Other Fashion Losses

Last year, I was working for a catalog called Lew Magram...I thought I had found an opportunity that I thought would not come about after moving from Tucson.  It turned out that that job was not all it seemed it would be and I left last January to start a new career freelance...well, I found out this weekend that Lew Magram has been cut and is no longer around.  I think in the long run, it was a great move for me to have left when I did...sad to say, that the catalog is now gone.

Another loss from my past fashion career path is Bill Blass New York.  I worked in a trunk show environment that happened once a quarter...hopefully Bill Blass couture will rise again and not get lost in the economy.  It's sad to lose the legacy of an American designer.

Old Ways Become New Again, With Shopping That Is...

I have always loved the way women shopped in the 50's...it was a grand event that you had to be invited to...kind of like how fashion week used to be...but, there is a new arrival to how women can shop and it is called a trunk show...now I know everyone has heard of a trunk show and maybe even attended one at a department store.  But, this is different.  Bill Blass New York, is a new division of Bill Blass that will be taking on a new method to selling clothing.  Selling will only take place in the New York Showroom or at exclusive trunk shows by appointment only with consultants in a location near you four times a year.  There are even job opportunities for you to explore to work with a design house in New York if there are no reps in your community.  There nothing but endless opportunities with this new way to shop.  Look for a Bill Blass New York Trunk Show in your area at www.billblassnewyork.com or be invited:)
