industry includes products of all types: clothing, accessories, household goods, industrial products, and artisan crafts. The fabric product industry is over a trillion dollar yearly market internationally. This guide was compiled to explore the entrepreneurial business end of such a huge, largely unnoticed market. This book is series of interviews with people from all aspects of the fashion and textile business. In it you will read how they began their businesses and how Mary Wingo of Roxwell Waterhouse they have made them flourish through hard work, marketing and sometimes just plain old good luck. But to quote Lucille Ball, “Luck? … I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work - and realizing what opportunity is and what isn’t.” The interviews in this book will help you see what is and is not a great opportunity. Beginning a business is a daunting task, and a business in the arts can be even more difficult. Fashion and textiles may be one of the most difficult businesses to break into. Fashions, whether in clothing, accessories or household goods, change at breakneck speed and can take a great deal of time just to keep up with. Other businesses may not take nearly the amount of time or ongoing research. Our interviews often stress the need for education and the guidance of a mentor. Without guidance, a fabric products entrepreneur can fall into many pitfalls: expanding too quickly, not expanding quickly enough, having too much product, running out of inventory, working with people who don’t support your vision, trying to do it all alone and hiring unscrupulous subcontractors. I would like to thank the over fifty men and women featured in this book. Their time and thoughtful answers to my questions will make your transition into the business of fashion easier. I urge you to learn from their example – both in what they did right and what they did wrong. Not only did they tell me what worked for them in their business, they shared the mistakes they made and the most surprising things they have learned. This is valuable information for any new entrepreneur. If I could summarize their wisdom into a few sentences, they would be: Learn about business before you start one. Study the fashion and fabric products world. Start slowly, but don’t be afraid to leap at an excellent opportunity. Do plenty of market research before you invest in developing a product. Customer service is key to ongoing business success. But don’t stop reading there. Each person brings their own unique perspective and wisdom to these interviews. Whether you want to start a business in casual wear, theatrical costuming, home decorating, high fashion, children’s wear or exercise gear there is someone here to advise you. You can learn what forms of promotion work for each of these businesses, the importance of inventory control and how critical it is to make sure you surround yourself with the people who share your vision and your drive to succeed in this dynamic and rewarding business. Enjoy the interviews, learn as much as possible and I’ll see you on the runways!
