2. The following pages represent an overview of the platform MAC Presents developed for leveraging
the partnership between top fashion brand rag & bone with AT&T and Samsung, along with activities
with fashion bloggers during New York Fashion Week (Feb 9-16, 2012). The program was designed
to target the creative, educated and upwardly mobile consumer who is tech-savvy and wants the latest
in advanced technology in order to stay socially and creatively connected on-the-go.
3. rag & bone
Founded in 2002, Rag & Bone had one very clear vision in mind:
to make clothes that they and their friends would love to wear
every day. With no formal fashion training, Marcus Wainwright
and David Neville set about learning how to make jeans. They
believed that denim represented the history, authenticity and
fundamentals of classic work wear that they would strive to reflect
in their designs.
Beginning in Kentucky, Rag & Bone surrounded themselves with
people who had been making patterns, cutting fabric and sewing
their whole lives. Working with these kinds of craftsmen taught
them the importance of quality, craftsman-ship and attention to
detail early on. These principles soon became the keystones of the
rag & bone philosophy, the definition of what clothing can and
should be. With these principles in mind, whenever possible rag &
bone produces the majority of their garments in U.S. factories that
still sew clothes the same way they did 50 years ago. Rag & Bone
was one of the winners of the 2010 CFDA’s awards for their
menswear and in March 2010 the brand was included in
Style.com’s Top 10 Fall collections for their Everest-expedition
inspired women’s wear. rag-bone.com
