About
Montage Clothing
Montage
Clothing is a New York based clothing company. We specialize
in hiring unknown designers who have a strong sense of design
for apparel. Montage Clothing originated from their lead
designer and owner, Greg Greco. Greco started as a graphic
designer building web sites, corporate collateral, annual
reports and other venues of the design field. While creating
a clothing website for a client, Greco earned a love and
passion for designing on apparel rather than your typical
print work. At that moment "Montage Clothing,"
was born.
Montage
Clothing is inspired from anyone who has a love for art
and design. By printing your artwork onto our garments,
we are creating a clothing line that personifies freedom
and personal style. Montage is constantly looking for new
designers who will be taught the entire printing process,
in detail, with Greco. We feel that there is no better way
to become a clothing designer than to understand, hands
on, how the process is executed. This creates a comfortable
working atmosphere and obtains the most potential from our
designers.
Launched
in 2009, Montage is a fairly new venture for Greco and his
team. Their main goal is to provide their customers with
affordable designer clothing which is unduplicated and original.
Montage
is also very intrigued by getting involved with their community.
Montage will hold charity events in which a donation and
opportunity for new and young artists exists. To receive
more information about hosting a charity event look into
our "Host Event" section of our website.
Testimonials
My name is Aliya Jiwa, and I recently completed one of your two-day screenprinting courses in Bellmore, New York. I wanted to write you a quick email with some feedback regarding the classes. Also, as a sidenote, I must say that I never write reviews, send emails or post comments about anything I have purchased or experienced. However, I feel compelled to let you know how happy I was with the class and our instructor, Greg Greco. Not only were my expectations exceeded, but the class was a lot of fun! Greg is super approachable, helpful, and most importantly, patient. His shop, equipment and
consummate experience really aided in the learning process. I even sent him a screenprinting question by email at some ungodly hour... and he answered it, promptly! I am so happy to have Greg and Ryonet at my disposal as I venture into this business. I just wanted you to know that I am so thankful, in retrospect, for spending 2.5 hours on a bus to get to my class. Thank you!
-- Warm Regards,
Aliya Jiwa
