Our Mission
Here at The Business of Apparel...
We are a team of apparel industry veterans. Our team members have all spent over a decade or two (or more!) working for some of the biggest brands on the planet. We've also started our own apparel brands and everything in between.
​
During our years in corporate apparel, we saw SO MUCH gatekeeping, and it took some of us 15+ years to learn the processes we now teach our community. Some of us learned it for the first time from Rachel just a few years ago!
​
Honestly, we find this to be ridiculous. This industry that thrives on secrecy, hiding information and keeping newcomers from succeeding needs to be flipped upside down.
​
So now, we're out here teaching YOU the way to grow and scale your career in a way that nobody else understands... because the industry didn't open up to them either!
​
Most industry pros stick to their cushy jobs inside corporate walls. Come learn from this small cohort of rule-breakers trying to turn the tables and get the right information in to more hands.

"Absolutely 10/10 recommend. The value of the knowledge it contains and having a playbook of all the documents to get started has saved me so many hours of trial and error trying to figure things out alone."

"It feels really great to be a part of something with this team. There's definitely a sense of community and inclusion, which is something that you don't get very often working in the apparel industry!"

is this really worth my precious time? i don't know if it'll be worth it...
We know how busy you are as a student! It's our goal to give you as much value and helpful information in less than 60 minutes than you've been able to find in the last 3 months of researching on your own. As long as you register on time, you'll be able to join us live, gain access to the replay and ultimately save yourself another 3 months of looking for information that simply isn't available out there.
I want to learn this information, but I'm not a Student...
All are welcome! We know that the greater community of Fashion Industry professionals also need to spruce up their interviewing skills from time to time. Sign up! We'd love to have you there, but please keep in mind that the language we use and target audience is being geared toward graduating Fashion Students.
