This video from Ralph Lauren tells the story of a wool producer from an Oregan ranch that has been a family owned business for over 140 years. It is a beautiful vignette and instills immediate patriotism!

In the video the narrator comments on the friendliness of the NYC Ralph Lauren design team. reversecommuter had the pleasure of working with these designers a few years back and I can personally vouch for the warmth, design skills and energy offered from this fashion mammoth.
Ralph Lauren should be commended for their creativity, design and vision of delivering the athletes uniforms that are completely designed and produced in the USA.
Instagram as a science project? Instagram has been helping a tech firm named Olapic and professors at the University of Wisconsin study marketing and the relationship between photos and online sales (file under SUPER cool!). According to their findings the colors yellow and blue increase sale. The filters available on Instagram and other photo apps influence emotional reaction to the pictures.
And here you thought your favorite filter option just made your skin glow a little more! Olapic counts Steve Madden, Bumble and bumble, Gilt, Coach, NastyGal, Veuve Cliquot and Vineyard Vines as clients who turn to them to pull Instagram pics from users into marketing data and mine it to increase sales.
