I met with a local designer just recuperating from a trip to ‘Magic’ with his day job, the topic led to launching his own label. .
I myself am still recuperating from the print shows , Market week and fashion week, Though I admit the latter was more about adjusting my schedule to suit some colleagues who insist in being part of the madness. Frankly The present system is not working, There are far more efficient ways to achieve the same results. A business shell out $10-20,000 to show at market week and I won’t even begin to guess at the Fashion Week Bill. Can I remember anything I saw, not really? Not that the selection is poor But 5000 booths… I shut down after no 10 then react to impact. Thank god for postcards and catalogs. But I still have bags from last year that I mean to browse.
Yet its time to start the spring collection, Inspiration, trends, prints, jump-starting the creative juices, Getting the production branding marketing and sales in line. Larger design Labels Share the job with competent staff, so that at the end of their runway they are prepared. Bottom line it’s time to start work on our Spring Summer 2009 lines, Our immediate and prom collection should be ready in stores, and Summer/Spring 2008 shipments should be arriving in stores, While final production decisions on Fall 2008 lines should be in progress!
It’s time to announce and recruit for the Spring Summer 2009 Brooklyn Fashion Week. We will be expanding our program based on the techniques we;ve tested. At the end of our runways designers should sell that after all is
