I do a lot of work for Franco Uomo and San Francisco Shirt Company – both high-end clothing designers with stores in Santana Row. Angelina, the manager at SF Shirt Co., was involved with a cocktail party fashion show preceding Intero’s 8th Annual Achievement Awards at The Fairmont Hotel, San Jose. Wow that was a […]

My friends at Franco Uomo just opened their new business at Santana Row – and it’s called San Francisco Shirt Company. It’s high-end, fashionable, and mostly for the ladies. I took some interiors and details of the store last week, and today was the official grand opening, replete with a red carpet fashion show (models […]

Franco Uomo’s got a brand new bag – or rather, clothing store – at Santana Row. It’s called San Francisco Shirt Company, and it’s hot. In fact, they’re having a fashion show on December 16, 2010 to celebrate the grand opening of the new store, and I have a few photographs to show you blog […]

One of the defining characteristics of Franco Uomo’s fine men’s clothing is the material used to make it. The colors, the subtle (and not so subtle) patterns, and most especially the luxurious texture. All these elements combine to create truly unique garments that keep discerning clients coming back time and again. We wanted to have […]

Franco has a bunch of new clothes to show off, and since he’s already located at beautiful Santana Row, it stands to reason that we’d do our fashion shoot here. Every alley is a gem, with beautiful textured wood and vibrant paint. It’s tough to take a bad photo with all the wonderful backdrops to […]

Franco asked me to design some posters to advertise his men’s clothing clothing store – the posters (approximately 24″ x 27″) will be displayed around Santana Row on self-supporting metal stands at strategic locations. I’m leaning towards the single-photo versions as they are more direct and eye-catching to the casual shopper. I kept the design […]

I love Franco Uomo’s clothing. From an aesthetic standpoint, it’s damn sharp, damn sexy-looking men’s clothing. From a design perspective, it’s colorful, contrasty, and accented in the right places. After our successful fashion shoot at Santana Row a couple weeks ago, Franco and his store manager Angelina came to me with a design challenge. They […]

I met with critically-acclaimed clothing designer Franco Uomo at his Santana Row location to shoot some of his creations on our model, Jason. The store manager, Angelina Haole, was indispensable as she dragged the rolling clothes hanger up and down the alleys of Santana Row, all the while providing constructive creative input. Franco whisked in […]
