    My Angel Backers!

    WE DID IT!!!!! Thanks to you all, the Return to the Runway pledge drive has been successfully OVER-funded! The upcoming collection is officially BY THE PEOPLE- FOR THE PEOPLE! WE ARE THE JEANS GENERATION!

    I can not begin to express how moved and inspired I am by your outpouring of love and support. The personal impact I have felt from each one of your contributions is a powerful force and gives me great strength and determination.
    Your pledges have given Gerlan Jeans the financial strength it needs to continue to spread PEACE, LOVE, AND PRINTS ACROSS THE GALAXY! With the money raised from Kickstarter, the Gerlan Jeans vision can now be brought to life on the runway in ways I have only dreamed of!

    There are still 3 days left to reach out to potential new backers! The Road to the Runway continues beyond the runway and onto sales and press. All funds pledged over my goal will be used to help cover the costs of showroom rental, look book printing, studio resources and travel expenses needed to get the collection in front of buyers. Keep spreading the word and reposting the link..let people know that there is still time to contribute to the future of fashion!
    My heart is full with love for you all!
    XOXO Gerlan
