MICHIGAN FASHION PROTO (MFP) WAS ORIGINALLY OPENED IN 2009 AS AN APPAREL DEVELOPMENT FIRM, FOCUSING ON PROVIDING LAUNCHING BRANDS WITH PRE-PRODUCTION RESOURCES SUCH AS DESIGN, LINE PLANNING, SOURCING, PATTERN MAKING AND SAMPLE MAKING. SOON AFTER LAUNCHING, THE NEED FOR GOOD DOMESTIC SHORT-RUN PRODUCTION BECAME APPARENT AND MFP LAUNCHED A PRODUCTION DIVISION.
IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION AT MFP IS SMALL BATCH, AND TO BETTER CLIENT NEEDS, MFP HAS DEVELOPED A NETWORK OF PRODUCTION FACTORY PARTNERS WHO CAN HANDL LARGER ORDERS AND KEEP CLIENT PRODUCTION MOVING QUICKLY. MFP CONTINUES TO EXPAND SERVICES AS MORE FASHION INDUSTRY NEEDS BECOME APPARENT.
TODAY, MFP WORKS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF CLIENTS FROM ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY LOOKING TO DEVELOP AND PRODUCE MANY TYPES OF PRODUCTS AND COLLECTIONS. EACH DAY, THE MFP TEAM HELPS CLIENTS TO DEVELOP AND LAUNCH COLLECTIONS USING ETHICAL LABOR AND SMART DESIGN.
