Designs That Reflect Identity
Our mentoring goes beyond fabric and fashion—it’s about honoring the designer’s cultural identity. We support you in creating work that’s both professionally viable and true to your story, community, and heritage.
Bridge to Production and Growth
Once your concept is solid, we connect you with our in-house sampling and production services. This integrated support model allows new designers to move confidently from concept to collection—without the typical roadblocks.
