| Alberto Makali
The Alberto Makali
collection was launched over a decade ago in NY City's
Garment District. The original collection
consisted of item-driven novelty pieces and was
immediately accepted by the fashion conscious consumer.
As trends changed, Albert created a successful line of
embellished suiting and related separates, which would
eventually become known as Alberto Makali Sportswear.
This line was the driving force behind his decision to
open a knit and blouse division called Alberto Makali
Tops. He would soon follow with Alberto Makali
evening dresses, AM contemporary, and Alberto Makali
Outerwear, creating a loyal customer following across
the United States and abroad. His newest line of
day dress, I AM, made its debut in the Spring of 2007 as
the perfect complement to his existing collections.
Baby
Phat
In less
than a decade, Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons has
positioned itself in the world of fashion as the
premiere female hip-hop brand. Sassy, sexy, and stylish,
Baby Phat first hit the scene as a publicity tool when
tiny tees with the clever name Baby Phat were produced
to electrify a Phat Farm runway show. When celebrities,
supermodels and tastemakers began wearing the baby tees,
a phenomenon grew, and a decision was made to launch an
entire Baby Phat sportswear collection. A lifestyle
brand was born.

Tail

in Santa Monica, California, in 1991, by Dick Cantrell,
this premium sportswear and denim fashion house stands
out in the crowd because of its delicious color palette

Lacoste
In
1933, René LACOSTE and André GILLIER, the owner and
President of the largest French knitwear manufacturing
firm of that time, set up a company to manufacture the
logo-embroidered shirt. The champion had designed this
for his own use on the tennis court, as well as a number
of other shirts for tennis, golf and sailing - as can be
seen in the first catalogue, produced in 1933.
To the
best of our knowledge, this was the first time that a
brand name appeared on the outside of an article of
clothing - an idea which has since become extremely
successful.
This
shirt revolutionized mens sportswear and replaced the
woven fabric, long-sleeved, starched classic shirts.The
first LACOSTE shirt was white, slightly shorter than its
counterparts, had a ribbed collar, short sleeves with
ribbed bands and was made of a light knitted fabric
called "Jersey petit piquéIt continues to offer the same
quality, comfort and solidity on which it built its name
and which constitute its uniqueness.

world by providing luxurious, interchangeable cotton
outfits. Through a unique garment-dye process, XCVI is

Itching to expand her horizons beyond theater direction
and acting, Gita Zeltzer began conceptualizing XCVI in
the mid 1990's. She was influenced by the multi-layered
and multi-ethnic cultural feel of Los Angeles, and she
saw the "urban chaos" as a muse. Gita was inspired by
the spirit of what others considered "everyday." In
creating XCVI, she discovered that contemporary fashion
was a new and dynamic space for her artistic expression.
