The General Public

Like a reed in a storm, bold and modest, the General Public is a rebirth of context, bringing to mind that “quirky cool” middle school crush. Far from immature, the work of the General Public emulates a confidence that allows the off-beat to be universal. With a combination of photographic ambiance, curated friendships and humble design, the General Public embraces us all like a bff should.

The General Public

Raised at the junction of the rugged and the hopeful, Allison Reaves grew up cultivating a pragmatic core of Montana values and an insatiable desire for horizons yet to be found.

With an instinctive pull towards irregularity, Reaves finds unexpected balance between opposing themes - at times expressed as a simple design exaggerated in silhouette, a shy pleat hiding in an unexpected locale or a sudden burst of red amongst a pure sea of white.

In this honest space of synchronizing contrasts, perfection finds its awkwardness, harmony its spontaneity, and the individual, its community. It's from here we honor these two opposing poles, understanding truth is stronger if we have them both. And it's amongst this trusted and forgiving place, Reaves loyally remains.
