Ep. 17 Make Every Clothing Manufacturer Want to Work with You (15 mins)
If you can’t find a clothing manufacturer to sew your garments in the correct way, then you’ll lack the ability to sell and scale. I always tell my students to look at your clothing manufacturer as your partner — in fact, instead of calling them your manufacturer I recommend referring to them as your production partner. Because it’s this mutually beneficial partnership that can make or break the brand you’re creating.

Ep. 19 This is the Business Model for the Future of the Fashion Industry (11 mins)
When you think about choosing a business model — your thoughts may immediately go to the question of how you’re going to sell. Will you sell direct-to-consumer? Will you sell wholesale to stores and boutiques? And while those are all important decisions to think about and make, the business model I want to talk about today is one that is *actually* sustainable – not only in terms of the planet and the environment – but when it comes to your wallet and business revenue. This is a business model that could significantly shape the way that you build your sustainable fashion brand and help to change the fashion industry as a brand yourself.
