For anyone with a vision to launch a brand, break into the fashion business, or scale an existing idea, this book was crafted with you in mind.
Why I Wrote 10 Threads to Fortune
The fashion world is constantly evolving. Today’s entrepreneurs face a unique blend of challenges and opportunities—whether it’s mastering digital marketing, adapting to sustainability demands, or standing out in a competitive market. I wanted to create a resource that not only shares insight into these areas but also provides actionable tools to guide creatives through each step of building a successful business.
10 Threads to Fortune is structured as a journey, with each “Thread” representing a vital skill or concept that budding entrepreneurs need. This isn’t just another business book; it’s a roadmap for visionaries who want to make a real impact in fashion.
