Fashion designer Alexander McQueen dies aged 40

I refused to eat the shark fin soup. It sounds crazy, but I’m convinced that played a major role in the recent loss of my design job. Over the past fifteen years, I have held some rather difficult jobs and worked with some seriously crazy people. It’s definitely been character building, to say the least. I had been working in my latest role for just over eight months and I walked on egg shells every day because I feared that I could lose my job at any moment. I knew it was coming, the pattern had long been established.

Check Out Our New Flyers!

We teamed up again with our good friends over at the artofsayinghello.com, a company branding service, who helped us design our NEW flyer.

We just got them back last week and wanted to show you guys. Our good friends over at the artofsayinghello.com, a company branding service, helped us design and print our card. We wanted a card that was fun, minimal, and made a statement.

“The heart and soul of New York city.” “The key to a diversified economy,” “an education, nurturing young designers,” “the hub of my fashion life,” Whatever words they chose, each impassioned speaker at today’s Save The Garment Center rally took the same message to the microphone. The garment industry is an essential part of New York’s history, and may hold the answer for saving New York’s economy.

PinkyShears coverage of New York City’s Save The Garment Center Rally will be posted later today, with photos and video from the event.
