🎶 POV: Stop the Wedding is the soundtrack to communicating with your manufacturer sometimes (yikes).

When you work with a factory over multiple collections, you get to know each other pretty well. You learn how they work, they learn what you expect, and somewhere along the way, there will probably be a few disagreements.

Pricing changes. Delays happen. Sometimes you have to have the same conversation more than once.

The question is, are things getting better, or are you still having the same problems six months later?

Swipe through before you decide whether to save the relationship or stop the wedding. ✂️💍

So when should you actually go to China? 🇨🇳

Whether you’re just starting out or already developing collections? The answer depends on where you’re at in your brand journey.

✨IF I WAS STARTING A FASHION BRAND TODAY

I’d spend less time trying to look like a fashion brand and more time learning how to build a really good product.

Hear me out... The branding might get someone to notice you... But the product is what gets them to come back.

It’s never just about what looks good together, it’s about what ✨ feels ✨ right together.

Right now we’re loving these Pantone pairings.

❤️‍🔥 Which mood are you gravitating towards?

Geo Logic is one of the key macro trends coming out of WGSN for this season. Earthy, grounding, drawn from stone, sediment, and the slow textures of the natural world.

For colour, that translates to palettes like Pantone Blue Surf, Adobe Rose, and Mahogany. Tones that feel considered rather than reactive. Versatile across categories and seasons, which matters when you’re building a range that needs to work hard commercially.
Colour is one of the first decisions founders make and one of the most strategic. It shapes perception before a customer ever reads a description or checks a price.

If you’re building a collection for the second half of 2025, this is the direction worth paying attention to.

The country of manufacture doesn’t make a great product. The brand does.

Every decision about fabric, fit, and construction happens long before a single stitch. A factory can only execute what you give them to work with.

The gap isn’t “Made in China” versus anywhere else. It’s between brands that invest in the development process and brands that skip it.

Quality is a strategy, not a label.

20/04/2026

Lately I’ve been thinking about how much of this job happens before anything actually exists.

Moodboards. Swatches. The same fabric in six different weights. Hours looking for the thing you can’t quite describe yet but you’ll know when you find it.

Messy, some days too fast, and others slow, all completely necessary. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

🤔 Most founders ask:
“How many styles should I launch with?”

Womp womp, wrong first question.

🌟 The real question is:
Can your cash flow survive your launch decisions?

More styles = more sampling costs.
More trims.
Higher MOQs.
More complexity.
More chances to get it wrong.

If you can’t afford to restock your winners, launching 8 styles doesn’t make you look established. It makes you exposed.

✔️ Smart launches look like this:
Test small.
Protect margin.
Restock what sells.
Scale with proof.

This is the difference between a “collection” mindset and a commercial strategy.

Founders don’t fail because they lack creativity. They fail because they skip the roadmap.

Most delays I see have nothing to do with the factory.

They’re waiting on an approval that’s been sitting in someone’s inbox for four days, or the brief changed after sampling started, or there are three people with opinions and no one with sign-off authority.

Factories run on slots. If your feedback is late, you don’t just slow down, you fall behind someone else who was ready.

The clients who get their product on time are the ones who treat decisions like deliverables. Fast, clear, final.
