The NFC needs to work with the regional bodies with an overriding theme to grow the local fashion industry and a special focus on tackling the challenges facing new and established designers. The NFC needs proper entrepreneurship coaches to guide designers in good business practice, media and new media profesionals to guide designers with marketing and portraying their brand - to name a few areas of special attention. Retailers should be invited to help discuss every day challenges such as fabric availability and costs and of course, the whole consignment issue. <br />I'm excited to see this coming together, but I hope we will all be invited to pull together to represent this dynamic industry and help grow it.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866538203038266227noreply@blogger.com
