What Is a Fashion Design Consultancy?

A Fashion Design Consultancy provides creative and strategic services to apparel brands, fashion retailers, and startups by deeply understanding macro and micro-trends and consumer demands.

 

In addition, they help to identify new opportunities for clothing lines, guide design directions through trend analysis, and advise sales strategies to maximize the bottom line impact and profits.

What Does a Fashion Design Consultancy Do?

We offer many services to assist our clients throughout the design process, from strategy, marketing, initial concept ideation and clothing design to the manufacturing of clothing collections.

 

Our process typically begins with a thorough consultation, during which the consultancy gives us an understanding of our client’s business, consumers, and any specific design requirements or limitations. 

 

Based on this information, we can extensively research future trends, consumer behaviour, and competitors to provide valuable insights and inspiration for the design process.

 

Next, to strategic services, we develop apparel design concepts, sketches, and prototypes, always in line with our client’s vision, business, value chain, and the identified market trends in mind.

 

During our assignments, we collaborate with experts in design, textile selection, colour theory, pattern making, and garment construction to guarantee the garment’s functionality and appeal.

 

Once the designs are finalised, we assist with the production process, leveraging our network of apparel manufacturers, supply chain, and other industry specialists to create the highest quality clothing.

 

Additionally, we provide marketing and branding support, helping our clients to launch their products effectively in the market to drive change and reach their consumers through the right channels.
