**MAY** Fashion Consultation
Fashion Consultation
Your first point of action when starting a fashion label is to book a fashion consultation.
The Consultation can be done over phone, in person or via skype and runs for approx 30 minutes.
We will listen to your idea, provide feedback and steps to move forward with and offer our solutions to you with either a set price, or per hour work.
Not sure where to start? From sourcing materials, manufacturing requirements, or market positioning, we've got you covered with a fashion consultation.
This is perfect for new and emerging designers. Perhaps you're struggling with how to get things done, making decisions, or want to discuss specific challenges within your business. We’re here to offer advice and answer any questions you may have relating to designing, building a range and working with factories for example.
Let us know your questions and we'll match you with a fashion specialist that can help you.
What can we do?
We can create technical illustrations of your designs, create a "tech pack" for manufacturers which include fabric & trims details, illustrations, sewing information, and a point of measures page. You can then take this to a manufactuer & start sampling.
A lot of clients at this initial stage decide to do their sampling in Australia first, they get their patterns created and a first sample is made. The first sample is worn at a fitting, then adjusted accordingly to a second sample. If the sample is approved, you can then take your tech pack & approved sample to manufactures and get prices on a bulk order.
The positives of getting your initial samples done in Australia, is that of many:
1. No lost in translation - we speak the same language!
2. No expensive posting, long delays waiting for samples to arrive
3. Easier to make changes by picking up a phone
4. More hands on approach
Whilst producing samples in Australia is perceived as an expensive task, if you were to source your samples offshore you may not be able to get it correct straight away, and don't forget to add in the long delays in between samples.
We can create patterns for a base size S/10, and samples - depending on type of clothing and complexity. We don't do tailoring, bridal, evening wear, jeans, or coats/jackets but we do practically everything else. If we can't provide patterns / sampling, we will endeavour to find you an alternative.
If you are not sure if we can assist, please send us an email with your information and we will advise if we can be of assistance. Failing to check with us and cancelling your consult, will result in a 50% cancellation fee providing you have given us one week notice. Less then one weeks notice results in 100% cancellation fee.
