As a designer my business philosophy is women, regardless of their age, want to look amazing but not compromise her personal taste for the sake of "fitting in" or rolling with the "right" crowd. Why is this important? Each of us has a unique personality. Through my embellished designs, washes/ finishes and my own personal creative flare, I change a plain basic apparel item, the same since 1802 when Levi Strauss introduced jeans into the mining camps, and I make them pop! ----------------------------------------------------------------------My first love started two years ago with Bling Jeans Company. I market towards the Tweens giving them an avenue to express themselves. I encourage them to NOT want to simply fit it. I encourage them to FIND their own identity. Not everyone HAS to be in the “IN” group. The uniqueness of a Tween feeling comfortable in their skin is challenge enough. I am changing my site, www.blingjeanscompany.com, into a more fun and personal way for consumers to shop. It will be interactive, a one stop shop to design a pair of jeans. And at some point Polyview may be an option through Facebook. What all of this means for the potential Buyer is increased sales, brand loyalty, and a “buzz”.----------------------------------------------------------------------I am also the lead artistic designer for Z-Street JeanZ, in partnership with Bob Rees, www.bubbleworm.com, of "Bubble Worm" fame. Bob and I met on LinkedIn and Susan Solovic, of FOX2 News, is our common connection. Bob had this idea to develop a line of trendy jeans marketing to NASCAR fans. We connected here on LinkedIn, http://www.linkedin.com/in/paulabennettaromando,  and voula! We are thrilled with the possibilities of working with NASCAR fans on a line, including 5 female drivers called "The Z-Street GirlZ”. We are working with Partrick Shelton, Marketing and Advertising Professional, Founder, Motorsports Professionals Group, on a 60 day comprehensive business plan. Legal representation is coming out of NYC to help with contract negotiations. Jeremy Mattison, www.mattisionweb.com, will be building our site as well as branding and marketing over the web.    ----------------------------------------------------------------------One other thing... I am blogging now!  Please check me out at, http://thejeanzscene.wordpress.com/ for some real time views and situations of a fashion designer and entrepreneur.  You will laugh, cry, sigh, and die for sure.
