I hope this video helps someone who is about to embark on one of most challenging paths of their creative career. I wish I had this information when started out but I'm grateful I can share my experience now, and hopefully this will make someone's journey less strenuous. I break down all the costs of launching a clothing brand in this chit chat video. xx Kim Dave

Very informative indeed ! How many collections do you launch a year - spring/ summer and fall/ winter ? :)
@taekwongurl3 жыл бұрын
If there's anything I've learned from Project Runway, it's that just making the clothes is not nearly enough for a fashion brand to get off the ground. Thanks for breaking it down!

I'm just starting to learn to sew, and the main reason is that, as a big guy and there does seem to be an lack of patterns and options for men of my size (5xl). My options are sweatpants, blue shirts and black pants. So if I was going to go into business it would be a "side hustle." I wonder if there might be a video in how to work a fashion business as a side gig vs a full time job.
@KimDave3 жыл бұрын
Hi Tony. It's amazing that you are taking up the challenge of creating pieces for big guys. There is definitely a market for this. I thankfully never had to transition from a full time job to my side hustle. However what helped me when I was working part time in retail and my building my side hustle, I would plan the things I wanted to get done for my side hustle way in advance. This way I avoided feeling overwhelmed or stressed.

oh no. The models wear the samples for the photo or video shoot, and I keep them afterwards. These samples are often loaned to stylist, celebrities or anyone who wants it for a shoot or event.

@KimDave3 жыл бұрын
You can definitely show your pieces on a model. However the reason why it’s important to put the clothes on a human body is because that gives the clients an idea of how it fits on the body

@KimDave3 жыл бұрын
It depends on how much work you have and the frequency of it. If you have a steady stream you of orders then it might be worth paying them per hour but if you have less work that require more time to construct, then per piece might be better. But the choice is yours to make 😊
