As you may know, I have plans to create & sell a small line of clothing, (in fact let's call it tiny) ;-) which have references from the 50's & 60, but in modern textiles.
Last week I visited The Social Studio, which is those those of you who don't know is a clothing store & cafe that works with young people, who have experience of being a refugee. The Social Studio have their own clothing label and all garments are made in house. In addition to being ethically made, these clothes assist people in the community by giving them skills and exposure to the fashion industry.
The purpose of the visit was to have a chat about getting my own clothing label produced in time for The Adelaide Vintage Expo and if the price was right continue the relationship for further production down the track.
The meeting was successful with an agreement being made of having samples made first, so staff can have a practice run in sewing the garments. I also discussed my concerns of the need for the garments being competitively priced regardless of how they are made because I want my label to be accessible for everyone.
The samples should be ready for viewing sometime next week. I'll be taking photos of them and explaining the reasons why I choose fabric types. Hooray for next week!
