Before you send your sketch to a manufacturer...
|
You have a great idea for a new design. Maybe you’ve sketched it on paper, created it digitally, or even used AI to help visualize the concept. But then comes the bigger question: how do you turn that idea into something a manufacturer can actually make? Because the sketch is only the beginning. In my latest YouTube video, I walk you through the six stages between your initial fashion idea and production, and show you where digital tools and skills like Illustrator, CLO3D, tech packs, and merchandising fit along the way. If you’re developing your own products, understanding this process can change the way you approach your designs before you ever send them to a manufacturer. Watch it now on the 383 Design Studio YouTube channel. This is also the first video in my September series on Digital Fashion Technology for Emerging & Independent Designers, so I’ll be going deeper into how technology can help you develop products and build your fashion business more effectively throughout the month. And after you watch, hit reply and tell me which of the six stages is the biggest challenge for you right now? See you in the video! Mikelle |
