Learn to Build and Manage Your Fashion Brand with Confidence

Running a fashion label is a lot more than just great design, it’s understanding production, fit, sourcing, timelines, and how to communicate with your factory. Our Mentorship & Subscription Program was created for founders who want to learn how to manage these parts of their business properly, with guidance from the Techstyle Studio team.

Each tier gives you practical tools, training, and real-world support, not theory. You’ll learn how to use professional templates, track your development, and communicate with manufacturers the way established brands do.

Whether you’re managing your own production or starting to build internal capability, you’ll have access to the same systems and processes we use in our studio every day.

Glossary

Fashion development comes with its own language, and understanding it helps you make confident decisions.

MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
The smallest number of units a factory or supplier will agree to produce in one order. For example, an MOQ of 100 units means you must order at least 100 pieces of that style.
MCQ refers to the Minimum Colour Quantity 

Tech Pack 
A blueprint for your garment. It includes sketches, measurements, materials, trims, labels, and construction details so the factory knows exactly how to make your product.

Pattern
A template used to cut fabric pieces that make up a garment. Patterns are created digitally (in software like StyleCAD) or manually on paper. They are the foundation of garment construction.

CAD Sketch (Computer-Aided Design)
In fashion, CAD usually refers to a clean Illustrator trade sketch of a garment. Unlike a fashion illustration, it shows the garment’s details (seams, stitches, trims) clearly for production use.

BOM (Bill of Materials)
A detailed list of every component that goes into a garment. This includes main fabrics, linings, threads, buttons, zippers, labels, and packaging. It’s part of the tech pack and helps with costing and ordering materials.

Grading
The process of creating a range of sizes from a base pattern. For example, grading turns a size 10 pattern into size 8, 12, 14, etc.

Size Chart
A table that shows the measurements for each size (e.g., bust, waist, hip, length). This guides factories and ensures your garments fit as intended.

Sample
A prototype of your garment made before bulk production. Samples are used to check fit, design, and construction before approving the final run.

PP Sample
Pre-Production Sample: The final sample to approve before production

Strike-off
A small fabric swatch printed or dyed to test colour and print accuracy before full production.

Lead Time
The amount of time needed to produce and deliver your order once everything is approved.

Block 
A basic pattern that has been tested for fit and balance. We use blocks as a starting point to create new styles.

Spec Sheet (Specification Sheet)
Part of the tech pack that lists detailed measurements and construction notes for each garment.

QC
Quality Control

Client Communication & Time Tracking

At Techstyle Studio, we treat every aspect of the development process with care, including communication. Whether it’s a fitting, a tech pack review, or an email exchange, each interaction contributes to creating successful product outcomes.

To ensure our time is managed and accounted for fairly, all client communication (emails, calls, messages, and information requests) is recorded and billed at our standard hourly rate, in 15-minute increments. This approach allows us to provide thoughtful, expert responses while maintaining the level of attention your project requires.

The guidance we provide is grounded in years of technical expertise, industry best practice, and a commitment to ethical, low-waste processes. If our recommendations on process or method are not followed, Techstyle Studio may withdraw from the project. This ensures that both our time and your investment are directed towards proven practices that not only deliver the best results, but also minimise unnecessary waste and uphold ethical standards.

By working this way, we ensure that your product is created responsibly, with integrity, and with the long-term success of your brand in mind.
