Starting a Fashion Brand Is Hard...
I'm not here to sugarcoat this for you, starting a fashion brand is no simple task. From understanding lead times to finding the right manufacturing partner- it takes both creativity, extensive knowledge of the fashion industry and business acumen to create a successful fashion brand. That's why I would always recommend to hire an expert to guide you through the process and help minimize potential costly mistakes.
Luckily you have come to the right place!
What Can You Expect When Working With Me?
Consultations
1:1 Consultations to help guide you every step of the way, as often as you like. From
brainstorming ideas to answering your questions- I provide my extensive expertise to help you stay on the right path and minimize potential costly mistakes.
Perseverance is key to a successful business, these consultations will keep you motivated and focussed on your fashion business.
Most of my consultations are virtual, however in-person is possible for clients local to me.
Design
Bringing your ideas to life is what I do best! With over 14 years of experience, I have designed highly successful ranges for dozens of acclaimed international brands. If you already have a clear idea of what you want, I always recommend pulling imagery and notes to communicate your ideas effectively. However if you need some extra help with your concept before we begin I would be more than happy to assist you.

Sourcing
Finding the right manufacturer can be a challenge. I have several factories I work with both in the US and overseas with a variety of capabilities. However if these do not match your requirements for your collection, further sourcing can happen at an additional cost.
Sourcing fabrications and trims is also a service I offer. Pricing for this service varies depending on the size of the collection.
Technical
Once your designs are finalized they must go into a tech pack so that the factory can create your collection. A tech pack is essentially a blueprint for the factory to follow which contains everything they would need to know to make your garment: technical sketches, measurements, details, color, fabric, washes, prints, trim, reference imagery etc. I offer highly detailed, industry standard tech packs to help minimize the rounds of fittings and adjustments often needed in the development process- saving you time and money.
In addition to this, I also offer fittings with a professional fit model conducted at my house. Clients may tune in virtually.
