Holiday Greeting 2012
Shop – Women’s Logo T-Shirt – Blk
When Pentagram, the design firm that created our award-winning logo, gave us a Mad Men-style presentation of creative options, this dramatic white-on-black image was the very first one — and it won our hearts immediately. Don Draper and Peggy Olson (and Paul Rand) have nothing on these guys! Enjoy a classic.
Shop – Unisex Logo T-Shirt – Blk
Let’s hear it for the boys! The classic black t-shirt with our award-winning logo in white is also available in a crew-neck men’s style. Perfect for the gentleman fashion lawyer — or the woman whose style icons include Marlene Dietrich and Katharine rather than Audrey.
4th Anniversary confirmation page
We look forward to seeing you at the Fashion Law Institute’s 4th Anniversary with designer Carrie Hammer!
