Start-Up Strategy Sessions

New to the Industry?

Get Results in One Day

 
 

A Start-Up Strategy Experience Focussed Solely on Your Success…

Start your brand with solid foundations, original ideas and a strategy to enter the market.

 

Any of this sound familiar?

  • You have a vision for a fashion brand with little to no experience on how to make it a reality

  • You’ve had this business idea for a while but keep delaying taking action

  • You’ve started researching the industry but are lost amongst the smoke and mirrors or jargon of it all

  • You struggle to build contacts or make connections to get things off the ground and find communicating with the right people hard to come by

  • You have garment ideas whirring around your head but struggle to visually communicate them

  • You know your concept has what it takes to be successful, but the overwhelm of starting by yourself keeps you from making it happen

 This session doesn’t just equip you for the day, it supports you for your brand’s lifetime.

Features

 
 

Get initial design ideas instantly

As part of this experience, I will produce initial design ideas in response to our discussion, really hone in on your desired aesthetic and provide industry standard technical drawings for you to visually communicate your product to a pattern cutter or factory.

Fabric and trim suggestions and suppliers will be provided for you to move from 2D ideas into 3D garments in a simple but powerful way.

There is no feeling quite like seeing your ideas come to life through visual communication, let alone produce a tangible garment that epitomises your vision.

No more Google searches

Don’t spend any more of your valuable time stuck on Google trying to piece the puzzle together through a laptop screen.

I’m here to shortcut your knowledge and success by explaining the entire process of concept through to production in an easy to understand manner with no judgement on the questions you ask, the ideas you have or the vision you hold for the future of your brand.

I will support you, guide you and fast track your entry to the industry through provision of knowledge, contacts and smart design.

Select and understand a process tailored to your brand

There are multiple ways to enter the market, produce your clothing and build a business.

Let’s talk through the options before you, what is best suited to your budget, time constraints and collection details and ensure you can move forward from concept through to production with professionalism and confidence.

What’s more, I will equip you with professional document templates and explain how to use them (hint: it’s really easy!) so you can communicate accurately with your supply chain time and time again for future collections.

Want to save over a decade of your time understanding the fashion industry?

Common Mistakes I Can Help You Avoid

Unrealistic Expectations

Restrictive deadlines, boundaries with budget and even design ideas themselves that sound great but in reality won’t work. I can help you with it all and create a strategy in line with your unique situation tailored for success.

Approaching a Factory too Soon

Something I see all too often in this industry is start-ups handing their business (and money!) over to a factory all too soon without any preparation, professional documentation or plan and timeline in place to protect them from costly mistakes.

Launching to Crickets

It’s all too easy to get swept up in the creative excitement of product development and range planning, but when the day of the drop arrives, have you built and audience of fans ready to purchase?

This experience is for you if:

  • You need help establishing your customer base

  • You are open to honest feedback on your brand idea

  • You are ready to invest in your idea and make it a reality

  • You want to save time and money understanding the industry

This experience is not for you if:

What to Expect

Before the Session

If your application is accepted, we will schedule a date to suit your diary and a payment request will be sent to book. Following which, you will receive a client briefing questionnaire to be completed at least 48 hours prior to the call so I can deep-dive into where you’re at, the current problems you’re facing and your brand vision.

During the Session

The session runs over 4 to 6 hours with a break for lunch included. You can ask me anything during our call as I walk you through the production process, provide consultation on your business idea and generate initial designs in response to our discussion. You will receive multiple templates where I will guide you through how to use them and we’ll develop a clear strategy for your next steps in launching.

After the Session

I will create a thorough and comprehensive Strategy Report summarising our call with a tailored brand strategy to support you in the next phase of building your brand. You will also be able to choose a selection of designs on our call, which I will convert into technical illustrations following the session.

Frequently Asked Questions 

  • Although you will receive a comprehensive strategy report following our call which summarises our discussion and provides a clear action plan; it’s always advised you bring a notebook or open a Word document to process the information.

  • Following the session, I create a comprehensive Strategy Report alongside your chosen technical illustrations. This will be delivered within 7 working days from our call.

    You will receive professional documentation, templates and supportive materials on the day of the session.

  • No. This is not a product development experience. We will get the ball rolling with digital designs and I will offer in-depth consultation regarding your brand idea and the production process whilst answering any questions that arise. No tangible garments will be made. However, you will leave with the knowledge and strategy to take your next steps in creating your range.

  • Absolutely. We can split the session into two calls to accommodate both time zones.
