12 Nov Free Masterclass on Sourcing Fabrics & Manufacturers From Fashion Designer and Product Development Consultant Caroline Trend
Fashion-Enter Ltd welcomed FTA fashion students, start-up designers and growing fashion brands to a free online masterclass on Wednesday 11th November, offering valuable industry insight into one of the biggest challenges facing emerging fashion businesses: knowing where to start when sourcing fabrics and manufacturers.
The one-hour session was hosted by fashion designer and product development consultant Caroline Trend, who shared her knowledge and experience to help participants better understand the sourcing and production journey. Using a PowerPoint presentation Caroline provided clear and detailed explanations of every stage followed by a lively Q and A session.
The masterclass attracted a varied audience, from FTA fashion students looking to take their first steps into the industry and new designers developing their business ideas, to established small brands seeking professional guidance to support their next stage of growth.
Understanding where to source suitable fabrics and finding the right manufacturing partners are important steps in turning a creative idea into a commercially viable fashion product. Having access to the right knowledge early on can help designers make more informed decisions, avoid common pitfalls and approach product development with greater confidence.
The session provided an opportunity for participants to gain practical advice, build their understanding and hear directly from an industry professional with experience in fashion design and product development.
Feedback following the masterclass was fantastic, with several attendees taking the next step and booking discovery calls with Caroline to explore their individual requirements further.
A big thank you to Caroline Trend for sharing her expertise and to everyone who joined us!
