Designing and starting a fashion line is exhilarating and inspiring and something most of us want to jump right into. Starting a fashion line that sells is something completely different--but it’s something you can do. Robyn and I are BACK with a podlet that sums up six easy steps to starting a fashion line that sells. The Successful Fashion Designer podcast has been going for 75(!) episodes, and after interviewing as many talented, business-savvy fashion designers as I have, Robyn and I noticed that many of them had similar advice when it came to designing a fashion line that sells. We went back through and extracted the golden advice nuggets from their episodes and distilled it down for you here--it’s great advice for everyone that wants to start a fashion line the right way. In the interview (which you’ll love) we cover: - Finding and owning your niche to create a fashion line that sells
- How NOT to design for everybody (seriously!)
- Solving your own problems by facing and overcoming the fashion challenges that you have
- Doing RESEARCH on other fashion lines
- Actually going to where your customer is hanging out to do MORE research
- Testing, testing, and testing some more--getting feedback on your samples
- Engaging and asking your customer for feedback during the design + development process
- Asking open-ended questions to get more information from your customers
- And so much more!
