who we are…

 We are apparel professionals - based in Los Angeles - encompassing just about all areas of the garment industry. From high end through contemporary, denim, mass market and private label - we provide you with an in-depth view and working knowledge of the constantly evolving fashion marketplace. Having worked with companies such as Paige, Joie, Equipment, Current Elliott, DSTLD, Perry Ellis, Intl. / C&C California, Nasty Gal and Forever21 (to name a few) , we have a solid background that welcomes start-ups, up-and-coming, and established brands, with a clear understanding of the budget and operational limitations of each of those stages

who (what) we are not…

 We are are not a full package shop, “consulting” on our own production services (patterns, grading, cutting & sewing). As appealing as having it all under one roof sounds, this is a contradictory dynamic. These companies promise a “partnership” that does not actually exist. Their business is to make the biggest profit from YOU, in the shortest amount of time and with the least work on their end. Set pricing on a website for “development packages”, is not catered to a potential customer’s vision, but based on what’s at hand that can be re-applied. No objective feedback, no checks and balances. Sadly, this comes to surface when your samples are not what you had been promised and thousands of dollars have been spent. (see more advice for Start-Ups…)

We are not your typical “big picture” business consulting firm. Our approach differs from surface-level-large-strokes plans most traditional consulting firms focus on. We see this disconnect even at larger corporations, where strategies and solutions come from so far above they show a lack practical knowledge on the issues at hand. We understand the daily in-house challenges apparel companies face from the ground up, characters and personalities, and have the skill set that only hands-on experience can provide.

From brand concept and design through sourcing materials, development, production and sales/e-commerce, to building your dream team, we take pride in introducing to your best options, and help you weigh pros and cons with a transparent and honest approach.

We guide you to a place where YOU have the tools and resources to make educated decisions about your company
