I visited my auntie 88 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: up north in San Francisco area.

She said sure and went in the trunk 92 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: and gave me some fabric, and I cut a pair 93 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: of shorts in a band Danna and sat on that 94 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: star machine and sewed. Because my mom had been slowing 95 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: for many years, I used to watch her make evening 96 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: gowns for her social and charity club. So from that 97 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: point I just continued sowing on and by the time 98 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: I got to junior high school, I was making more 99 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: difficult patterns usually so so you were saying that early 100 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: on when your seven was kind of like imitating your 101 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: mom just yes, yes, well, just taking on something that 102 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: I saw saw I watched hergers, but she used the 103 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: design used to do gowns, uh, make gowns for her 104 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: social and charity gloves and it made people happy, to 105 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: make people smile when they when they sell you.

Yes, And 109 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: then I started taking on the craft as well, and 110 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: more I got into it. The more just just was 111 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: like amazing to me to be able to create various 112 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: things that I loved, and I use patterns, and so 113 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: I got got more and more complicated in terms of 114 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: the patterns I was using. I start using Vogue Vogue 115 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: patterns um out of the Vogue book, and that really 116 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: takes you to a more different level of patterns that 117 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: you can make things. So that was really exciting for me. 118 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: By the time I got up to high school, I 119 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: was doing complicate the Vogue patterns. Now, when you say 120 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: that those are layered right, layered patterns, they kind of 121 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: like it's not like a straight just a cut correct 122 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: when you say vogue patterns well patterns, meaning that you 123 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: could have a style that you go through a style 124 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: book because a style, and then actually buy the pattern 125 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: to make that style like your fabric what you wanted 126 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: to look like, but you actually cut it according to 127 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: that pattern and duplicates what you see on the picture. 128 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: So it's actually the pattern that are the pieces that 129 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: you cut to create the carmit. So now you're out there. 130 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: You know you you're in high school. Now how are 131 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: you dressing? Angela?

So you watch your mom, Angela, 173 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: and so your mom, see how I love the fact 174 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: that you said you saw the beginning, the middle, and 175 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: the end, and that's that's that's a really a special 176 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: your moment for you to see because you know, I 177 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: would see my father go to work, he'd come back 178 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: to it. I never saw the middle. All I know, 179 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: he was just working all day. I know he had 180 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: to go to work. He knew he had to go 181 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: to work. He'd come back sometime he was happy, sometimes 182 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: he was said. So I never saw the results of 183 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: what got him to that level. And so to watch 184 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: your mom start something creatively, just take some material and 185 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: they start, and then you see people come pick it 186 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: up and go and do you see the reaction to 187 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: you and your mom get paid for that activity that 188 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: had to be really unique for you as a growing 189 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: young lady. It definitely was. It definitely was. She inspired me. 190 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: She is the inspiration of my whole existence as the finer. 191 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: She was such an elegant and beautiful woman and tall, 192 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: and the way she wore clothes was so beautifully. So 193 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: when she made something, you know, like I said, it 194 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: was seamed, uh events, so there would be a red 195 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: ball for everyone. All the women were red, black and white. 196 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: Everybody would wear black white. So she would make her 197 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: sure fashion special. Her dresses were special. And so she 198 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: sat there and was so then with the the elderly 199 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: lady from across the street and they would saw on 200 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: the saw machine and sold the balls. Pattern. So I 201 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: was inspired by her for having the style and grace. 202 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: Um My mom reminded you of Elena Horn or Nancy Wilson. 203 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: You had to think of who she looked like. Just 204 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: class class, this class. Yeah, So I kept that class 205 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: in my designs for forever. You know. That's kind of 206 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: what I worked from, where when you buy something for me, 207 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: it's the last for years and you could wear it 208 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: for years. Due to the classicness of the style, That's 209 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: that's what I love about you, because the fact that 210 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: you she she's saying a keyword, and people always say, 211 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: I always tell you pay for excellence, and you also 212 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: pay for longevity. And a lot of people are playing 213 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: when you go, well, you know Taylor too, Taylor Church, 214 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: that's kind of expensive, not really considering that, you know, 215 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna even type of shoes that you wear. 216 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: You might go through a lot of shoes or shoes 217 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: might be hurting your feet. Because I'm a testament to 218 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: the fact that if I would have been wearing the 219 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: shoes that I wore, I wear that versus college because 220 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: I ordered I will. You know, I ain't gonna bad 221 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: mof no names, but there was some names I shouldn't 222 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: have had on my feet. And I'm paying the price 223 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: for it right now. You understand what I'm saying, Angela. 224 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying right there. And so people 225 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: come up with you as you pay for what you're getting. 226 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: My toes are like if they could talk, they go, dude, 227 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: I told you, I told you about that. And so 228 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: when I look at your fast in your history, and 229 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: I wanted to let people understand your journey Angela, how 230 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: you becolled because a lot of people think that we 231 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: always see in Hollywood, we see the end results, we 232 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: always see the magic, but they don't really hear the journey. 233 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: And I wanted I wanted to just share some moments 234 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: of your journey before we really get into the fact 235 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: of your greatness. Your eatness is people walking in the room, 236 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: famous people, or famous executives or are noteworthy people in 237 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: life going. I want you to make that for me, 238 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna trust that you're gonna make it because 239 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to put it on the one 240 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: of the largest stages in the world. They made that 241 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: first moment for us when you when they dawned on 242 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: you did wow. Well. After I came out of high school, 243 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: I then um went into college and went to school 244 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: for fashion design. Came out about three or four years 245 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: later and went into the fashion industry downtown Los Angeles. 246 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: But UM, I wasn't really inspired by what I was doing, 247 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: because I was they had me copying T shirts and 248 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: UM doing things that I felt weren't in the integrity 249 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: of creating, creating and being a designers. More so, like 250 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: copying things I didn't think that's what I signed up for. 251 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: So I looked for the first uh first placed the 252 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: way to get to Hollywood, Like how do I get 253 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: to Hollywood to do something creative? And you know the 254 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: movies and TV and music gave me that freedom. So 255 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: I actually got to store on mil rows in a 256 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: two for about three years and uh had my own story. 257 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: Was a challenge because they end up robbing me in 258 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: I had to leave because I couldn't afford to stay 259 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: after they had taken everything. Um, but it was really 260 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: a challenge because the first black of designer, I believe 261 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: on mil Roads, world famous mel Roads. It was years 262 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: I know about the world famous Mayor Roads. Okay, yeah, 263 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: so you know it was a little a little wild 264 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: out there. Absolutely absolutely. I moved so I know us 265 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: a little out of my curve, so you was doing 266 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: some stuff way beyond it was. It was. It was 267 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: really an amazing journey. But at the same time, you know, 268 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: I learned a lot in so I'm trying to have 269 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: to say all the things about who you are and 270 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: the fact that on the store and that type of 271 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: thing wasn't the best thing to talk about. Learned how 272 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: to get a little quiet and not say so much. 273 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: So in many years I really didn't give the information 274 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: that was black. I had a name, there was a 275 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: Dean sign which was my company name, and wrote off 276 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: of that and did a lot of celebrities and famous 277 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: people from that point on. After I closed my store 278 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: UM and kind of went to more customs of creating 279 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: for the music and entertainment business for celebrities, sent album covers, 280 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: um magazine covers, stage performances, um, you know, red carpet 281 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: and those types of things for my specialty. So I 282 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: created my own lane as a celebrity designer. Most people 283 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: weren't using that term. Now everyone is, this is something, 284 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: this is some branding and all those things. I'm talking 285 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: to Angela Dean Um.

You know, there's entertainment businesses can 389 00:21:54,040 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: be very challenging. So I've had great, um, great relations 390 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: and ships with my celebrity clients. Um, the late Nancy 391 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: Wilson was like a mom to me and we would 392 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: sit lay on the bed after her uh shows that 393 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: the build more hotel, red Eye and cool and just 394 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: lay and talk about different things of life.

For those intimate moments. I'll never 399 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: forget what many of them. So I did try to 400 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: take some moments if I could, because I had a 401 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: lot of private moments with them. And it's really important 402 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: because I think that the reason I bring that up 403 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: because a lot of times we just especially in today's society, 404 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: with like you know, basically your phone's attached to your text, 405 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: A lot of people will just text or they could 406 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: just pick up a phone and tex Yeah, yeah, I 407 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: do that a lot a people next me and I 408 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: just I just picked a phone call and I say, hey, 409 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: you call me. Look, that's what we we we understand 410 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: that as mature people. It's just not good. You know 411 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Cool, What's what's up? What's what's happened? 412 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: Tont That's right? Connect and it really needs to do 413 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: and it really helps you because of that technology, because 414 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, you you come through a lane of like 415 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, I can use the word old school communication 416 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: was a lot of time people told you that they 417 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: come in and sit down and talk to you, had 418 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: these nice conversations and allow you to work through the process. 419 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: Now you have technology. First it was facts and how 420 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: there was email. Now didn't just take a photo of 421 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: something that sent it to you. So so, so how 422 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: does that affect How has that affected you creatively over 423 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: the years, you know? Interestingly enough, the technology has helped 424 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: me tremendously because I can go with my phone now 425 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: and shop with my clients in real time. You know, 426 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: um actually showed them the African real time to make 427 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: the choice in real time. My sketches aren't able to 428 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: do and send to them, you know, in real time. 429 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: So it really has assisted me, I think in the 430 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: process of getting clear and understanding what's available and understanding 431 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: what the process is going to be going forward with 432 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: the order. So I think technology has been a tremendous 433 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: acset um in the area of communicating and design for 434 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: sure with me and my clients. And I think that 435 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: that's what we're moving more into now today. I think 436 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: that's what this is about, bringing us more online, more online. 437 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: It can be a bad thing, but when we can 438 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: take advantage of the things that we have access to 439 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: today with technology, it is to our advantage, especially in 440 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: the process of creating. We're speaking about technology. Just move 441 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: on to your revolutionary shaped by a body. Got it 442 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: up in front of me, so I got photos. I 443 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: got kind of pictures in front of me. So walkway 444 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: through the step of saying okay with Sean. You know 445 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: I've designed all these clothes for different celebrities and everyday people. 446 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 1: How did you get into the body wear industry so well? 447 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: I've always been known for different various body types of 448 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: being able to create amazing things no matter what size 449 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: or height or shape you are. That's been my forte 450 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: and so um. The shapewoard marketad has been something that 451 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: I've you know, dove into because I was worked for 452 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: a laundry company some years ago after closing my store 453 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: where I designed the bullet Brow. Of course it for Madonna, 454 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: and I started using a lot of the my course, 455 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: it's underneath, um, the gowns and things. So it became 456 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: something that I was a go to for that building. 457 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: It underneath the gowns for ostar gowns and things like that, 458 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: and those in the closed gots of more we had 459 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: to use different fabrics and go in the stretching, and 460 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: so I just continue to work and develop it. It 461 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: really felt that it was important that I create a 462 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: shapeline that was for all body types. All of all 463 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: bodies are not the same all women are not the 464 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: same shape, and so the shapers are designed according to 465 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: the five most common bite types, which accentuate the areas 466 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: of those body types and enhanced and you know, take 467 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: away and realigned the shape um with the panels. So 468 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: it's something that I'm very proud of and it's very 469 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: unique and different, and it's amazing it transforms bodies every day. 470 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: It was one of my let me ask you this 471 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: about let me just about your body wear, because I 472 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: watched Steve. I have six sisters, so you know, they 473 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: were always four of them are older than me, and 474 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: so so I'm always you know, I've seen what when 475 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: you say transformative or revolutionary, what what is your clothes 476 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: doing to a woman's body, because you say bodies of 477 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: styles of all shape, Well, the tightening the weightline or 478 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: the shaper. Yeah, the shaper has panels in it in 479 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: the inside of it that's reshaping and doing different various 480 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: things to areas of the body. That need assistance. So 481 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: for instance, your waist, you want your waists to be smaller. 482 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: There's a panel to accentuate the waste. There's an area 483 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: that is a panel for the abdomen, so a lot 484 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: of women foot you out a little bit and has 485 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: a tendency to pull you in.

Through 489 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: the panels. They're assisting in reshaping the body. Then the 490 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: fabric is amazing too because it's supposed surgical compression fabric 491 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: that has empty microbial fibers to keep you cooling fresh.

You know what I like when I hear you. 558 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: You keep saying the word body type, which I think 559 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: is really coold to hear because a lot of people 560 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: sell stuff and they just tell you they're just trying 561 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: to squeeze you into a look. And you know, I'm 562 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: just I grew up. I'm I'm an old school guy. 563 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,239 Speaker 1: I grew up my mom when she wore girdles. You know, 564 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: and and and and so and so that was just 565 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: and she was just squeeze in there. It wasn't do 566 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: her body type, it was just she she was just 567 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: just just trying to reshape some stuff so she can 568 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: put on that dress. You know what I'm saying. So 569 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: and so that's what I'm talking about when I hear 570 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: because you're saying that a lot, which is really great, 571 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: which means that the customer comes first, which means that 572 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: you're trying to style it, stylize this to their comfort zone. 573 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying every time my mom walked out 574 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: that dough, but I don't think she walked out that 575 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: dough comfortable.

I think she just 576 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: won't out that that they're trying to hold up to 577 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: hold to get through the day for being squiper. But well, 578 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: the thing is, that's what's great and why my shapers 579 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: are identified as revolutionary right, um, because the fabric is 580 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 1: where all was the magic is today we have like 581 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: I said before earlier, Um, a lot of times the 582 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: fabrics weren't conducive to what I needed. As close change 583 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: and got thinner and more, you know, closer to your body. 584 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: You couldn't use all the boning and all the stiff 585 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: things that of course it would take, so you needed 586 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: more comfortable fabrics, and so that post surgical fabrics became 587 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: a go to for me to create the shaper so 588 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: that it wouldn't feel like you say and your mom 589 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: would feel it makes struggle to get it on. When 590 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: you get it on, there's a comfortability to it that 591 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: just moves with your body and flows and has a 592 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: has a great feeling of security and and pulling in 593 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: and compression, but it's in a comfortable way.
