NobleWorks Partners With Chris March

NobleWorks takes humor to new heights with the introduction of greeting cards from Chris March Design. Chris March is a New York City-based costume and fashion designer best known as the fan favorite with the big laugh from Season 4 of the television show “Project Runway.”

The initial launch of eight everyday cards and one Christmas card features full-color photographic images of giant wigs, skyscraping headpieces, outlandish costumes and crazy couture showcasing March’s creations of the last 25 years. These outrageous images are paired with humorous messages sure to make customers laugh their heads off! The cards retail for $2.95 each and are available for immediate shipping.

March to Appear at National Stationery Show
Chris March will appear on Sunday, May 16, and Monday, May 17, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at NobleWorks’ booth, #2456, at the National Stationery Show, being held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. March will be on hand to sign copies of his new greeting cards from NobleWorks as well as his new book, “I Heart Chris March,” from which the cards’ images were taken. All NSS attendees, as well as the media, are invited to NobleWorks’ booth to meet the designer.

Says March: “I am excited to be working with NobleWorks on my new line of greeting cards. I love being able to make people laugh and smile, and these will certainly do that! I hope to reach a wide audience of my fans from ‘Project Runway,’ as well as people who have never seen or heard of me (there must be some somewhere!).” March says that the inspiration for his designs has always been humor. “If a wig is funny when it’s two feet tall, why not make it three feet tall? Or ten? When they ask ‘How high is your hair?’ I say, ‘…how high is your ceiling?'”

Adds Ron Kanfi, president of NobleWorks Inc.: “We are thrilled to be launching this line of greeting cards with Chris March. It’s not everyday that you find someone who is so much fun to work with. Chris March shares NobleWorks’ design sensibilities as well as our kind of humor, yet stays within the mainstream.”
