NEW YORK, Aug 21, 2014/ — Enjoy your morning coffee & tune in tomorrow, Friday, August 22nd to CBS This Morning in the 8:30AM half hour.
Iconic American Photographer and Filmmaker Bruce Weber will share his personal insight into his latest project with CBS This Morning contributor Jamie Wax.
Bruce Weber gives a rare and intimate glimpse into his world by inviting Jamie Wax to his home in Montauk, NY where he muses over inspirations, dreams and his processes in his 40+ years career as an image-maker.
He also shares a preview of his collaboration with Shinola to create a collection of American-made pet accessories that define American luxury through American quality.
“I told the Shinola design team that my dogs have been barking at me for years about getting a new collar or leash, a comfy bed, some hand-made toys — like all the other spoiled dogs in the world. I said ok, but you have to start behaving yourself. I don’t want any spoiled brats around here. Since then they’re still wild and wonderful and they have all the loyal traits of a dog but they still run into our living room soaking wet and jump on the couch,” said Bruce Weber.
In the spirit of collaboration, Shinola is producing a portion of the pet toys in partnership with The Empowerment Plan, a Detroit-based organization.
The innovative charity hires women from local shelters, training them in industrial sewing and manufacturing to create a sleeping bag coat for the homeless which are then distributed across the American urban landscape.
The Empowerment Plan gives these women the confidence and skills necessary to lead a more sustainable, financially stable and healthier life.
Available this September in all Shinola stores (Detroit, NYC, Minneapolis) as well as Shinola.com, the new collection will range in price from $12 to $225.
