FrPrjkt phase 2.5 Brief

fRPrjkt is an experimental business plan that works with the idea that the people within the business, who utilize and or enable the business are the priority, fair profit is the result. Working together will enable the communication so that the business can develop along with the needs and wants of the community in which it lives. When people are first, the environment, social justice, cultural diversity and economic equity are components of equal accountability. As social connections, fair play, love, consideration and compassion are as much a part of human nature as is competition, bullying, war and fear; it is time to recognize the major imbalance of our culture and strive to achieve balance.

fRPrjkt believes that working can be part of finding ones highest potential. Meaningful work is a necessary part of healthy societies; as it is how we participate and give back to the whole and how we can create our niche in the complex modern lifestyle. When we understand that health is an interconnected reality we share with the living universe, we find a wondrous heritage we can honor if we decide to enable it with attention and action. FrPrjkt is looking to be that experiment, so that homo sapiens sapient may actually flourish and not just sustain life on this gracious planet.

FrPrjkt phase 2.5

fashionRIP Project is a multi-discipline installation of 7 chapters. It combines recyCouture, science & arts in an exploration of sustainable lifestyles that respects ecosystem balance, sustainable economics, social justice & cultural variety. Starting with the garments, the story grew and called for grander action. The fashionRIP Project is poised to become an experimental business. It needs to start somewhere.

.I believe it is relevant for transitioning cities to offer the local community (individuals, for profits, nons and nots) ways to interrelate and become more than a sum of the parts. We are in a great period of change as our ability to understand the human impacts to natural processes has advanced along with our technology. We now understand that our lives have been enabled by the natural services provided by the air, water and mineral cycles, the flora and the fauna that have participated in the evolution of this planet. We are finding ways to minimize future damage and clean up the mess we made. We realize that our own species also needs healing. The fashionRIP Project’s mission is to explore ways to enable that healing in a business format. I believe it is the responsibility of each person to be mindful of others and the whole. A business can implement that same regard.

We need economic equity so that all humans may realize their full potential. We need to explore possibilities and expand the beliefs our species relied upon as we now know that we truly are in this “life” together along with energies and forces we are only beginning to understand. It is this attempt to heal and reconcile the differences while creating ways to enable meaningful work for today that propels fashionRIP Project.

The plan: FrPrjkt
Share location as in to buy a building as a co-op but maintain individual business models with in the space. This will maximize learning potential and resource development for other similar start ups.

Fr Projkt needs studio space, some dedicated to fashionRIP, so the message can evolve as i/we learn. Workshops’ for skill teaching and sharing, active promotion for people working, teaching and/or taking classes at fRProjkt, gallery, presentation (good space for local talent to flourish) and retail spaces. Will do contract and freelance options (health plan needs to be implemented) and in house marketing for other sustainable businesses and groups. This is about doing many things, so that each thing can be informed by outside brilliance. Understanding the connections will optimize possibilities. The narrow expert is not gone, it is just not the only way to be amazing.

By helping each other we help ourselves become economically stable. Cooperation will be valued over competition as humans are capable of both, we need to understand how to create the healthy balance, that is why fRProjkt is an experimental business it is built to optimize ideas and grow with them The informal research is another component of fRProjkt.as that informs the art which informs the marketing business and …ahah! Organic (bio) pattern cycles.
