The One To One Fashion Startup Workshops.
As these are bespoke workshops built just for your startup fashion business, your tutors need to fully understand what you need to achieve and to learn. From this information they would build your bespoke workshop, gathering information about special suppliers, factories and regulations etc.
This type of information can be extremely difficult to obtain on your own, without experience and knowledge.
The beginner could take months just trying to find fabric suppliers willing to supply small quantities of fabrics, or sample lengths. And even then, they can be way too expensive for a startup on a shoestring budget.
The workshop itself is two hours long. At the end of the workshop the client is given a full list of fabric suppliers (retail and wholesale), contact details for printers, photography, sewing machines and parts, packaging, labels, swing tickets, hangers, etc.
They get a costing sheet template specifically designed for the fashion business. They also get a list of focus group questions to help them get started.
Saving Money Effectively.
It is essential for any clothing startup business to spend money wisely. Some startups feel that they must get everything as cheap as possible. This workshop teaches you where it is possible to make great savings wisely, and where you need to spend effectively.
While it is not worth stinting too much on pattern costs for instance, massive savings can be made by strategic fabric sourcing.
What You Need To Bring With You
Feel free to bring anything you feel relevant along with you, including any design ideas and sketches you may have. Dont worry if you feel you cant sketch. We are used to it and we can reinterpret your designs for you if necessary.
You can bring any relevant garments or fabrics along with you. While we will give you lots of useful tips and information to take away with you, you may also want to bring a notebook and pen.
Fashion Business Experts.
If the client subsequently chooses to work with us to bring their designs to life, we can provide a comprehensive and affordable service from design through to production and beyond. Along with guidance and support. We only use highly professional and experienced fashion professionals.
Online Workshops
for those who would like to do the startup workshop, but cant make it to London, we can also provide an alternative online version. This video workshop contains all the same information as the face to face option, but takes place from the comfort of your own home.
