Material availability is THE reason why it makes sense for independent designers to be based in a Fashion capital or manufacturing hub city.

When problems arise in the development stages, and they always do; first thing to do is do not panic! Take a beat to look at your whole collection and sourced materials and see what could fit the collection as best as possible or hopefully even better! This is one of those don’t-cry-over-split-milk dilemmas that’s to be expected in the designing process. So work with your team to creatively problem solve and trust the process. Sometimes it’s as easy as shuffling the styling to accommodate the story telling and other times it could be as complex as adding in another material into each look. Problems of this degree teach us about our adaptability as much as it teaches us about our clients wants!
