HARRY ’ S + RAJIV
WHY HARRY’S? I HAVE THIS OBSESSION WITH STARTUP CULTURE. FROM THE WARBY PARKERS AND AIRBNB’S TO THE EVERLANES AND UBERS, YOUNG COMPANIES ARE FLOURISHING AND DISRUPTING TRADITIONAL MODELS AND ALTERING BEHAVIORS. MANY OF THESE COMPANIES ARE GIVING BACK TO THE WORLD IN VERY TANGIBLE WAYS. I LOVE THE IDEA THAT A COMPANY CAN BE COOL AND PROFITABLE BUT STILL BE A GOOD CITIZEN.
HARRY’S IS MAKING NOISE IN THE LACKLUSTER MENS GROOMING CATEGORY AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT OTHER VENTURES THE COMPANY WILL TAKE ON. MENS FRAGRANCES AND SKINCARE ANYONE?
HI HARRY’S. MY NAME IS RAJIV LAHENS, AND ALTHOUGH I KNOW WHY I SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT ART DIRECTOR, YOU MOST LIKELY DON’T HAVE TELEPATHIC POWERS. LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF. CAN I KICK IT?
MY 2013 STUFF I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT
RAJIV IS A CHAMELEON. IN MY YOUNG CAREER I’VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO WORK ON SOME OF THE WORLD’S LEADING BRANDS. FROM GOOGLE AND SAMSUNG, TO PEPSI, REEBOK COLE HAAN AND EVEN CHRIS BROWN (YES, THAT CHRIS BROWN.) I UNDERSTAND BRANDS, WITH DIFFERENT MESSAGES, AUDIENCES AND TONES AND MAKE THEM FEEL COHESIVE. I’D BRING THAT SAME SPIRIT TO HARRY’S ON DAY ONE.
I HUSTLE. I AM A SELF TAUGHT DESIGNER. RATHER THAN GO TO AD SCHOOL , MY 4+ INTERNSHIPS SERVED AS MY GRADUATE DEGREE. I LEARN BY DOING. FAILING. AND HUSTLING. AS A STARTUP, I IMAGINE HARRY’S MIGHT KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT THIS “H WORD”?
I’M AN INTEGRATED ART DIRECTOR AND DESIGNER IN EVERY SENSE.
