PRLog -- Cranford, NJ (October 29, 2010) -What do you do when you are unemployed, have unemployed friends and have a passion for fashion? You put on a fashion show. That’s what these New Jersey friends are doing in New York City. Michael Porter is the brains behind this endeavor. Porter, a laid off telecommunications employee residing in Crandord, New Jersey along with other members of his team who are from Queens, NY; Union, NJ; Belleville, NJ; and Riverdale, NJ; have lost their jobs as a result of downsizing in these economic times.
“I’m a believer that you can make your own future,” says Porter who started his fashion career designing wedding gowns. His company, CTC Designs, creates Urban/
Goth/Rock wear to size 8x for such notables as: Ludacris, Skull Gang, Juelz Santana of the Diplomats, Rap Star Jim Jones, Model Alicia Ann Whitten, Beanie Man, Radio Host Wendy Williams, Music Producer and Radio Host DJ Dirty Harry of NY, Radio Host Russ Parr and NFL Player Steve McNair to name a few.
The crowd is lining up at his fashion show which will be held at Amnesia NYC this November 3rd. CTC Designs, in association with HTM Magazine, presents....Rock the Runway UGR Fashion Show & After Party. Two other designers have joined the mix including Ms. Debbie (Juelz Santana’s mother)
and Pop Culture Line. Ms. Debbie’s reputation for eclectic innovation, you’ll be surprised to find the clothes so…pretty. CTC Designs' UGR -Club-esque designs a palette of bright colors, leather and chains leaning toward the edgy side; and the Pop Culture Line will rip the runway, inspiring an immediate desire to go on a diet or shopping spree. These designers and celebrities are putting their own unique stamp on the industry today.
