From Craft to Business Foundations
When Fashioning Jamaica first began, the focus was on craftsmanship — teaching participants how to design, cut, and sew garments. But as the project evolved, it became clear that technical skills alone were not enough.
To succeed in today’s fashion industry, participants also need entrepreneurial knowledge. The curriculum has since expanded to bridge the gap between craft and business, covering:
- Supply chain management
- Branding and storytelling
- Business development
- Financial planning
This holistic approach ensures participants leave not only as skilled artisans, but also as empowered entrepreneurs, capable of launching their own brands or collaborating with existing businesses.
