I saw your last Monday's blog post Designer Caught Retagging by Another Designer pertaining to me. One of my friends saw it and immediately told me about it knowing that I always ask KINGSMEN to do all the custom tailors of my clients. This is not retagging. I still can't think of any instance when a designer confronting me about this. I can only remember MB as the designer who bought a jacket from me. The jacket was pulled out by stylist PQ (not the designer) and I remember that she knows that KINGMEN does my jackets.
It is also not true that I said my dad is one of the stockholders of KINGSMEN. The truth is KINGSMEN owes my dad a lot of money, so the company produces my jackets to offset what the company owes my dad. My relationship with KINGSMEN cutters and sewers is that they execute my design, my specifications, my chosen materials and my proportions. The tag in the jacket must have been stitched by mistake. Whoever is Designer A, I am sorry that I did not tell you that KINGSMEN executed the jacket that you bought.
To sum it all up, I did not retag the KINGSMEN jacket. I have also informed most of my clients that KINGSMEN executes all my designs. I do the design, choose the materials and ask the company to execute it for me. I just want to set things straight because I am worried as to what people might think.
If you also check out KINGSMEN prices for materials and labor, a typical blazer would cost between 8t to 10t PhP. I even sell the jackets to my clients at a cheaper price because I want them to have the best deal possible. What more can you ask for, a jacket designed by me and executed perfectly by KINGSMEN sold at a lower price.
I hope you understand the situation. God Bless.
Yours truly,
Ralph Ng
