Work with The Fashion Business Coach

Whatever stage of business you’re at, I’d love to help you get where you want to be. I focus on helping small and startup brands to take products from initial ideas, through to production and selling. I’m specialised in the Womenswear sector and have a lot of experience with commercial fashion, swim and activewear.

An overview of the areas I work with are listed below and you can reach me here for more information, or for a quote.

Consulting and Business Strategy

Consulting sessions are private and tailored specifically to your business needs. Topics I’ve worked with clients on include;

• Starting a fashion brand - going from idea to production

• Finding and working with suppliers

• Production management

• Growing your sales

• Improving profits

• Pricing

• Sales and Marketing

• Range reviews - is your range saleable and possible to manufacture?

• Sustainable and ethical fashion, including fabrics

Design and Trend Direction

I love working with both new and established brands on their designs. I’m able to work with your inspiration, or I can provide moodboards and creative direction for you, it’s up to you. I invest in a lot of trend resources, so clients don’t have to.

All designs will be tailored to your brief, brand and customer. As well as clothing design, I can also provide the specifications that factories will need in order to produce the garments.

• Concept creation

• Trend research

• Moodboards

• Colour palette creation

• Range plans

• Garment design

Production, Sourcing and Working with Suppliers

Getting ideas produced successfully can be difficult. In my 16 years in the industry I’ve been involved in the production of over 1000 styles and would love to help you go from idea to production effectively.

• Translating your design ideas into a factory ready format

• Technical drawings

• Tech packs, including measurements, grade rules, construction, tolerance and more

• 3d design renders

• Fit sample assistance

• Product development

• Factory and fabric sourcing assistance {training, not done-for-you}

• Factory management help

• Costings and price calculations

• Critical path creation and management

Education and Resources

A lot of my clients are totally new to fashion, or are fashion students without any real life industry experience. The fashion business is notoriously secretive and it can be hard to get insider information. Aside from 1-on-1 consulting sessions, I also offer the following;

• Fashion Startup online course - this programme takes you from idea through to production. Click here for more details.

• The Fashion Sales Kit - tools to help you create marketing for your fashion brand that converts into sales. Click here for more details.
