It’s Time to Develop The Local SupplyChain #BKstyleCon 2014
Thank you for Electing to join
You may have noted that I speak of the “Fashion” as an “Ecosystem”, as well as reference the term “cradle to cradle”, and not simply the #fashiontech elite… simply put you cannot sell local fashion if you do not have local manufacturing and manufactures will have nothing to produce if consumers have no faith in the quality of locally produced garments. On the other end if no one can pay for your marketing social commerce and services will mean nothing .

BKstylecode 2014 – #SewOpen #BKstyleCon – Design Fashiontech Studio Intensive
This Studio Workshop of the BKstylecode is focused on understanding fashion, business and tech, how they work together and how to leverage them to build your brand.
The Studio Workshop is designed as a hands-on guide to empower the local designer in the management of their line. For others it ‘s an opporunity to engage in the process first hand and truly understand what is entailed!
Designers will have access to all patterns within our planned OPEN SOURCE library of silhouettes. The hands-on experience is gained by designing a conceptual line, whose patterns are then open sourced to the community for commercial use, thus avoiding creative and privacy concerns that prevent some local brands from participating in vitally needed training. This format will also provide basic blocks and patterns for participating labels to build upon.
Among other things, this intensive studio session focuses on:
- Identifying and meeting customers’ needs and desires
- Establishing sales goals and strategies
- Optimizing your branded creative design elements
- Managing and increasing your production line output and effective budgeting
- Establishing creative and quality control guidelines
- Pricing and positioning for profit
- Address local production alternatives
- Packaging, marketing and sales collateral
- Making technology work for you and your company
Studio Workshop sessions will be led by designers Bonnie Sandy and Lawrence Pizzi with support from designers specializing in local design and production. The bios of workshops leads will be added shortly.
This ticket is valid for all 5 days
Monday, September 15, 2014 – Friday, September 20, 2014 from 11:00am – 5:00pm.
