FAQ - Our Process
At AJG Fashion Consulting, we understand that building a successful fashion brand requires more than just great designs. It demands strategy, accuracy, and the right support at every stage. That’s why our process is designed to guide fashion entrepreneurs through the complexities of apparel production. Here’s a detailed look at how we work with brands to bring their vision to life!
We start every partnership with a discovery session. During this phase, we dive deep into your brand’s goals, values, and target audience. Whether you’re launching a new line or scaling an existing brand, this lets us get to know you, your brand’s values, and understand the best way to help you grow. We talk about your current progress, your goals for launching or growing, the details of each design, and what to expect from working with AJG.
Step 1: Idea Development & Step 2: Materials Sourcing
Once we complete the kickoff, we start working simultaneously on the designs and factory network strategy. You will have many opportunities to dive into the creative and technical development of your product with your design team.
Design Consultation: Collaborate with our team to refine your ideas
Tech Pack Creation: We develop detailed tech packs, including sketches, bill of materials (BOM), construction details, and measurements. These serve as the blueprint throughout the entire development process.
Material Sourcing: Leveraging our network of trusted suppliers, we help you find the best fabrics, trims, and materials that align with your design, costing, and sustainability goals.
This phase ensures that every detail of your product is carefully planned and documented.
Step 3: Sampling & Step 4: Profit Strategy
Once your designs and tech packs are complete, we assist in creating prototypes and samples to test your product’s fit, function, and overall appeal.
Collaborate with the selected factory partner to create prototype samples
Conduct fitting sessions and refine fit and design details
Negotiate product cost with the factory, determine shipping methods, and set up your purchase orders

Step 5: Pre-Production
When you are ready to place your production order, AJG will facilitate alongside ordering bulk materials and trims.

If everything is up to standard, we move into the production phase.
