Manufacturing & Sustainable Business Models

How do you find a reliable manufacturer? 

How do you communicate your ideas to them in a way that avoids wasted samples and errors in production? 

Do you always have to fulfil MOQs or could there be other ways to release fashion items and stay profitable?

THE FASHION BLUEPRINT is proud to host a webinar on "Manufacturing & Sustainable Business Models".

Manufacturing continues to be the bane of most designers lives. Whereas the creative process can be fun and mentally stimulating, the commercial side of fashion and bringing ideas to life comes with a lot of logistics, planning, back and forth and waste. In addition to this, the market is changing at such a fast pace that traditional methods can no longer apply. We are here to demistify fashion manufacturing and talk about how to innovate the fashion process, be resourceful and increase your chances of success as a fashion business

The webinar will be packed with insights, hosted by TFB co-founders Gigi Vieira and Misi Ogunlana, joined by three guest speakers who are innovating and changing the game

Meet the speakers: 

• Mariell Stene is the co-founder of Maya Mariell, a ready-to-wear womenswear brand that beautifully blends South Asian and Scandinavian influences.  Not only do they have a D2C presence, Maya Mariell is currently stocked at Wolf & Badger.
