They were not willing to size up their patterns. Maybe the talent here is not up to it... their fabrics were only average and the tailoring lacklustre.<BR/><BR/>Then there was the 'retired designer' who turned out to have an unretired drinking habit.<BR/><BR/>But you have a good point and I will continue to scan the young talent.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-80748806554690653392008-05-08T10:30:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:30:00.000-04:00Sorry this is a late comment as I've just found yo...Sorry this is a late comment as I've just found your blog.<BR/><BR/>One really great way to find new small designers in your town is to visit the local fashion design or art college graduation show.
