Workshop overview
Calling all fashion designers — avante-garde, high fashion, tailoring, street-wear, red-carpet, sports, prêt-a-porter, swimwear, couture — whatever your specialty — this workshop is designed for you.
Do you believe you have what it takes to carve out an important, creative place for yourself in the competitive world of fashion? An essential element in achieving business success is a well developed business plan, an important process to steer you in the right direction.

This full day workshop will outline the skills and knowledge required to plan for your business including:
- Understanding the planning process
- Defining your business goals
- Conducting market research and analysis
- Understanding customer needs and expectations
- Monitoring business performance and customer satisfaction
