Is your dream to launch a clothing line? Want to start that this year? Set yourself up for success by launching with a realistic timeframe.
One simple rule to follow when working on domestically made apparel collections is to work a half year ahead of your season (at a minimum). Let’s assume you are starting today; your timeline might look like this:
JANUARY
Define your vision. This is where you showcase your design inspiration, colors, fabrics, and general direction for the season (Fall 2022). We at Michigan Fashion Proto love to give our clients fabric swatches in all of the available color choices first so the design process can get off on the right foot. It also helps production planning if you use wholesale fabric for sampling. This is a perfect time for a consultation so you can plan your steps to success!
