Katie of Pirouette talks with Piero Iacomoni of Monnalisa, Mogens Jepsen of Molo, Shoshana Kazab of Fuse Coms & Kidswear Collective. They discuss their origin stories and the difficulties and opportunities in kids’ fashion at the moment:
Is a constant growth strategy realistic at the moment? Are current economic conditions ideal for growing the pre-loved market? How to deal with production issues such as delays? Is the current payment cycle prohibitive to new brands entering the market? Is there an alternative?| What are the biggest challenges facing the pre-loved market? The do’s and don’ts of working with agents. Where are independent brands positioned in regards to the pre-loved market? Are collaborations the future of the kids fashion business?
