You're Not Alone
Most people feel the way you do.
But, here's the secret. More time and money don't guarantee success - it's what you do with that time and money that matters.
This program meets you where you are right now, giving you fast, actionable wins to build momentum and stay motivated.
Instead of long development timelines and expensive inventory, we focus on quick-turn manufacturing methods like white label, blanks, and print-on-demand.
That means you can launch your first product without sinking thousands into custom development or sitting on unsold stock.
you don't need fashion industry skills to start a brand, I'll show you how...
Hi, I'm Melanie
You probably know me from my Instagram account @alookbehindtheseams where over 180,000 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! 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.
