 A graduate of the Institute for Higher Education in Accounting and Finance in Tehran, Iran, David Raminfard has a history of success as a residential and commercial real estate developer. David Raminfard has served as president and chief executive officer of Kaslen Textiles since 2010 and New Point Fabric since 2011.
Although the general public tends to use the two terms interchangeably, there is actually a pronounced difference between textiles and fabrics. Technically, all fabrics are textiles, but not all textiles are fabrics. Common to both the apparel and upholstery industries, textiles can be comprised of pure fiber, yarn, or fabric, as well as any combination of these substances. The label “textile” applies to both finished and unfinished products. Fabrics, by contrast, are always sold as finished products with specific purposes (for example, cloth for shirting). There are essentially two types of fabric: non-woven fabric made from fiber and woven or knitted fabric made from yarn.

 David Raminfard is the president of two businesses in Vernon, California: New Point Fabrics and KasLen Textiles. In his spare time, David Raminfard enjoys pop music, especially songs by guitarist-vocalist Peter Frampton. This musician’s achievements include Frampton Comes Alive, which for many years was rock’s bestselling live album.
Born in Beckenham, England, in 1950, Frampton came from an ordinary, middle-class background, marked only by his emergence as a guitar prodigy at age 7. Teaching himself blues, rock, and jazz riffs, he had already performed as a pre-teen in several groups before joining The Preachers, which was managed by former Rolling Stones bass player Bill Wyman. Wyman took the 16-year-old under his wing to front The Herd, which won him devoted fans and spun off several hit singles. Approximately 3 years later he and Steve Marriott formed the blues-oriented band Humble Pie, which garnered critical acclaim for two albums: Town and Country and Rock On. Moving on, Frampton played for George Harrison on All Things Must Pass, then reinvented himself as a solo act with a string of successful albums, including Wind of Change and Frampton’s Camel. His prowess with live audiences led to stardom in the United States with a 1976 double-disc concert album, Frampton Comes Alive! The record contained three of his biggest hits: Do You Feel Like I Do?, Baby I Love Your Way, and Show Me the Way. In retrospect, he reached peak popularity with that album, earning Artist of the Year honors from Rolling Stone and Billboard. Soon Frampton’s popularity waned because of a failed movie debut and an auto accident that nearly cost him his life. His recorded output became sparse, but he regained some lost ground by touring with David Bowie and released Frampton Comes Alive II, which created a following in a younger generation. Nearly a quarter century after the Comes Alive album was released, the disc sold another 16 million copies. Frampton recorded steadily, releasing albums such Thank You Mr. Churchill in 2010 and All Blues in 2019 (his last one). That same year he launched his final tour after contracting a debilitating muscle disease. |
