Designing T-shirts
Saturday 03rd of November 2007 12:22:45 AM
Before becoming the designer of her own t-shirt line, Amy Tan, owner of the label Amy Tangerine, designed a line of arm warmers that helped get her name out there in the fashion world. "I had a job dressing models and didn't want to keep removing my gloves. I crocheted arm warmers, which are similar to leg warmers, with a thumbhole," said Tan. After a local boutique decided to sell them, her career began to take off.Designing t-shirts with intricate embroidery that have been worn on many celebrities like Madonna and Keira Knightly and having them featured in major fashion magazines like Glamour has also helped Tan's career. Appearances in fashion shows and other events are likely to keep Tan in demand for a long time.
Expanding her business is also important, so Tan is now designing a line of children's clothing. "It's a fun and different way of doing T-shirts, a younger, happier market," she said.
Tan also said that her inspiration for her clothing has been from what she sees around her when she is at home or while traveling. "There are so many negative factors, it's good to focus on the positive," she said.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
