What the Ecosystem Gave Them
Through mentorship, training, and honest exposure to the industry, our alumni didn't just learn how to construct a garment or price a collection. They learned how to think like entrepreneurs. How to protect their creative vision while building a sustainable business around it. How to stand in a room with established professionals and know they belonged there
