Abordagem

The future of fashion in general, and the fashion industry in particular, lies on how brands and companies will navigate the waters, continuously reinventing themselves as powerful but also empowered social and environmental responsible entities.

Portugal has taken central stage in the “made in Europe” fashion industry scene. Within the wide scope of this industry, national players are driving innovation through I&D, creativity, state of the art facilities, technology encompassing AI and AR, speed to market alongside the best kept ingredients: handmade techniques and a close and friendly client relationship management.

Focusing on the commercial side of the business, we convert ideas into projects and these into sustainable and profitable P&L bottom-lines. Thus, through tailored-made solutions, we offer consultancy and management solutions for the fashion industry, covering apparel, textile, accessories, footwear, jewelry and lifestyle brands.

Structured intervention plans are designed in close relation with each client, so all “go-to-market” approaches meet clients’ needs. Because each client is a business partner, cost effective business models and players empowerment through knowledge acquisition and shared experiences are delivered on a case-by-case approach.

Elsa was always available to integrate all group works that would require her experience/knowledge and was, yet, always keen to learn from other demonstrating a great teamwork s
