With three years o f business suc­

foresee for his company in the next
few years?
“I want my merchandise to be sold
world-wide by 1997," Blackburn said
quietly. “I, can happen. W e’re al­

company that works hard. It j ust takes
a good break. It’s usually a struggle

The Marquis Ramone line was
helped out early on by former Port­

modeled 'he line at Blackburn’s fash­

Other celebrities are also wearing
Blackburn’s line. Members o f the
rhythm and blues group Rashnee were
spotted wearing Marquis Ramone
shirts in one o f their recent videos.
And Blackburn’s clothes were worn
by actors in the recent Damon Ivory
Wayans movie D on’t Be a Menace.
While his success so far is gratify­
ing, Blackburn said his greatest joy is
seeing people on the street wear his
clothes. “That makes all the work
worth it,” said Blackburn. “Spotting
someone in our clothes is by far the
greatest thrill.”
