KICK relaunches boutique jewelry brand Gabriel & Co. NY KICK Design has redefined and rebranded Gabriel & Co. New York’s entire five division boutique jewelry experience. Starting with their bridal division, KICK conceived and created a provocative campaign that redefines “Engaged,” focusing on the deep emotional connection between two people “engaged” in one another. KICK then translated this concept into a stylish, yet informative and easy-to-navigate web experience. From diamond cut and carat to settings and styles, the web site guides the viewer through the process of picking their perfect engagement ring, at gabrielengaged.com. Based on the critical success of the “Engaged” campaign, KICK was commissioned to rebrand all of Gabriel & Co.’s five divisions, giving each a distinctive look and voice. Through GabrielNY.com, each division’s jewelry is presented in an innovative and striking format that makes browsing through their thousands of items as easy as navigating pictures on Facebook or music on an iPod. KICK’s advertising, promotion, and web redesigns exude a chic, fresh attitude, giving a smaller national jeweler a world-class identity and web experience.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit and the KICK connection This summer the entire KICK team took an inspirational trip to the “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a fantastic and breathtaking body of work - from his bold vision and craftsmanship to his outrageous use of materials and scale. The immense drama of the collections was enhanced further by the use of his quotes throughout, which provided additional and new insights into his genius.We’ll share our fun connection to the late, great McQueen: At the end of his Spring/Summer show in Paris ‘07, he appeared on the runway wearing one of our vintage designs for Mickey & Co by J. G. Hook! Mickey & Co. by J.G. Hook was the first fashion apparel and accessory brand to bring classic Disney characters to an upscale junior, adult and later kid audience. After leaving Mickey & Co. to start KICK Design, Jabbour and Chow counted Disney among their very first clients, and KICK still has a close and important relationship with Disney to this day.
