Its a Friday evening. I just get back from meeting with my seamstress; showing her samples I'd like to work with, some of my sketches and Im rushing to meet a very important deadline for my trademark. The company I've registered my licensed business (V'WEAR) thru so happens to want photos of my garments and my companies logo attached to my garments. (In other words, they want an actual tag attached to my garments) Im rushing because they want it all by this particular evening in about an hour or two. So Im trying to decide how in the heck Im going to find something to professionally attach to my garments without it looking so cheesy. I always practice being the prestige, professional I want to be once I am a professional. (If you want to be a professional, ACT LIKE ONE NOW, so when you are one, its second nature) A light bulb pops into my head and I immediately head to my job at Macys. **AHA! They have tags! (Dont tell anyone this ;) Im running into the store, down to the particular level I work on (Mens sports ware) and my co-worker is curious as to what the heck is in my hands. (Mind you, Im trying to see if the tags will look right on my garments.) I show her this garment above and she tries it on. SHE LOVES IT! "Is it for sale?" she asks. I respond "Im not really selling them quite yet..." but she insists and is so excited and thrilled as to what this thing of a collar is around her neck. I eventually give in, give her a price and there you have it, folks. My first OFFICIAL CUSTOMER. It made me very proud. I had no intentions of showing anyone my designs or selling for a long time but look what effect it gave off. And, I might add, it looks great on her!
