Marikit, her couture and the model search!!!
Hello all
You are the first to know, Marikit has been really enterprising for a 6 month-old baby and will shotly be launching the first of 2 businesses. www.marikitcouture.com
Actually, I'm launching the first business in her name. Those who know me know that I like to dabble at a nuimber of things such as designing clothes. Pia and I have now put together our first collection. Check it out and let us know what you think. So far I've uploaded my shirts and suits, other items such as belts, cuff-links, socks will follow shortly. I'm happy to say that I 'm using many of the Philippines-based suppliers that service some of the biggest fashion brands in the world.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you my extended family members know why we've been quiet of recent.
All the best!!
Opps! Forgot to address the model search bit in the title. We're currently seeking models for a 'tacky' lifestyle sht which my Fashion Business Adviser thinks is essential. I cannnot imagine walking up to a lady in the sreet and declaring how attractive she is and would she like to do a spot of modelling. I'm sure many women have heard that line before.
Similarly, me telling bloke that he has great shoulders and bone structure...methinks not!Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

congratulations to both of you, very enterprising couple indeed together with baby marikit
I wish you success in your first business undertaking as well as for the next business venture you plan to undertake in the near future
By the way, the designs are great, very hip and current.....who is the brains behind those designs? hubby or wifey? great designs"10% of life is made up of what happens to you, 90% is decided by how you react"

Salamat amiga!!
It's a good business owned by a very nice Egyptian; a tad different to what we're offering though.
Thanks so much amiga. We'll give it our best shot and see what happens. We're currently seeking specialist stockists, so need good fortune.
I draw the designs but tweak in accordance with Pia's input. I don't want to sleep on the couch afterallBe responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

Are you going to model the shirts lad? I am sure it be better to see it on a person.They look so bare on the mannequin.
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

Thanks amiga. I'm having a few more designs made shortly.
Salamat!! Been so focussed on work and this in my spare time I've not had time to visit ere so much unfortunately.
Hi penny. Thank you for your best wishes.
Hello amiga. How are you? Thanks so much.
Maraming salamat po.
Hi Gary. Certainly the right models would look much better than dummies, so to speak. I had a number of shots of me wearing some of the shirts taken but my build is a bit heavy and i don't have the generic appeal that a model should perhaps have - a bit too ethnic methinks.
I'm currently looking for some male and female models to participate in a lifestyle shot involving some of my clothes.Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

I think you selling yourself short.Why don't you try yourself for a week, and see the response you get. I see your picture, and if I was going to buy a shirt there, I'm a big lad like you, it is better to see it on a normal guy than a skinny metrosexual Beckham clone. Plus your skin goes with the dark and monochrome colours. Go for it

Best of luck with your venture, Toks.
I hope you can get through these difficult months of recession.
Your shirts look nice, I feel decidedly under-dressed in my sweats at the mo., but I do like a nice shirt and suit at times.
My smart dressing seems to have fallen by the wayside these days with our work commitments. When I take my wife out she often gets wolf whistles.

Thanks Kimmi. Got so much to do but we'll give it our best!
Thanks guys!
You smoothie!! I'm going to chat with a photographer next week! We'll see how it goes!
Thanks matey! I'm certainly a casual type when off-duty. You make a great looking couple for sure. I'm trying to do it all on a limited budget as i'm trying to be clever rather than throwing money at the business. Hope it works!
I not quite ready for launch but am getting there!!!Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

Cheers dude. With Marikit, I have 3 people telling me what to do..including mum! Hmmn, short man and arms. Shorts?
LOL!!! Someone else mentioned that. I might look into that at some point. I'm working on my next batch of shirt designs now. Those will probably be priced around £130. They will be made by one of the finest tailors in Italy and are likely to be made from the best cotton available.Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

WOW! Congratulations, Toks & Pia on the forthcoming launch of your exciting new business venture. 'Marikit' ... what a novel :idea! We, your friends and co-forumers, are truly honoured to be the first to be told, and wish you every success with it.
*Well now ... it so happens that I've long had a hankering to be a [ahem] 'male model' ... (Maybe it's a throwback to my mother having been a mannequin in her youth!) Joking apart though, would you SERIOUSLY consider a tall, slim - but well-built - 65-year-old natty dresser with a keen interest in quality clothing for gentlemen?
