Do you sometimes dream of designing your fashion products?
Let’s look at what you’ll need to do by yourself.
Hint: there’s an easier way!
We’ll get to that in a minute.
You'll need a market + trend research📊, great taste to pick your first silhouette 👗, contacts to source your fabrics ☎️, cash upfront to order your fabrics 💰, a pattern maker ✍️, a supplier to print out your paper pattern 🖨, a cutter to go from paper to cut fabric ✂️, a seamstress to assemble your first sample 🧵, a fit model to try it on 💃, and then….
🤦♀️
Oops!. The first version of the garment is not what you had in mind. Don’t beat yourself up. The first sample is never perfect. Let’s go at it again!
Sample 2 ✍️ 🖨 ✂️🧵💃🤦♀️
Sample 3 ✍️ 🖨 ✂️🧵💃🤦♀️
Sample 4 ✍️ 🖨 ✂️🧵💃 🎉
Success!!! We got it!
FYI: Four samples before a garment fits right is an industry standard.
Let's go to market now!!! You’ll need:
A graphic designer 🎨and a programmer 🕹to build your website, a payment system 🪙, marketing material 📸, data entry 👩💻, and a marketing campaign 📢.
🎉
Hurray! You made your first sale!!!
You’ll need suppliers to: stock your fabric 🏭, make custom labels 🏷️, digitally print your design on super large paper 🖨, heat transfer onto fabric 🔥, cut your garment ✂️, assemble it 🪡, control quality 🕵, ship to your customer 🚀
And your supplier has to do all of that for the single unit you’ve just sold...
$10,000? $15,000? It’s hard to tell. But with all the steps involved in the first unit shipped, the cost will undeniably be many folds higher than the price you have sold.
There has to be a better way, right?
YES!
