Conversation with Eric Glennie. His words the man himself EG

What is the philosophy behind your clothing line? My philosophy is to be a designer. Designers envision new and innovative ideas and I pride myself on inventing never-seen before styles. My looks are very unique and high-profile and you can tell and Eric Glennie design by its style and look rather than its label and logo. My goal is to become a brand without a label and without a logo. My clothes should stand apart from any other designer simply be its look. Distinction should be the mark of a signifgant designer in history and it is disappointing that fashion has become a popularity contest. The true designers are getting old like Valentino and Lagerfeld and the new crop of designers are rich and powerful celebrities promoting their names and logos.

You have received harsh criticism in the line of fashion, but so has

Marc Jacobs. How do you over-come the criticism? The media thrives and writes about critical issues. The media likes to hear the bad rather than the good because gossip sells newspapers and gossip is critical in nature. I overcome the criticism because I totally believe in myself and my work. Confidence will overcome the criticism and talent shall overcome adversity. Competitors like myself thrive on criticism because that makes me work harder to become better.

Where do you see your clothing in the future? I see my clothing becoming a brand seen around the world. My designs fill and unfilled niche of designing garments that are forgotten or afterthougths. Fashion has been all about designing a dress and there are so many other items like pants, shirts, and neckties that need style. I just dont design for the rich, but the average person. The average person doesnt have too many choices in style , execpt a logo or a label to relate to and identify with.

On your website, www.ericglennie.com, you stated "My passion is

fashion, but for 20 years I have made my living in transportation.",

has it been hard to manage your fashion work with your living working

in the transportation indusrty? How do you deal with the hectic

schedule? Transportation is my real job and pays my bills. I aspire to become a designer but I lack the money, connections, and infrastructure. I believe my talent and vision will overcome my adversities. I also live in MInnesota which has absolutely no fashion mentor to work with so I am climbing an uphill battle. I am awaiting that call from New York or Europe to partner with a company that believes in my imagination and has the power to take my handmade samples to the runway and showrooms.

I'm not sure if you know, but you have your own Facebook group. Do you

like the publicity, or would you prefer your brand to remain more

exclusive? I looked at Facebook and I dont think that is me? How can I tell if they are talking about ERic Glennie the fashion designer rather than another Eric Glennie.

What is your favorite fabric to work with? I have only really worked with cotton.

Thanks for your questions . S

Sincerely

Eric Glennie

Cotton Duck! I cant stop inventing and changing the future of fashion. Are you still working on the prototype for the revolutionary thumb puppet for those lonely nights when Jerry meets Harry. You knock me for cutting up clothes, but that is how protoypes are born. If you invented anything in your life, you would understand what I am doing. Prof Montiff! If you are the fashion and art master as you say, You would see I just invented the fourth dimension in fashion.
