I am in the process of launching an apparel design company. All the fine details have been hammered out (manufacturers, production) and I am now looking for some talented people who would like their designs shown to the world.

If this is something that interests you, please send me a PM or an e-mail to mindstone at aol dot com. Everything from how you will be compensated to sustained relations with us will be covered if you convey any interest.

Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you all.

Wholesale Gucci ,Gucci(established 1904) Beginning life as a workshop producing riding boots and hand Gucci luggage this famous leather goods and fashion accessories firm originated as a leather goods workshop in Florence in 1904. Founded by Guccio Gucci, the first shop opened in 1922. His son, Aldo, moved to New York in 1953 and succeeded in creating new markets for the company's products, attracting the attention of celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor. In the 1960s the double ‘G’ trademark, designed by Aldo's son Paolo, soon became a byword for high fashion in both the USA and Europe. However, following 1977 Paolo's rise to vice-presidency and managing directorships of Gucci Shops Inc. and Gucci Parfums of America, a series of vexatious family litigations and tax irregularities eventually led to the selling of 50 per cent of the company's shares to the Investcorp, an Arab investment bank. After a further period of family in-fighting during the 1980s the Guccis finally lost control of the company to Investcorp in 1994. Since then there has been significant investment in design and advertising and the company name has again been successful in the international market place. on this website,we gucci clothing,replica gucci,gucci t-shirts.

Well im not really an illustrator but I do have a wholesale account with American Apparel which has been said to be probably the best quality in t-shirts. So if your interested in anything regarding that then that would be cool to work with you. Also I do get hoodies and many different garments from American Apparel at wholesale prices, if you do ever decide to expand to more than just t-shirts.

First, to GIBO, it sounds like you are going to be another competitor in my industry so... welcome! Feel free to PM me if you have any collaborative ideas.

Next, I just wanted to say that while American Apparel does have some very nice clothing as far as feel and durability is concerned, they are also notorious for having extremely unreliable sizes. They were originally our preferred vendor for the majority of our apparel but we are shying away from them more and more due to sizing unreliability.

Thank you all for replying.

mjordantmac, thanks for the offer but at the moment I am content with my supplier, but if i ever need to, I will get in contact!

Ergo1, thanks for the advice and I have sent you a PM.
