Designs by Fashion Design alumnus Edward Buchanan were featured in Vice Magazine.

Designs by Fashion Design alumnus and CCAD Fashion Icon award winner Edward Buchanan (CCAD 1988-1991) are featured in the spring 2011 issue of France’s Blast magazine; the spring summer 2011 issue of Italy’s Hunter Fashion Magazine; in Volume 3, Issue 3 of France’s Vice magazine; and in the first installment of Viktor Mag.

Buchanan is the owner and designer of international fashion line Sansovino 6. His spring line was also featured in the Ahead of the Class article in the March issue of W Magazine.

“This spring he has taken on the world of jeans,” wrote J.J. Martin for W. “Indigo knits, washed and distressed by an Italian denim specialist, have been used to create unisex cutoff shorts, jackets, and various pant silhouettes. The five pocket boot cut could be mistaken for a stylishly worn-in pair of Levi’s, but done up in fine-gauge cotton knit, it feels as snuggly as sweats.”

Associate Advertising & Graphic Design alumnus Jon Hair (CCAD 1976-1978) was recently featured in North Carolina’s Our State magazine.

The article details Hair’s entire career, including his first major sculpting job. “He secured his first major commission at Miccosukee Resort and Gaming in Miami, Florida, after sitting in the waiting room for an entire week hoping for a few minutes to pitch his idea to the chairman. Two days after his initial meeting with the chairman, he came home with a commission and a check for $110,000. His Miccosukee Boy with Egrets, which stands at the entrance to the Florida resort, was one of his first large pieces.”

“In the 11 years he’s worked full time as a sculptor, Hair has created 79 pieces on commission,” Lori K. Tate wrote in her piece, Think Big. “From 2003 to 2008, he was the official sculptor for the United States Olympic Team and the United States Olympic Committee. His Olympic Strength sculpture, which depicts four bodybuilders holding the world in an Atlas fashion, stands 35 feet tall in front of the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. His work is on display throughout North Carolina and the United States and as far away as Beijing, China.”

Associate alumnus Jamie Berger and his brother were featured in the May 2011 edition of HOW Magazine.

Associate alumnus Jamie Berger (CCAD 1975-1978) and his brother were recently featured in a HOW Magazine article detailing the rebranding and success of their printing company, Cranky Pressman.

“My younger brother has owned and operated a printing shop in Salem, Ohio for years,” Berger said. “As with many print and graphics companies, the shop has had some ups and downs since the Apple and digital artwork took over the world.”

“In 2000, I convinced him to get rid of all his new printing equipment and focus on letterpress production. I created a brand for the new old shop called Cranky Pressman. The current HOW Magazine has a feature story on us and our cranky old persona.”

The article was featured in the May 2011 edition of HOW Magazine.
