UNDER THE RADAR SOCIETY PRESENTS: MARQUEL 1823

4/12/2010 03:45:00 PM Reporter: Nasty Tai Boogy 0 Responses
MARQUEL 1823

For some, creating a brand is a way out of the hood, a trend that has over saturated the fashion industry with mediocracy. For others, a clothing line may provide additional branding to an existing household name. Then you have the selective few, who against all odds, take the passion for fashion to un paralleled heights, providing a presence while promoting prestige. Prooving that perseverence is key when facing any uphill battle, Anthony "Marquel " Williamson is considered to be the posterchild of prosperity amongst his peers and collegues.

Inspired by the opportunity to provide a person with confidence, and assisting in them feeling good about themselves, Marquel has set out to re store the once fashion savy L.A market, along with a host of other places. By building a brand that every day comsumer can comply with, along with attracting the eye of the upper echelon colture conisuer, Marquel will cement his footprints in the Fashion world.

The "Marquel 1823" line has been tested in the California and New York markets. Receiving nothing but positive feedback and purchasing inquiries, Marquel continues to supply the demand, displaying a wide varieity of apparel, creating the new "in" versus following trends of other solitified and up & coming designers.

Offering a spectrum of hand crafted pieces for male and female alike, (many of which are a 1 of 1) the leg work has a already been done as the line continues to gain supporters. The authenticity of a Marquel 1823 piece goes beyond its fabric or vibrant appeal. Each item is customized to embrace the likes of the consumer. Does this slow down the process? Of course it does, but the end result of a person walking the streets knowing that no one has this exact sweater on is more gratifying then running off 50 of the exact same T-shirt.

In the process of producing material, Marquel takes time out to display an ensemble of products, by not only participating in hi scale fashion shows, but by also providing various models and money makers with pieces, branding the line with some of the best in their respective industries. The sky is the limit for the determined designer and as time progresses and the not so promising industry regresses, the Marquel 1823 brand will continue to gain momentum by catering to those who not only look for what's in the now, but also those who can appreciate affordable alternatives to look good in.

JASMINE: Cherrylips Designs abbr. CDNY (Cherrylips Designs New York) is a lifestyle brand that is the epitome of luxury, wealth, beauty and happiness. The products are for females ages 14 to 100, who embody smarts, sexiness, and charm!

NASTY TAI BOOGY: When did you start Cherrylips Designs? Why?

JASMINE: I started it in Fall 2007. I created Cherrylips Designs because I had the desire to get into the industry and I knew I could make money by displaying my design skills on t-shirts.

NASTY TAI BOOGY: What are you future goals?

JASMINE: World Domination lol. I want to be in the industry for a very long time, I want to record music as well, I have a list of goals/missions and I'm checking shit off. I also want a hubby and kids plus a big ass estate in Queens.

NASTY TAI BOOGY: What made you want to be apart of the high end, contemporary sportswear market?

JASMINE: Nothing, it just so happens that the products I want to design cost more to make, in other words, higher quality products. The contemporary applies to us but we prefer to create something you've never seen before and pull from the past for a collection. So how contemporary are we? Like 65% maybe.

NASTY TAI BOOGY: What advice would you give to young females who want to go into fashion?

JASMINE: Make sure you do your research and study your craft. Also if your doing this as a hobby or if your trying to make a quick buck then find another industry because this is only for people who live and breathe it.

NASTY TAI BOOGY: Tell me what important lessons have you learned through your experiences?

JASMINE: Never, ever give up. Sometimes we try for reach goals that are way out of reach but you got to keep on pushing. Also just be yourself and do what makes you happy.

NASTY TAI BOOGY: Your still doing graphic work and your running CDNY, what keeps you from getting drained?


JASMINE: With my PCOS, I'm always fatigue so I just sleep as much as possible. I design for hours at a time, listen to music, avoid the heat, hang out with my friends and family, eat good, and that really does the trick!

NASTY TAI BOOGY: Where do you want to go?

SOMETHING NEW. SOMETHING DIFFRENT. SOMETHING RATED FRESH.

6/17/2009 12:00:00 AM Reporter: Nasty Tai Boogy 0 Responses
HIEU PHAM, OWNER OF RATED FRESH
Hieu Pham is currently the sole owner of Rated Fresh clothing located in Denver, Colorado. Just like the U. S. president, Hieu wears several hats from the designer, the promoter, and the maker of the clothing. He started Rated Fresh as a clothing brand in the troubled neighborhood of Denver, Colorado back in March of 2008. Then opened up a store to the public on August 8, 2008.

Where does he get his inspiration? God. Coming from a troubled past and growing up in the low-income section of Denver, Hieu says "God has guided me through everything that I've done. The meaning behind the Rated Fresh logo is: God is my shield, His Word is my sword, and I am the Ace of Spade, the best card in His deck."

Rated Fresh clothing is affordable and all students get an extra %20 off all the items. The most expensive item in the Rated Fresh collection is the bubble jacket for $35. Rated Fresh has items items ranging from tank tops, polos, v-necks, jackets and hoodies. Rated Fresh is all about positivity. They try to stay away from all the crazy skull and death thing like some other brands. Rated Fresh likes to keep things simple & clean with a positive message in every shirt.

In the near future he would like to expand to New York or California and work with as many of our youth and the young generation as possible. "I want show them that if you work hard at pursuing your dreams, do what's right and stand up for your beliefs as long as they are ethical you will succeed."
