to work for him at Porter House. Although he is president and business head, and she is vice president and designer, they share trips together. Because some of their clothes are made in the Orient, they often travel to that part of the world.
 
The best part of working with your husband, Regina feels, is that you are working for the same goals, and "the loyalty is always there." The worst part is that you are together 24 hours a day, she said, in the kind of tone that indicated she really doesn't mind. They drive to work together from their home in Forest Hills,and on weekends relax with their young daughter at their Long Island house.
 
Porter House has expanded from blouses into sportswear, but the Porters aren't interested in seeing it grow much larger. 

"We try to do a designer look at a medium price level," said Regina. "And if 
you grow too big, every store seems to have the same merchandise, and the 
customers are turned off. I know as a shopper, that I lose interest if I see the same clothes everywhere I go."
