Monique Leshman is a one-woman dynamo whose energy, passion, and fabulous design sense that has enabled her to convert a bedroom-based, home business into one of the hottest international fashion labels in less than 3 years. Driven by the desire to express her creative talents without the compromises associated with working for others, Monique left the world of NY clothing showrooms and began pursuing her dream making costume jewelry in her home. She promoted her designs on the streets of soho in downtown NYC, and the public’s enthusiastic response allowed her to grow from one tiny table to multiple displays in less than a year. Quickly, Monique’s line expanded beyond costume jewelry accessories to include a wider range of goods including handbags and belts.

Consumers’ continuing devotion to her designs and the appeal of her products led her to take her business to the next level. Bergdorf Goodman (among others) picked up her line and Time Magazine proclaimed one of her designs the MUST HAVE bag of the season in her first year of business. Inspired by the extraordinary reception her work was receiving and propelled by a creative drive to go beyond, Monique focused on producing a new look, creating something that hadn’t been done before. She selected the clutch bag as her starting point and was determined to make her bags unique by making them in leather, embroidered with stones until fate stepped in.

Traveling to several locations around the world to find a company who could interpret her concepts for leather embroidered clutches into reality, Monique ran into a seemingly endless string of obstacles – no one could manufacture what she had designed. However, this worldwide search led Monique to a small factory known for extraordinary couture (rather than leather) embroidery work. She was inspired and transformed almost instantly. Monique developed two items, her Signature Tunic and a caftan, and chose to have them produced in 10 different prints. She presented these creations at fashion trade shows and received an overwhelming reception and the rest is history.

Today, ML is a well-known part of the NY garment industry and has grown to become an internationally known fashion house. She has the Monique Leshman label and then a secondary line called Opal by Monique Leshman, inspired by her birthstone that is intricate, and beautiful as her original designs, but available at a more modest price point.

Monique resides 2 blocks away from where it all began.

First Steps – Serving Your Local Hometown G1NBC TV
You have to crawl before you walk. If you don’t know where you are going any road will get you there. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. The list can go on of saying that people tell their kids, use with their co-workers, and give to others as business advice.

The key to any successful venture starts with taking first steps. Along with a combination of a good product, solid leadership, an effective plan and a little luck, the best of the best can succeed in America.

G1NBC is regarded by some as a large company. Others see it as a model that is unsophisticated and not clearly defined. Still others see it as an impossible and improbable venture to try and make local media using local dollars and compete with big media conglomerates.

We at G1NBC take our local motto of “Serving Your Local Hometown” seriously. That is why you see it on all of our Affiliate Station Sites.

The Global 1 Network Broadcasting Company exists to use media to positively promote and spotlight individuals, activities, and events in local communities in our world.

This promotion of local talent and networks will impact the way the world watches TV. Thank you for those supporters out there who know where we are going. We appreciate your contributions to our ongoing efforts.

We are in the process of taking our first steps on our path. We are aware of the journey that we face. We want others to see our path and join us in this process.

In the coming weeks we will outline that plan on this site. For now, we hope that you will continue to visit our sites and see how we are working to change the face of traditional printed and visual media.
