Our Story

The garment industry has changed tremendously in the past decade. Social media and e-commerce have changed the speed at which consumers expect new styles to land in their closets – fast. Traditional manufacturing has struggled to keep up with the demand for smaller runs of more styles, and sampling is time-consuming, taking up valuable resources and lead times.

In 2014, Fashion Star was founded to tackle these issues. Our young, energetic team has innovated every step of the process, keeping a finger on the pulse of what brands need. We offer the full range of services, from design, sourcing, sampling, technical solutions and production management. We think outside the box, constantly striving to reduce lead times and maintain the quality standards we’ve become known for.

Relying on long-term relationships with trusted suppliers and manufacturers, and our in-house creative team, we take a product from initial idea to final quality control in one streamlined process.

We’re flexible – able to accommodate smaller, more frequent runs of constantly changing styles in order to create a lean and responsive manufacturing cycle for our clients.

How We Work

We Create and Innovate

Design and sampling is done in-house, enabling us to work directly with brands to optimize results. Our goal is to reduce the number of samples needed for any given style, which is why we’re investing in 3D technology.

It allows us to render 3D models during the design process, drastically reducing the lead time in the prototyping phase.

We Care

We work with a trusted group of factories, with whom we have long-term relationships with. We make regular visits to assure that they are following our set guidelines and to have an open two-way communication channel in order to make sure that they understand international manufacturing regulations and practices. Our sourcing services include a range of sustainable, eco-friendly fabrics.

We Watch Closely

Managing the product cycle beginning to end allows us to prevent mistakes and miscommunications that could cause costly delays. We keep our hands in every step, ensuring that each style, each piece, each stitch is the highest possible quality, and shipped out in the most efficient manner. Our ability to accommodate smaller runs, as little as one hundred units per style, allows brands to experiment creatively while optimizing sell-through.

We Insist on Quality

We are sticklers for this. Working so closely with our factories allows us to monitor quality closely, emphasizing accountability throughout the whole team – designers, factory managers, cutters, sewers – creating memorable pieces that help your customers fall in love with your brand.
