Melanie DiSalvo - A Look Behind The Seams

“Why should only industry insiders get the best resources?"

You probably know me from my Instagram account @alookbehindtheseams where over 200,000 people follow me into factories all over the world to learn how clothing is made. Or from my Substack where 40,000+ of you subscribe for weekly industry updates.

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! Because the world needs more passionate brands that want to serve their communities while making their products ethically - and I'm here to help make that happen.

Here What Real People Just Like You Have To Say...

Here's what challenge participants had to say about their experience

Marina

Marina

“I had so many questions about how I was going to get form A-Z. And this was the first time I was investing in myself, so I naturally felt some fear, but it was the best decision that I made in a long time. There is so much valuable information inside of this program that would have been impossible for me to learn on my own.”

Giselle

Giselle

“I have over 20 years of industry experience and a degree in fashion design, so I already have a strong skillset for design, product development, following up with factories overseas. However finding a small manufacturer for a small startup felt daunting. It’s a lot more complicated starting a brand from scratch than working at an already established company.”

Jacqui

Jacqui

“I was a nurse for 15 years when I decided to start my swimsuit line. I had no idea what I was doing and I needed help… I wouldn’t be where I am without Melanie. I’ve now launched two collections, have a third on the way, and was just recently featured on a local radio show.”

Adrienne

Adrienne

“I was hesitant at first about the investment, once I joined I was so glad I did. Her clear structured approach helped me focus and refine my brand. My only regret is not joining the class sooner.”

Kat

Kat

When I decided, I was going to start a tall kids wear brand, the very first thing I did was Google…But, I’m going to tell you not a lot came up. I feel like the universe knew with me working a full time job, full time mom, obviously, that I was going to need more than my usual DIY self-taught strategies to get this brand eventually kicked off the ground. And some how I stumbled upon Melanie’s free Ask Me Anything workshop, and it was free so I figured what do I have to loose. It was 2 hours, and it was about halfway through when I realized clearly this chick knows her sh*t.”

Frequently asked questions

What if I can't make the live calls?

Live call recordings will be posted within 24 hours for you to watch the replay

Is lifetime access included?

You'll have access to all of the content (replays, lessons, templates etc) for 90 days from the date your Challenge starts. After that, you have the option to extend your access at a discounted rate.

Since it is a LIVE challenge, the goal is to consume the content together.

Will this work for my specific situation?

My coaching program stands out because it goes beyond one-time sessions. I provide ongoing support, an engaged community, and real-time guidance to ensure lasting results, not just temporary motivation.

What's the difference between 'Basic" and 'VIP' option?

The VIP plan includes everything in the challenge PLUS upgraded chat support.

You'll have direct access to Melani to ask 1:1 questions, anytime, whenever you get stuck.

What if i'm at absolute zero right now?

Perfect - I created this challenge for people with zero experience.

Am I guaranteed to walk away with a sample?

Nope! Anyone who promises that is lying.

What I can promise: in 30 days you'll have all the skills and tools you need to work with your first factory.

Some people have their first sample before the end of the 30 days, and some people take much longer if they are having trouble finalizing their designs.

Due to the digital nature of the program, we do not offer refunds.

What happens after the 30 days?

You'll have an additional 60 days after the challenge ends (so, 90 days total) to go through all of the content (lessons, recordings, templates etc)..

The goal of the challenge is to move through the content together + not just have it waiting for "when you have time"...since we know this never really happens lol.

HOWEVER if you want to keep going, rewatch live sessions, stay in the community, etc you can extend your access at a special alum discount.
