The Mullet. The El Camino. Koko and her kitten. Sometimes the most unlikely combinations beget the most extraordinary results.Born to entertain, Jared Reichert reigned over the family dinner setup from age five creating whimsical and fantastic tablescapes when most kids his age were working to master the ABCs. His sophistication and innate sartorial sensibility took him to Ryerson University where he graduated with a degree in Fashion Communications. The eternal pragmatist, Robbie Zweig looks at every inch of the world with a scrutinizing eye for detail and flawless execution. Built on a childhood obsession for towering Lego creations, Robbie worked as an architect in New York after graduating from the University of Virginia School of Architecture. While seemingly from contrasting worlds, these two unlikely friends found common ground in creating jaw-dropping, memorable, luxury retail experiences. First at Gucci and later Tom Ford, Robbie made the environments and Jared made them come to life. With over thirty years of combined experience in event planning, fashion and interior design, Jared and Robbie channel their myriad talents and shared passion for authentic social connection to deliver perfectly curated IRL experiences in a digital environment.
