry we we’re too. But it’s actually clips from our first ever party as H&G Creations (hunt & gather at the time) Just when you think 10 years wasn’t that long ago, you see images and videos from then and you realise it actually was a while ago. Let’s set the scene the for everyone, it’s 2014, the country is recovering from a financial crisis, a-lot of pals have emigrated, and there’s not many opportunities going. But by golly we we’re not gunna let that stop us from making art and having good time. We took inspiration from Nuit Blanche late night festival that would happen every year in Paris. And we created our own Nuit Blanche in an old office of public work formerly knows as IMOCA (irish museum of contemporary art) a giant white walled warehouse space the perfect canvas. We created a night market, art exhibition, art classes, dance party and big kids playground for everyone till the wee hours in the morning. It was so popular people lined up around the block to get in and even were climbing the walls to get in. And there you have it H&G was born. Our vision was always to being people joy, bring art to people in unusual spaces, and expose new culture to those who may never have experienced culture before. And 10 years later we’re still doing just that. #events #festival #eventplanning #brands #creative #design 

🎯“Our 50th Anniversary is coming up… it’s a big deal--Show us what you’ve got!” Absolutely--You BETTER BELIEVE we're ready to play! 🖐Who knows about the Zingers! show cars? If you know, you know! If you don’t know---- well google “zingers show cars”— ✅Also google Chuck Miller. In 1970 these 1/3 scales hit the national circuit; the custom car world was never the same. They trigger emotion and excitement…they trigger it all! After my call---We got after it in Zingers! fashion. The goal was to make this design feel like you would have picked it up at a W.O.W. (World of Wheels) show at any of their destination events where the Zingers! were being shown! ❤️VIBE: 70’s retro with an emotional (Saturday morning in your underpants watching cartoons on the shag carpet) feeling. 🎲Trouble shoot: With so many to decide on—it was a vicious game of rock-paper-scissors with myself. 🎯Decision: It all landed on the Manx and the BUS. 45 hours later---what you see here. ~~~They went BonK3RS! ✅ Fun fact #1: This design was on tees as well as posters for Chuck Miller to autograph on at the anniversary event. ✅ Fun fact #2: Get a good look—because this offering is now vapor. ✅ Fun fact #3: Why? Because all of the tees and posters are----SOLD OUT! --- Speaking of selling OUT! Wouldn’t you like your offerings to sell out too?! That’s on the daily here at Studio 669. Fire of “Go Time” in a message to me---we can chat about design work for you that will vaporize also! ✅ Fun fact #4: That call is no obligation and costs zero. ✅ Fun fact #5: No one holds you back but YOU. ✅ Fun fact #6: Give me a follow and I’ll drop cool into your feed daily. #manx #designwork #anniversary #tribute

TGIF portance FOUNDER'S EDITION VOL II, EPISODE 3 - 2024 This week’s main topic was Design & Dolce Vita. 😎 TOP WEEKLY ACHIEVEMENTS: I spent most of the week in Milan for Design Week to promote portance and our awarded merinoTech jacket. Loved the vibes in the city and meeting awesome co-founders from across Europe that also started their journey within the WORTH Partnership Project 10 months ago. You can't dance at two weddings. So they say. This week, we managed to do so with the great help of our growing team. More than grateful to have been part of the Essen Innovation Day by Business Metropole Ruhr GmbH. This again showed us, how diverse and full of opportunities the Ruhr-based startup ecosystem is and how well the area is connected. It's all about the network. So I'm grateful for two insightful conversations I had this week. ONE: With Rafael Schwierz. As seasoned founder and entrepreneur, he opened up and talked about his personal founder highs and lows and gave me great advice. Thank you for reaching out, Raphael! TWO: With a high-profile Milan-based model. He also opened up and talked about his career, from shoots with Abercrombie to being the opener for Armani and D&G. From personal highs and lows. And: From bringing in a new haute-couture perspective into the portance brand. Watch this space as we might embark on a joint journey soon! 😰 MISTAKES I'VE MADE Lost my focus. Ok, I said it earlier. You cannot dance at two weddings (or can you?). Currently, I notice that I loose focus with too many tedious tasks I should not do as a founder. Learn to say no. Learn to get back your stolen focus. It is better to do one thing 80% than 5 things 30%. 🤠 WEEKEND PLANS: Work Work Work Hard weekend ahead. Guess it rains anyway. // Dom #tgif #portance #founderstories #gründer #gründen #milan #mdw

I’m just not that into your runway show. Aka what I actually love about NYFW. Every NYFW, people ask me if I’m excited for NYFW. I am! But not for the reason they assume. I don’t get excited about attending runway shows. It’s not because I’m a jaded business person who’s spent far too much time waiting for shows to start than seeing actual clothes. It’s not because I don’t enjoy the theater and appreciate the massive efforts behind the art presented. I hate waste. As a CEO, I deeply feel the waste on display when small, emerging designers invest their money and precious time putting on a show because they think they should, or must, to gain attention for their brand. A show is a party for your fans. First, get fans. This week at RAISEfashion Masterclass 2024 panel, the lovely and talented Jacques Agbobly said it best when asked what people can do to support Black designers: “Buy our clothes. Buy our clothes at full price.” Find fans and customers who will buy your clothes at full price. Until you have a profitable bottom line and the cash to throw your fans a party, keep working on connecting with the customers who can pay full price. Until you have connected with customers willing to hand over their hard earned cash, you don’t have a business, your brand is still an art project. And that’s great! We all have to start somewhere. Keep going. Find patrons for your art. Read my full article to find out what I love about NYFW and how designers can create connections with their customers beyond a runway presentation. ❤️🗽🎨
