Able Made
Able Made focuses on the integrity of how something is made, and that is a key part of its collective impact. They are committed to fair wages, safe work environments, low environmental impact, and leading responsible practices. The non-profit collaborates with American manufacturers that guide their processes on innovation and push the boundaries of luxe, eco-tech, and sustainability. At least 2% to 10% of proceeds of every Able Made product funds special initiatives that empower the world to be healthier.
In late 2015 we offered to help design and potentially art direct the new 2016 view book for the incredible company, Able Made. The CEO, Suzanne McKenzie thankfully accepted and then she asked the New York-based fashion photographer Adrian Doza if he could help out, too. Once onboard, Adrian’s photos gave the new collection a bold new energy and movement that reflected the company’s latest mantra: Live Boldly. The copy in the look book was created by former Arnold Worldwide writer and creative director, Lisa Taylor. The copy and new images, along with Suzanne’s original vision have a wonderful cadence and positive energy that capture what she envisioned months before.
Scope: Design, Art Direction, Color Correcting, High-Resolution Retouching, and Press Supervision
