Just think, Eric Glennie could be the next Yohji Yamamoto.

Good Evening Jack!   Thank you very much for believing in me and showing positive energy publicly.  I have had some wonderful responses privately, but publicly there are very few positive reactions.   More ridicule and jester than understanding.    As you can see Jack,  the "witch hunt" is still very real in traditional times and some forum members are reluctant to claim their acceptance of my style publicly for fear of retribution from the gallery.  Challenging the status quo is very difficult.  I am a man with dignity and the negative comments do sting , but I believe in my product and my imagination keeps me plowing through the adversity.  I am confident I am the future of menswear.  I just need to surround myself with wonderful people.  I am presently working with Cardeens and Paul Perry to manufacture my custom dress shirts.   

I am not trained nor studied fashion so my ideas are not tainted by the designs of my ancestors.   In fact, I majored in Biology and minored in chemistry and psychology.   I think up different ideas and use fabric as my canvas.   The patents are  to keep the jack-off, knock offs in check.  Any knock off designer that wants to knock off my style,  my very high-profile collar and cuff style , is stating to the fashion world he/she has to steal my ideas to be claimed a designer.  A knock off artist is simply committing business suicide by knocking off my products.  My patents claim precedence and is a great marketing tool to associate my name with my innovative, high-profile collar and cuff designs.  Court is way to expensive to challenge the knock offs because they have big bucks and I dont have very much money,, but I have that option to sue.   

You dont need a fancy logo or label to know you are wearing an Eric Glennie signature dress shirt.   The public wants to know where these designs came from and to be honest, I cant beat the competition to the market, so I have be smarter than the competition, thus the reasoning behind the patents.   Thank you for spreading my name out there and I seriously need to get my products on some high-profile celebrities or high-profile stores in NYC or LA.   Any help is greatly appreciated.  Cardeens is a wonderful custom shirtmaker with a great variety of fabrics and expertise and Paul Perry has my patterns on file.   I just simpy bring my ideas and customers to Cardeens and Paul makes the magic on fabric and sends out my shirts.

Jack ,  I am open to any ideas or suggestion you may have to get myself connected in the U.S. or overseas.   There are a lot more innovation in Eric Glennie's closet.     Thanks EG.

Eric Glennie,

Have you ever had customers?

Thanks Jack!  I am hoping and praying that I am not held back, but I need to get picked up by a designer or manufacturer that believes in my style to give my fashion a chance.  I love to design clothes and I have wonderful ideas, but I need a mentor.  I can take my ideas to a sample, but after that I am lost so I need help.  I dont believe the American fashion establishment understands my designs and is willing to give me an opportunity.  I am reaching out to the European fashion establishment to see if they are interested in my designs and willing to give me an opportunity.  I would love to do freelance work from my home with an established fashion house and be able to work with a great design staff and infrastructure.  Please spread my name around!  thanks eric.
