Alright, I have given 100% tips on how to build your clothing line and have explained how each step of product development works. Now, to inaugurate this new blog series INSIDE THE FASHION INDUSTRY, it is time to help you to get work done, recap each step, and, most importantly, dig deeper into each step.
For everybody who will not be getting work done, I promised this is going to be helpful and a great source in case you ever decide to get your project off the ground. Now, if you actually start working, this will be your new bible, your new guide, your new BFF!
If I write each step of product development with a deep and detailed explanation in one single blog post, I might just write a bible (lol, but for real), so we will be breaking each step week by week.
Want to know the order this will be happening? Here you go:
Finding your inspiration and creating your mood board
Sketch design
Selecting your fabrics and colorways
Budgeting
Tech sketches
Pattern and sample making
Digitizing and grading
Size check run
Production markers
Production and costing your garments
Sales plan
I know each step seems pretty standard (and it is), but new designers might never have heard of some of these steps and, even though they might go unsaid in the fashion industry, they are so important.
To start with first things first, next week’s post will be “Finding your inspiration and creating your mood board” and, to give the first step, how about you start selecting pictures of anything that might be your inspiration? Legit anything! After that, I will tell you how to narrow it down and start working on your mood board.
