Description

WTF is Production? That's a job? Learn all about the essential role that Production plays in the world of fashion, with our special guest, production expert Amy. We will talk about the design process, the concessions brands make to bring in product faster and faster, and how cancellations affect everyone from the people sewing your clothes to the employees in the button factory. And we will find out why t-shirts are just so crappy and sheer these days!  We will also be introduced to Amy's production mantra "You can have it fast, cheap, or good...but you can only pick two."  Amanda will also break down the difference between a retailer and brand...and how they are becoming almost synonyms in today's industry.  Wow! This is a really informative episode!  And oooh...we found a non-offensive, sustainable truly sustainable hangtag being used by Outerknown.Questions, comments, a suggestion for another brand that walks the walk of sustainable practices and ethical manufacturing?  Drop us a line at clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com.  Or find us on IG @clotheshorsepodcast.
