Fashion Business Advice

Forty Years A Fashion Business Advisor.

45). The London Pattern Cutter  has over forty years experience providing expert advice for UK fashion startups. Today more and  more fashion entrepreneurs come to us in desperate need of affordable help, mentoring  and advice from experienced fashion experts and coaches.

Many of our start-up clients have  already had their fingers burnt in the notoriously difficult  UK fashion industry. The most common problems concern poor manufacture, or poor sizing. Although more prevalent in offshore manufacture, this can also happen with UK factories.

We like to encourage our clients to be involved as much as possible by learning how each stage of the manufacturing process works. We provide  various classes and workshops for this purpose.  This can not only help to keep costs down, but  promotes a greater understanding of how to set up and run a new fashion brand.

Based in London where most of our clients are located, we are a small group of fashion industry experts, mentors and consultants. All of our fashion business advisors are very experienced in their field. Our junior consultants have over ten years experience, while our senior  consultants have twenty to forty  years experience.

Professional fashion business advice can  tend to be costly for many startups trying to run on a small budget, so we provide our clients with a choice.  With the right mentoring and advice from the best fashion business advisers, you will get your business off to a flying start.

The G.B. Brand

We are great believers in the G.B. brand, and in U.K. manufacturing. While sometimes it is necessary to manufacture abroad, generally startups should stick with UK factories in order to keep control and add prestige to your designs.

 We  believe that the aspiring fashion entrepreneur should just get on and do it, rather than prevaricate – With the right expert advice and a certain amount of preparation of course.

But the best way to learn is to just start. You will make mistakes, but you need to keep those mistakes small and to learn from them.  Know where you need to spend money and where to save.

You need to know how to work with the pattern cutter and the factory to achieve the best possible results. you need to know so many things in order to run a successful fashion business. It takes hundreds, or maybe thousands of hours to research how to run a fashion business.

If you have plenty of  money you could just employ a team of skilled people to do everything for you. But many of our clients are running their fashion business part time, while still working full time. they are on a limited budget, but dont have the time to spend to research everything thoroughly.

We work  with some very experienced specialists –  Pattern cutters, fashion designers, graders, garment techs, and sewing machinists, as well  as  fashion business consultants.

Fashion Startup Workshops. 

We run a very popular fashion startup workshop for anyone starting out as a fashion business entrepreneur who would like to learn the ins and outs of starting and running  a fashion business.
