A message from me ...

Hello everyone... I really hope you enjoy the Fashion Industry Network. For years, I have been developing fashion sites and this is my first attempt at creating a method for members of the fashion industry to communicate directly with one another.

The idea of this site is for fashion designers to meet fashion designers, production managers to meet production managers, stylists to meet stylists, pattern makers to meet pattern makers etc.

You are welcome to promote your fashion industry product or service. HOWEVER, please try not to make it sound like a commercial. The goal is to make legit business contacts so that we can keep the world of fashion spinning. Again, you may promote your business as this is actually the purpose of the site. Please do not be too pushy with your attempts to solicite business.

If you see people abusing the site with non relevant information, please let me know and we will try to quickly remove their posts. We truly need your support to help keep this site beneficial for everyone. Please understand that as a user of this site, you are part of the team. Lets all work together to keep the site working as originally intended.

You can view my main fashion industry website at Apparel Search.

Time sure does go fast. I just accidentally ran into an old blog post that I wrote on the Fashion Newspaper 6/7/2007. Just over two years ago.

I am happy to say that the Fashion Industry Network is doing well and has thousands of great members that I am happy to call friends. I have learned much from many of the members and I think that we have all expanded our knowledge of fashion.

Shoe Prototypes : Easy Way to Create Shoe Prototype

Creating a shoe prototype may not always be as easy as it sounds.. Well, Converse and Z Corporation, certainly do make it sound easy...

"Speed matters if you're charging to the basketball hoop, sprinting for the tape or skating with style. Speed also matters if you're making the footwear for these purposes, which is why Converse uses 3D printing technology from Z Corporation to pump out bold new sneaker prototypes every night. Overnight prototyping helps the NIKE-owned shoe company, know… Continue

Thanks so much for the quick response! Absolutely, you can use my "face" icon for the group. Thinking a good overview of the group's purpose would be to discuss and share thoughts on how fashion illustration has developed and changed, hand-drawn vs. computer aided, how illustrators the designer's vision, and of course freelance/permanent job leads!
Again, I can't tell you how much this site has helped me push ahead on my goals - you've done such a great job, thank you so much!
