Brazilian fashion designer and fashion production manager, dreamer! I always knew that I wanted to be in fashion, but I did not know what to do in the fashion industry. After working as a fashion designer, graphic designer, editorial coordinator, buyer, visual merchandiser, and fashion writer for various blogs and magazines in the South of Brazil, I realized that the fashion business has always fascinated me. I found my true passion in product development and production management.
After gaining years of experience in this field of the fashion industry, I observed a need that goes beyond assisting designers through the production stages. It involves guiding and teaching them step-by-step about fashion product development to ensure they achieve their goal of launching a successful clothing line.
What started as a blog to share my knowledge and experience within the fashion industry, as a foreigner building a career in New York City, has now become BARBARA SESSIM. It is an opportunity to help new designers who are looking to start their fashion dreams and learn everything about developing a successful clothing brand.

What sets Barbara apart is her ability to break down the dos and don'ts of the industry in a way that is easily understandable and actionable. Her expertise and attention to detail make following her advice a seamless and rewarding experience. She puts in the work and expects nothing less, which has truly motivated me to give my brand the utmost effort and commitment.

I have worked as a model for years, so the fashion industry is not new to me, but what I really love about this industry is the creative freedom. I have MANY ideas in my head, and I always knew that I want to have my own clothing brand. The fact that I am all over the place and didn't know what I should focus my brand on is what made me start working with Barbara. Thanks to the work she did with me, I now know exactly what is needed to start a clothing line, regardless of the styles or target market that I decide to pursue.
