Made in America is back. But as fashion manufacturing reshores, companies and brands face complex challenges.
Where can they turn when the demands for speed and customization are higher than ever? What if they’re not based in traditional manufacturing cities like Manhattan or Los Angeles? Can they rely on their communities?
I spoke to three pioneering women in Austin’s emerging fashion industry at SXSW about these questions and more.
We discussed hyper-local production and explored how can cities across the US can nurture their own vibrant fashion sectors.
Topics include:
- Localizing fashion manufacturing
- Cultivating community & support services
- Fostering fashion education
- Engaging government
- Addressing ethics & sustainability
- Generating consumer interest
- Facing challenges
Featuring:
Kasi Martin, Writer, Advocate and Founder of The Peahen
Nina Means, Designer and Head of ACC's Fashion Incubator
Andie Day, Designer, Mary Clary
Sweta Vakani, Designer and Garment Supply Chain Consultant
