Reflections from the Fashion Forward Summit! Last week, I had the privilege of moderating the Virtual Fashion Forward Summit, featuring inspiring speakers like Leena Bansal and Tarveen Kaur Anand🎤 Targeted at fashion entrepreneurs, the session dove deep into the realms of branding, storytelling, and image building – topics that have always intrigued me. For someone curious about the role of an image consultant, this summit was a perfect opportunity to quench my curiosity and gain clarity on burning questions🔍 🎯 Key Takeaways: 💡 Attitude is your superpower – It’s often what sets you apart and elevates your brand, sometimes even more than talent. 💡 The power of authentic storytelling lies in its ability to build trust and genuine connections with your audience. 💡 Your competitors can be great guides in identifying potential B2B and B2C opportunities. The essence of the summit was to highlight how branding and image building are crucial in taking a brand to the next level. And guess what? It costs more in attitude and connections than in cash! 💼✨ It's always a pleasure to be part of platforms that push your boundaries of learning. Here’s to more such eye-opening experiences! 🚀 Viwekaditya Karna Sarthak Dudhania Asif M Khatri Sujhal D Shah Divya #virtualsummit #fashiondesigners #entrepreneurship #learnings #image #personalbranding #storytelling

NEXT UP - This Thursday (Sept 19th) we will be tackling challenges of fashion entrepreneurs & spark interesting conversations that will lead to new insights, next steps & better decision making. To start the Fashion Fever evening, we will be having two interesting panel discussions: 1. With Jolien Lauwens from Creative Finance, I will talk about key metrics for fashion entrepreneurs, the benchmarks in the sector & how you can take specific actions to improve rentability. 2. We will talk about "How to grow & still be true to my personal and brand values?" with Ophelia Debisschop, Stefanie Koulouris & An-Katrien Dullers. It's a challenge that I've heard several times in the past months, so I'm curious to hear from Stefanie how they tackled this in their recent rebranding with Juna Fae (in collaboration with Marnix and Ally). I'm interested how Ophelia looks at growth, how she manages to keep Ophelia Lingerie authentic with a loyal customer base and what roadblocks she experiences in this. After these inspiring talks, everyone will be personally matched to discuss their own challenges, get insights for their own cases & meet new people. Last spots available, DM me if you want to join ;-) #fashion #community #networking #paneldiscussion #mode #ondernemeninantwerpen #growingbysharing #takingaction

Curious how the creative and financial sides of a business collaborate to fuel growth? Look no further than Alex and Michael Faherty, the twin brother entrepreneurs behind the sustainable fashion brand Faherty. Since founding in 2012, they’ve shown how design and business strategy can merge seamlessly to create a thriving online and retail presence. Michael drives the design and creative vision, while Alex navigates the business strategy, balancing innovation with practicality. Together, they ask five crucial questions before committing to any new prototype. It’s a blueprint that any company can use to determine if a new product or service idea is worth the investment. Here are the questions they consider: Who is the customer? Why will they buy it? What need does it fulfill? How does it stand out in the market? Is it worth the investment? For those who bring products to life, what’s your vetting process? Do you have questions that guide your decision-making?
