Here’s why we created this course

Back in 2007 we worked 9-5 jobs. We traveled extensively and every time we packed our bags we were frustrated with the amount of clothes to bring. We needed versatile products, that could be used in urban and outdoor environments. We wanted to create a clothing brand for our needs.

We knew design, product development and tech but we had major gaps in branding, marketing and sales and most of all in how to run and manage a profitable business.

We Googled and we went to industry events, but what gave us the progress leaps was talking to industry experts. Talking to people that had done what we were trying to do. We didn’t have to reinvent the wheel, we just had to implement tried, tested and proven frameworks that other entrepreneurs had done successfully. So now we have created the course we wish we had back in 2007.

We have created this course to give you the ENTIRE framework, so you can save time, know exactly what to do and avoid costly mistakes.

Listen to what some of our alumni say about the course

Before I took the Apparel Entrepreneurship course there were many aspects to the apparel industry that seemed mysterious and daunting to figure out as a small start-up brand owner. I knew this course was just what I'd been looking for because it's so niched down to exactly what needed: how to build an apparel brand and succeed as an entrepreneur in the industry. Most accelerators have a more general focus for a wider audience. The very specific information and individual attention/feedback was exactly what I needed. I thought, maybe I can get the same insights from google or reading a book. That is definitely not the case and I'm so glad I went for it. 🙂 I also appreciated how much Apparel Entrepreneurship has put in to long-term incredibly valuable content (videos, reading materials, resource lists) that I can continue to reference and have access to. I’ve made so much progress: I've chosen my brand values. Registered for my trademark. Reserved an instagram handle. Worked on material sourcing, gained confidence for my concept, made progress on determining a realistic business model, and have created a detailed mind-map that will serve as an outline for my business plan. I'd recommend this course right away to anyone who's seriously exploring apparel entrepreneurship or in the process already. It's absolutely the most specific, all-encompassing bundle of information/support for doing so, and the instructors are wonderful! Definitely go for it - it's absolutely worth the investment! Thank you so much for all that you've put into creating the ideal course for apparel brand entrepreneurs. There's nothing else like it out there, and I'm so glad I found you!

I had an idea of a brand but needed to understand the entire process, from an idea to launch. The course really covers it all in a very detailed manner. It’s packed with the most useful information. I have made a lot of progress - created my designs, worked on my business plan, finishing up my website and working on social media. I just have to mention that I learned so much valuable information that even if I worked for years in this industry I would’ve never known about all this information. From the bottom of my heart thank you! I am so much more prepared going forward!

Before I joined the course I felt very frustrated, unorganized, scattered and overwhelmed. After taking the course I am now confident and am turning my dream brand into a reality. In the course you covered things I would have never thought about, specially in the sustainability area. The biggest benefits for me with the course were: 1. Knowing the mistakes to avoid when finding and contacting manufacturers. 2. Gaining understanding of WHY knowing exactly what your brand's "WHY" and mission and values are is important in every business, design and marketing decision you will make. I strongly recommend the course, it provides an actionable framework for starting a brand. I was pleasantly surprised with the course materials. Having something visual that I can look back on and tweak, is a game changer in staying on track and organized with where I want to take my brand. If you are serious about starting a clothing brand, the investment in the course is necessary. Thank you again for putting the course and the materials together.

I’m so glad I found Apparel Entrepreneurship.  Before meeting this dynamic duo, I lacked a clear roadmap to create and launch my fashion brand.  Their materials, such as their detailed book, provided a timeline and information on each step to creating a new fashion brand.  Not only are they knowledgeable but they are committed to the success of all apparel entrepreneurs!

Apparel Entrepreneurship is such a valuable asset to any clothing brand. Ana and Klas both have a wealth of experience from setting up their own brands which means that the advice, based on these experiences, is realistic and actionable. They provide useful resources to help brands learn about the elements required for running a clothing line, and the tools and templates offered here are extremely valuable as they are hard to find elsewhere. The availability of the community helps to make brands feel well supported by the two of them, and by other entrepreneurs.
Charlie Pollard

Apparel Entrepreneurship helped me to finally start working with confidence on my brand. I did not know anything about how to start fashion brand etc. The amount of knowledge and information that is available from Apparel Entrepreneurship is invaluable. It guided me into the right direction when it came to what to do and what not do to. Thank you Ana & Klas!

I started my company with basically zero knowledge about the apparel industry. With no network, no experience not even basic industry knowledge. The complexity of it is frightening ….so frightening, that at one point I was on the verge of giving up. And this is when I came across the Apparel Entrepreneurship community. It was like getting a structured handbook – it’s extremely useful! Access to many years of industry expert knowledge, giving me a strong basis and opening my eyes to directions, trends and necessities I haven’t even though of before……and whenever I’m stuck or in doubt, I can always count on the community to help me out. I can’t express how grateful I am to Ana and Klas for starting this! Thank you!

Apparel Entrepreneurship’s focused pool of information, contacts, and templates is a service that I couldn’t get anywhere else. I am coming from another industry and for me, AE is both a crash course and a support system to make my development process both faster and more accurate. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the community grows and I expect that to be another source of valuable information and support as I’m preparing to launch and then grow my brand.

I am a french entrepreneur. I knew nothing about the apparel business, when I bumped onto Apparel Entrepreneuship. Whaouh! This is the perfect balance between knowledge, user-friendly tools, and community. I found it very useful to learn about the business and interact with pros.

What Apparel Entrepreneurship has created is long overdue in this industry. Your experience and the content you create out of it is of very high value, not only for new starters but also for those that already deal within a running system, to better understand the full picture. It provides a nice guidance and source of help for those who do not have the relevant network yet to get proper information from.
Simone Meier

Starting my own brand seemed like a too big of a project for me to embark on. I didn’t know where to start, what questions to ask or where to turn. Ana and Klas at Apparel Entrepreneurship, helped me with everything! Their combined knowledge and experience is impressive. They set the tone for what was to come, they gave me guidance of where to start, from branding, marketing, hangtags, to neck and size labels, to patterns, fabric, and manufacturer hunting. They walked with me every step of the way and having them as a guide made the journey feel safer and they do push things forward. You’re never standing still and if I ever had any questions – they’re super quick to answer. The best part was that they are so passionate and invested in the work that they do. They genuinely care and they want you to succeed.
