Who Is Apparel1?

Who is apparel1? While I can’t answer that question for you personally, I can tell you my opinion of him. Brace yourself because this person is so well focused and deliberate that the word professional is an understatement and Guru isn’t appropriate because it’s so over used and continually assigned to those who really aren’t Guru’s. So what terminology should I use to make my one word statement about this person? So here it is all in one word: astonishing, astounding, fantastic, fantastical, incredible, marvelous, miraculous, phenomenal, prodigious, stupendous, unbelievable, wonderful, wondrous, and a marketing fashion network Guru, oops!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you even notice that I placed one exclamation mark equal to the one word I used to describe him?
There are way too many websites, social networks, or weblogs that think they got it right, and most of the time we think they got it right as well. But after you take a look at Apparel1’s digs, you simply realized your time wasn’t well spent elsewhere. So after beating yourself up for the unrecoverable lost time, you will mellow and gather your senses and become ecstatic that you found his place. And after your long celebration is over and you’ve recovered from the champagne hangover, you can begin your exploration of planet resource. Of course this isn’t the real name of the site, and yes you’ll get the URL in due time Ok.
I probably should let you know that this cover story is about the fashion industry and designers of accessories as well as the business of fashion. When you first take a look at his “Fashion Industry Network” you say to yourself, here’s another social environment with a cookie cutter layout from Ning or similar, but believe me, it truly stops there. I believe in his selection of that style of layout because so many people are familiar with it and therefore easy to maintain which allows Apparel1 much more freedom to get what you really need, Information Resources! 
When it comes to information, you asked for it, and like that ole ancient Chinese proverb says: “be careful what you ask for, you just may get it”! And you will, I’ve never seen a site that dedicates itself to getting more reliable resourcing than his site. As an accessory designer myself dedicated to watches, I need to work with fashion designers. They are to valuable a commodity to ignore with all that inspiration and creative aura radiating from them. And let’s not forget that in their circle, they know every style and what online or physical boutique carry’s what, that’s viral if know what I mean.
In a short time as a member on FIN I have made some serious contacts and have seen the magic happen here, however, like any social environment, you get what you give, so give and give more! Also like any other social network you have to find people that fit into your realm of networking so that synergies can be created which in turn opens all possibilities.
About Apparel1: He has created many fashion elite websites and has more than 15 years in the fashion industry. But more important is his willingness to help you find your place in this vast industry. He personally welcomes each member with an unformed message and that says volumes of the type of person he is. Do you need advice on where to find pattern makers, women’s clothing, shoes, accessories, models, makeup, and photographers? Or are you looking for employement in the fashion industry, fashion schools, industry news, factories, fashion software, brands etc. His resources are enormous and right on. I’m glad to have found this site and I’m sure you will be also if your field of choice is in fashion design or the related industries. Although the fashion industry is very important to him and takes up much of his time, the most important thing in Apparel1’s life is his family. So if what he is giving us is secondary, simply imagine what he is giving his family! I say kudos and more kudos to a man that truly has it all. I never guarantee anything because it’s just not my style of getting my point across, but I will say check out the site and you will probably give a sincere testimonial about him as well “I guarantee it”.
