Luckily, I've been getting my focus back~
Not a whole lot to update on the work/project front. At least not visually. I've been sending inquiries to some different companies as well as posting on forums related to the t-shirt business. I've gotten replies but I'm still deciding on which company to use. As far as print-on-demand vs mass production, I think POD is the smarter choice for me right now. I don't want to push the financial investment too much at this point. Besides that, I'm also looking for all-over print capability and the option to relabel/retag. I also got some new samples in. Right now I'm mainly keeping things under wraps. Also looking into marketing and getting a business license.
On to the slice-o'-life! High Style @ The Legion of Honor:
The exhibit was on the small side, which is why they have timed entrances, but it was quality over quantity. Anyone who is interested in fashion should definitely go. The photographs don't do it justice. The level of detail on the garments and the intricacies of the draping and construction were really inspiring. Honestly, high-end womenswear isn't even my focus anymore but I still found it to be really interesting and inspiring. Anyway, I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.
I did check out the rest of the museum to make the most of the ticket price. But I'll post about that some other time. So yeah I was just chilling around the grounds after that and then I took a trip to Chinatown to check out this pet store there. I wanted to buy my dad a Silver Arrowana (an exotic fish) but he doesn't have the tank ready at the moment so I passed. On my way to the train station I passed by the tattoo parlor that I got my first tattoo at and kind of on a whim I decided to step inside. Had a chat with Mario, the guy who did my first tattoo, and told him my ideas for my next one and decided to make an appointment to get started on it! Also, cute tattoo chick there said she liked my shirt hahaha ^^;
Anyway, trying to take it easy because I have work really early tomorrow (today technically since I'm writing past midnight). Yeah I can't wait to get out of retail so I can have my weekends back @_@. Been working on my cover letters so hopefully that will help in my job search!
OK, hopefully within my next couple of updates I'll have the t-shirt store launched! Happy 4th of July!!
