Do you dream of owning your own fashion label? If you think you will start it the usual way, my best advice, is DO NOT! In the time since I began Pride, I have seen dozens of indi labels buy tens of thousands of dollars of stock, but since they have not had hundreds of thousands of dollars for marketing, their stock has not sold. They end up having to dump, or worse burn, just about the whole lot! There is a financially, and environmentally responsible way to start a viable label. You have to make the products yourself. If you dream of starting a label, but are held back because you can't professionally/industrially sew, start reading my blog, ManAndSewingMachine.blogspot.com (link in bio) I'm writing it because I'm tired of seeing fashion start-ups burning clothes no one has worn. I want to assist what we're calling the #fashionrevolution (#fashrev for short) not just through my own #locallymade #slowfashion brand, but by sharing all I have learned, through my own success and mistakes. The more engagement I receive, the more often I'll post, especially now while it's Autumn and I am not sewing orders so much. . . . . . #fashionblogger #slowfashionblogger #buylocal #locallymade #imadeyourclothes https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccwz-iHJi6t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
