J Shoes & Carlos Campos
October 2008
In a world where the latest buzz is all about “design collaborations” it’s refreshing to see one that is seamlessly and intrinsically linked with outstanding results. Carlos Campos is fast becoming a star-on-the-rise with his modern menswear collections featuring well-tailored pieces constructed using exceptional fabrics. His latest collection for Spring 2009 is a study in luxe sportswear with clean shapes, attention to detail and a clean palette of eggshell grey, crisp white and electric blue.

The matching shoe collection by J Shoes features all the same colors in patent, leather, canvas and the collection’s feature patterned fabric from as a highlight. Using J Shoes signature hand-crafted philosophy this collection merges function with form creating a new style of shoe that is neither classic nor casual but a comfortable in-between. The result is innovative, luxe footwear that just seems to “work” without trying too hard! – Kate Vandermeer

MICA Students Repurpose J SHOES

By Bret McCabe City Paper- Baltimore

A few weeks back J Shoes, whose corporate offices are based in Owings Mills, offered the Maryland Institute College of Art's Fibers Department the opportunity to re-purpose single shoes left over from its design samples. The proposed question:"Could a contemporary shoe be transformed into an entirely different object with an entirely different purpose?"

Sixteen undergrads accepted the challenge, and their resulting creations debuted last night in the Rosenberg Gallery on the second floor of the Brown Center. And what the students came up with--which range from the fashionably practical, such as gloves and hats and corsets, to entire dresses and even some outlandishly imaginative pieces--are fun, inventive, and witty. Personal faves include Samuel Shea's "Animal Mask," which looks like the patchwork rococo attempt of an okapi to camouflage itself as a camel (and was named the contest winner), and Cassie Gretshcel's "Eye Protection," which brings to mind what a Readymade-reading Penelope Pitstop might wear to match her handmade driving gloves in a road race around Iceland. The show runs through Oct. 15.

A shoe on your foot may be just a shoe. But a shoe in the hands of a student at Maryland Institute College of Art, in Baltimore, may become a dress, some gloves, an animal mask or even binoculars.J Shoes, an international shoe manufacturer, recently asked students in a costume design class at MICA’s fiber department a question: “Could a contemporary shoe be transformed into an entirely different object with an entirely different purpose?”

The project was sparked when the shoe company, based nationally on Cronridge Drive in Owings Mills, was deciding what to do with the hundreds of half-a-pair of shoes they received for testing from the company factory in Thailand....

They had three weeks to complete their creations, which were then displayed in the Brown Center on Oct. 1.The students’ work was also judged by a panel consisting of the chairwoman of the fiber department, the editor of Style Magazine and representatives of J Shoes.The top three winners received prizes ranging from a pair of shoes to $300 in cash.Students said it was a fun way to work with a variety of fabrics.“I liked that I had the opportunity to work with new materials, such as leather, and it gave me the opportunity to deconstruct and reconstruct something,” said sophomore Sarah Konigsburg, whose finished product, a bag “with a heel,” won second place.

Professor Jessica Ford said the creations were successful across the board and also gave students a more pragmatic project.“There was clearly evidence of a lot of work and I think the students were passionate about it,” she said. “It was sort of a nice introduction to marketing for them. At art school, they are sort of focused on concept and idea.”The J Shoes exhibit runs until Oct. 15 on the second floor of the Brown Center at MICA, 1300 Mount Royal Ave., in Baltimore.

How many small brands offer both internships & when business permits full time employment.

And of those, how many offer international business / career paths?

Murphy / Juan Archictects

One of my all time favorite airports. For those who dig interior design and architectural you will appreciate the nuances associated with Bangkok's international airport.

I've already posted the quick facts about this impressive site. I'm excited to share the photographs I snapped from this past week's trip. Giving credit where it is due: the SUVARNABHUMI airport was designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects

The airport has 2 parallel runways (60 m. wide, 4,000 m. and 3700 m. long) and 2 parallel taxiways to accommodate simultaneous departures and arrivals. It has a total of 120 parking bays (51 with contact gates and 69 remote gates) and 5 of these are capable of accommodating the Airbus A380 aircraft. With a capacity of handling 76 flight operations per hour, both international and domestic flights will share the airport terminal but will be assigned to different parts of the concourse.

Four runways flanking two main terminals and two satellite buildings with a combined capacity capable of handling up to 100 million passengers and 6.4 million tonnes of cargo a year are on the drawing board.
