A bit more about us

We Design

We kick off the Design Process as a team, ensuring we work with you to understand exactly what the end goal is before we put pen to paper. Then, we start working our magic on the Design stage, creating mood boards, innovative concepts, colour palettes and design sketches to bring your brand to life. This is when ideas start to take shape, this is the time to push the boundaries!

Let’s Design

We Develop

Once the Design stage is complete, we begin the development stage. Development is a huge part of the service that we offer and is an incredibly important process, where design details are put into technical specifications, fabrics and trims are sourced, measurements are specified and the collection is briefed to our manufacturers… one step closer to reality! Next, the prototypes are received and fitted and final prototypes are approved. Final costings, budgets and margins are confirmed now too.

Let’s Develop

We Produce

Production is the last stage in our process and is one of the most exciting as it sees everyone’s hard work come to life and it means that you have a product to sell! We work with the best manufacturers in Europe and we always source the right manufacturer for your brand. We have constant contact with our manufacturers and completely manage the complex production process for you. We are lucky to work with manufacturers that we completely trust, and we’re sure you will too.

Let’s Produce

We Consult

If you’re not 100% sure you’re ready to launch into anything just yet, that’s ok! Our biggest priority is making sure you have all of the information you need to take that step. We provide a consultation service solely designed to answer any questions you may have about building a Fashion Brand!

Testimonials

‘Siobhan and I worked together for some years at a young fashion ladies wear manufacturing company for the high street. It was a fast turnaround business starting from the design concept through to the production and delivery. Siobhan’s attention to detail and work ethic were impeccable and I would definitely encourage anyone looking to start up a fashion brand to use ‘The Fashion Consultants’ as you will get everything you want and more.‘

Trudy Linnett

‘Whilst we were preparing to launch our first womenswear collection, we hired Beth and Siobhan to help develop the collection and deliver the final production into our warehouses and retailers. Their support helped us to successfully navigate our collection development, creation and launch and I would recommend them highly.’

Walter Harris, Managing Director at Marbek

‘Beth & Siobhan are absolutely fantastic to work with. We couldn’t have asked for two more experienced, passionate and professional people to help us deliver our project. From start to finish they were impeccable, from working on initial concept and designs through to fitting, production and marketing. Beth & Siobhan know their stuff and the fashion industry inside out. Their knowledge of current brands, trends, fabrics, manufacturing technology and factories knows no boundaries, with attention to detail at every stage. No task was off limits and they truly delivered what was promised. If you’re looking for trusted, true professionals to help your brand, The Fashion Consultants are highly recommended by us. ‘
