Day 3. After having my daughter and husband review my posts I feel good about this. Realizing it is up to me to spread the word gives me a mission to launch our line and the drive to make it work. It is important to try, no cost and a good way of getting out there, I hope. I am always looking through fashion magazines, going to the stores and just observing what today's woman is wearing, there is no doubt our pieces are fabulous. Suggestions are welcomed and when this blog starts to take off it will be worth the agony. Branding: I am so sick of hearing, "we only want brands that we are sure of". Who can be sure of any brands? One day you fall in love with everything you see and then other times you think, "what was the designer thinking when they designed this"? I see unknown labels in the stores, was the buyer so sure it was a winner they bought it anyway or was the designer a relative of the department store CEO? Well, we have no connections, no CEO's but we are determined we will be on the "wanted" list of must-have labels. My partner is generous, patient, calm , never raises his voice, has a positive outlook and determined to keep creating. He is always impeccably dressed, most of what he wears he's made, even down to the tie. Me on the other hand, a strong personality (some call it aggressive), good business head, have a way with people, (not all people) and willing to jump in and help at any level and I love fashion; we make a good team. When we first started there were 3 of us, you know what they say about 3, it was tense. Now with just 2, it is easy, comfortable and more productive; I am happy. If we could get someone interested in buying we've accomplished what we've set out to do. Then there is the part of who is going to make the garments. We want to make them domestically, keep our economy going. Just like our company the US factories need to stay busy and we are confident we can help. When my blog takes off, I will be interested in comments. I plan to post pictures of the pieces and hope it draws attention.
