We need more of this. Someone has to take down and document the oral history of the old guard.
Thank you for this snippet.

Comment on People: Mario Bisio by Bill Lavin

Bill Lavin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:25:59 +0000

I have known Mario “Biz” for over 30 plus years. And I have to say that in all my years in this business, I have never met a smarter more honest “Merchant” than he.. I cannot tell you how much it is, coming from a designer standpoint, working with Mario and knowing his eyes are just naturally all over every detail in each design that so many buyers and owners don’t even notice. He makes selling and showing your creations an absolute pleasure… My thinking is this.. Instead of cloning sheep like we seem important to do, we need to clone more Mario’s..! How great would our business be then people..!!!!!
Mario is a wonderful Father, Husband, Uncle, and friend.. It doesn’t get any better…!! I love this man and I love his stores… bill

Comment on Equilibrio Pursues Patent on “Motion D” Technology by Bill Lavin

I have to say that Paolo has created something special here. I tried one of his Motion D shirts at ENK Blue Show in New York, as our booths were across from one another. When I tried on his Motion D shirt model, the fit was so incredibly slimming and so noticeably so, I did not want to take it off…!! I was very impressed with his attention to the fit fine points of this design coming from one designer to another. His eye for details and concepts in design is impeccable.. I’m a Motion D Groupie…! And once you try one on, you will be also… Trust me… Congrats to you Paolo… cheers… bill
