In honor of Earth Month this April, our client Global Fashion Brands (a new indie fashion shopping site) will be running an Eco Pop-Up Store featuring only the best in ethical womenswear, menswear and accessories. There will be a virtual pop-up storefront running all month long (online), as well as a physical pop-up shopping event in midtown Manhattan on Thursday, April 14th, at the Nexus Townhouse.
Keeping the Earth in mind, 10% of all proceeds from the pop-up store will be donated back to the Red Cross for Japan Relief, giving you more than one way to feel great about your sustainable spending. Plus, the roster will house two non-profit designer collections for a cause, including modernized muumuus courtesy of Care 4 Kenya and faux-leather cuffs by Project Migration.
Other Earth Month designers will include ethical fashion favorites like Lara Miller, Ailin, Chak Chel, Moonlight, Vella Mode, Boutique Ethique, Tammam, Elena Garcia and Tompkins Point, just to name a few.
“Earth Month is a great time to highlight ethical fashion,” says CEO Kerry Bannigan, “Not only to celebrate the brands that practice fair trade but also to remind consumers of the trends and wearable products within sustainable fashion.”
The virtual pop-up store will launch on Friday, April 1st at www.globalfashionbrands.com/earthmonth and the physical pop-up shop opens on Thursday, April 14 at the Nexus Townhouse, located at 39 W. 56th St., between 5th & 6th Aves.

Amanda Dolan's first venture in sculpting - her idea of a "post-modern flower pot."
Mixed-media artist and AMP3 client Amanda Dolan unveiled her latest collection of artwork, titled “Precious Things” on Saturday night, October 17th, 2009 at the Ward-Nasse Gallery on Prince Street in SoHo.
Unlike Amanda’s other shows, this collection was more cheerful in theme. Each of the pieces featured a vibrant mix of bright colors like pink, blue and purple – all mixed with hearts, flowers, rainbows and more – including Amanda’s beloved French bulldog, Pearl. About half of the works from “Precious Things” sold the night of the opening. In addition, Amanda unveiled her first venture into sculpting by creating a piece that featured the bottom half of a mannequin covered in mixed media turned into what Amanda calls a “post-modern flower pot.”
Amanda was dressed to match her works of art as well, donning Betsey Johnson from head-to-toe with a black vintage Betsey Johnson dress, black Betsey tights with pink roses, and leopard print Betsey pumps.
White and red wine were served to guests in attendance, along with an array of colorful mini-cupcakes, customized M&Ms, and hard candy shaped in hearts and gem rings to match the occasion.
Amanda’s exhibit is on display until October 31st, 2009. For more information about Amanda Dolan, her work, and her private commission portrait services, visit www.AmandaDolan.com.
The opening for Amanda Dolan’s latest installation of artwork, “Precious Things,” will be on Saturday night, October 17th. This exhibit, which is the follow-up to “Call Me Crazy” and “Heart Attack,” is different for Amanda in the sense that she hasn’t set herself to a rigid theme. Instead, she has put together a diverse collection of her most recent inspirations – including more mixed media art, doggie portraits, and even some sculpture work which she is dubbing “post-modern flower pots.”

Last night (August 19), AMP3 PR hosted a private event for the tech influencers and trendsetters of the industry that featured a sneak preview for the up-and-coming website and AMP3 PR client, Blazetrak.com.
The site focuses on connecting aspiring talent with existing talent across different platforms (music, TV, film and fashion, just to name a few) for a fee that is set by the professional. In return, the hopeful singer, dancer, or rapper can get a personalized video critique and feedback from their professional of choice, letting them know what they thought of their work while they make money from the user-submitted material.
Three of the founders – Nate Casey, Ron Harrison and Corey Stanford – were all on hand at the event to show the demo to the guests.
The site is slated to launch on September 15th, 2009.
