Take Five with Rachele Testa, Principal, at RTPR
1. What is your favorite sector of the Savage Senses brand?
My favorite part of Savage Senses is our one of a kind ready to wear pieces and accessories. The Water Raw Materials collection features silk georgette tunics and hand dyed linen scarves perfect for any look, day or night. Savage Senses uses a unique dying process that gives each piece irregularities that are truly one of a kind.
2. How has Savage Senses made a difference in clean water initiatives?
Savage Senses donates 10 % of sales to CNN Don Henley's Wine to Water which is a non-profit aid organization focused on providing clean water to needy people around the world. Nearly one billion people in the world today lack access to adequate water and 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation. At Savage Senses we work to raise awareness to these issues through remaining completely eco conscience.
3. What sets SS apart from other brands?
What sets us apart from other brands is that each piece is designed, fabricated, and branded with care by its two owners Waldo Tejada and Gary Nelson. They both are world travelers and have been entrenched in the fashion industry for many years. They're attention to detail and work ethic is flawless and it truly shows in each piece.
4. What types of events have you worked on for the brand?
For Savage Senses RT-PR helped launch the brand at The Jimmy during NYFW in February 2012. Right out of the gate, we were featured in Women's Wear Daily…which for a new brand like Savage Senses is MAJOR! Recently, we launched our latest collection Water Raw Materials, at Environment Furniture showroom. DJ Cory Kennedy spun great music as our guests explored the new looks and accessories.
5. Describe the ideal Savage Senses customer.
Our ideal customer is of course casual and chic but also aware of the role each of us play in creating a more conscience world.
