HEY THERE, I'M MELANIE!
You probably know me from my Instagram account @alookbehindtheseams where over 201,000 people follow me into factories all over the world to learn how clothing is made.
But before I made it my mission to help every day people start fashion brands I worked with behemoths like Walmart and Target, as well as shaky startups that evolved into cult favorites like Nili Lotan and Hunter Boot - traveling to countries like Mexico, Domincan Republic, China, India, Taiwan, Egypt, and the Philippines where I got to see first-hand how the fashion industry operates.
Now my goal is to help you!
