EMERGING TO SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

We want to bridge the gap from 'emerging' to 'established' & see more labels succeed in building and growing sustainable & profitable businesses.

A key project for this area of focus is AFC Curated : A pop-up retail & mentoring program for emerging Australian labels. 

CROWDFUND YOUR NEXT PROJECT:

We've joined forced with the Crowdfunding wizards at POZIBLE to create a Fashion & Textile Industry specific crowdfunding platform. Share your ideas, build your online community and support some fellow local businesses...
