Spring 2010. Ruffian.

Gradient Magazine

Manhattan welcomed the birth of a new lifestyle magazine, Gradient.   The launch was a fashionable fete at the W Downtown Residences hosted by Patron and included a bevy of chic guests.  The magazine's manifesto is to be an outlet for exploration. For the premier issue, founders Matt Fried and brothers Alan and Barris Vinogradov, exhibited photo composites of famous firsts, the first U.S. President,  the first Mickey Mouse, the first Barbie, the first comic book and other significant people and things to show a world that exists at a gradient level.  The quarterly publication will be distributed gratis and aims to feature design, lighting, food, fashion and a gallery of unique works of art.

Earnest Sewn + Ruffian

(NYC) Starting May 27th and through June 9th, Ruffian will take residence in the back room at Earnest Sewn's boutique in the Meatpacking District. This is in efforts to hype up their Fall 2008 line of needlepoint graffiti dresses and skinny denim suits and also in collaboration with artist Anne Koch for a visual installation. The theme is Boarding School Rebel, so surely the installation will be accompanied with skinny black ties. A party to celebrate the collection will be held on May 27th at Earnest Sewn's shop in the Meatpacking.
