Tired of making tech packs in Illustrator and Excel? AI Tech Packs founder Benjamin Ha shows how brands now make one in about 15 minutes.Building a fashion brand or fashion tech tool? Apply to share your story on Founder's Corner ➡️ https://forms.gle/mR8DM5uRUqg1bAA17In this episode of Founder's Corner, I sit down with Benjamin Ha, founder of AI Tech Packs, the tool that only does one thing: tech packs. Ben sourced for brands in Vietnam, kept receiving weak tech packs or none at all, and built a tool that turns an image and a few notes into a finished, editable tech pack in about 15 minutes. We talk about why nobody wants to make tech packs, why AI will never make one on autopilot, the five dollar Facebook ads that proved the demand, why he told a customer to buy fewer subscriptions and how AI Tech Packs grew to around 300 brands without a single cold email. If you run a fashion brand, work in product development or you are building a fashion tech tool, this one is for you.🎬 Watch more Founder's Corner episodes ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXsREPmh3lvq5NwJyxbRG5ieMPUlqwjU4🎧 Listen and readAll links ➡️ http://linktr.ee/fashionforward_podcast🔔 Subscribe ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@fashionforward_christabelachu💼 Ways to work with me⚡ Fashion Forward Toolbox: tested tools with community discounts, a plain-English glossary of production terms and a directory of vetted service providers ➡️ https://app.notion.com/p/Fashion-Forward-Toolbox-39f593fd073780f99014f135b51f1ac1?source=copy_link⚡ Fashion brands: The Process Audit ➡️ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XTxfiByWcMofDvmNseENXXhuYh0xkcT5zsAeHR8DCRg/edit?usp=sharing⚡ Fashion tech founders: get seen, get found and get launched ➡️ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WouyfcKKdKTcdP_QCaE6BCiojyoHlXvuILU-XVbdpYk/edit?usp=sharing⚡ Apply to be featured on Founder's Corner ➡️ https://forms.gle/mR8DM5uRUqg1bAA17⚡ Join the Fashion Forward community for webinars, templates and resources ➡️ https://fashion-forward-2.kit.com/6b7c095d8d🤝 Connect with meLinkedIn ➡️ http://linkedin.com/in/christabel-achu-106481269Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/christabelachu/Substack ➡️ https://fashionforwardwithchristabel.substack.comLinkedIn newsletter ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7293342530987810816/Email ➡️ [email protected]🤝 Connect with Benjamin HaWebsite ➡️ https://aitechpacks.comEmail ➡️ [email protected]❓ QUESTION: How long does one tech pack take your team right now?

We've heard from manufacturers, technologists and sustainability experts. This is another episode of the Industry Roundtable, Fashion Forward's series where host Christabel Achu sits down with the people actually building, sourcing, producing and shaping fashion, and this one opens a new chapter, the brand founders themselves.Pamela James is the founder and Creative Director of Paloma St James, a modular luxury brand she calls evolving silhouettes, and the author of The Guide To Luxury Modular Fashion. She spent four years in pre-production perfecting a single product before selling a piece, builds her business in units instead of collections and gave Christabel an answer to this series' central question unlike anyone before her.In this episode, Pamela makes the case that overconsumption is a soul issue, not a shopping habit, and that sustainability without a real shift in consumer mindset is still functionally overproduction. She breaks down why she believes technology, not designers, now drives most fashion demand, pointing to companies like Quince building products off search data rather than creative direction, why mass production is actually the newer, more unusual model in fashion history and why she thinks style itself, not another sustainability initiative, is the unfinished work still left to do.If you're building a brand, thinking about what sustainable production actually looks like at a small scale or just tired of hearing this reduced to fabric choices, this conversation will change how you think about the whole picture.(0:00) The Scale of Fashion Waste(2:08) Understanding the Fashion Supply Chain(2:24) The Power Struggle in Fashion: Brands vs. Consumers(4:57) Sustainability: A Journey of Mindset and Soul(7:37) Building a Brand: Quality Over Quantity(10:14) Production Decisions: The Modular Approach(12:52) Demand Dynamics: Who Drives Consumption?(15:30) Technology's Role in Fashion: A Double-Edged Sword(18:08) Connecting with Customers: Authentic Engagement(20:41) The Impact of Overexposure: Building for Longevity(23:16) AI and Technology: Tools for Creativity or Replacement?(26:07) Sampling and Pre-Production: The Hidden Costs of Waste(39:38) Navigating Pre-Production Challenges(42:21) Defining Sustainability in Fashion(44:42) Bridging Intent and Execution in Sustainability(47:30) The Viability of On-Demand Production(51:45) Understanding Overproduction in Fashion(55:25) The Need for Collaboration in the Fashion Industry(1:00:05) Changing Industry Habits for Better Practices(1:01:40) Structural Changes Needed in Fashion EducationModular fashion, sustainable fashion, overproduction vs overconsumption, luxury sustainability, slow fashion, pre-order fashion, on demand production, fashion supply chain.Get her book, The Guide To Luxury Modular Fashion: Create A Wardrobe Of Endless Outfits, here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9KQ7KQW?lv=shuf&language=es&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackRead the full interactive conversation on Substack, and join the Fashion Forward community so you never miss an episode: https://fashion-forward-2.kit.com/6b7c095d8d

Every brand is chasing AI and algorithms. Nina Zhang is building Kibra Active to chase something the industry has almost forgotten: real human connection.Founders Corner is the series where real fashion and technology founders tell the unfiltered truth about building. No PR polish. No vanity metrics. Just the real story.In Episode 08, I sit down with Nina Jiabao Zhang, founder and CEO of Kibra Active, a women's activewear brand that ships to North America, Asia, and the Middle East, built on the belief that the most powerful thing a brand can build is not a product. It is a connection between people.Nina's grandmother started from a single sewing machine in China, divorced with four kids, and built her own fashion label from nothing. Nina herself visited over 300 manufacturers in three months before starting Kibra four years ago, after a thirteen-year-old girl in a Kenyan slum asked her: what is your life's hope? Today, on her 34th birthday, she sat down to tell the whole story.This episode covers the supply chain knowledge that gives Kibra an edge most founders never develop, the driving lane analogy that changed how Nina thinks about focus, why she deliberately keeps AI to about ten percent of her process, how cash flow and operations really work for a self-funded activewear brand, and why a girl who washes her Kibra product every day became the clearest proof of what the brand stands for.New Founders Corner episodes drop regularly.

This is another episode of the Industry Roundtable, Fashion Forward's series where host Christabel Achu sits down with the people actually building, sourcing, producing and shaping fashion, to unpack the industry's biggest tensions from the inside out. We're deep in the sustainability expert chapter now, and this conversation takes the question somewhere different again.Lou Stokes is the founder of The Sustainable Self™, a movement built on one conviction, lasting external change requires internal transformation first. With more than 18 years in fashion and over two decades as a yoga and meditation teacher, she works at the intersection of embodied leadership, conscious fashion and intentional living. She teaches sustainable fashion at MA level, delivers keynotes for purpose-led organisations and has collaborated with brands including Thrive Global, Volvo and VIA Outlets.In this episode, Lou makes the case that overproduction and overconsumption are the same symptom showing up at two ends of one disconnected system, brands chasing growth numbers, consumers chasing a feeling, both running on autopilot. She breaks down why sustainability messaging built on guilt backfires into defensiveness rather than change, why the real shift happens in the pause before a purchase and not the shame after it, and what she'd actually change about how this industry holds itself accountable.If you've ever felt lectured out of caring about sustainability, or you're building a brand trying to communicate it without alienating your customer, this conversation will change how you think about the whole approach.(0:00) The Scale of Fashion Waste(2:08) Understanding the Fashion Supply Chain(2:24) Introduction to Waste in Fashion(4:00) Understanding Overproduction and Overconsumption(7:57) The Culture of Fast Fashion and Consumer Behavior(11:39) The Power Dynamics Between Brands and Consumers(14:58) The Sustainability Movement: Focus on Consumer Behavior(20:57) Pre-Production Waste and Structural Issues in Fashion(25:04) Fragmentation in the Fashion Supply Chain(27:10) Addressing Fragmentation in Fashion(28:27) The Need for Better Communication and Collaboration(30:53) Accountability in the Fashion Supply Chain(32:49) Regulations and Consumer Responsibility(35:11) The Value of Clothing and Consumer Behavior(36:56) On-Demand Production and Consumer Intentions(40:35) Breaking the Consumption Cycle(44:32) Rethinking Sustainability and Guilt(49:01) The Role of All Actors in Waste ManagementSustainable fashion, conscious consumption, overproduction vs overconsumption, intentional living, slow fashion, sustainability communication, fashion regulation.Read the full interactive conversation on Substack,Read the full interactive conversation on ⁠Substack⁠,⁠Join the Fashion Forward community⁠ so you never miss an episode

This is another episode of the Industry Roundtable, Fashion Forward's series where host Christabel Achu sits down with the people actually building, sourcing, producing and shaping fashion, to unpack the industry's biggest tensions from the inside out. We've heard from manufacturers and technologists. This week opens a new chapter, the sustainability experts.Nina Gbor is the founder of Eco Styles and the person who coined the term TRENDmill, the idea that our culture of excessive production and overconsumption stems from a take-make-waste system built to profit off people's insecurity. She was featured in season 3 of ABC TV's War on Waste, where she also worked as an impact consultant, and now runs a national petition calling on the Australian Federal Government to reform the country's fashion and textiles industry.In this episode, Nina makes the case that overproduction and overconsumption are chicken and egg, not two separate problems, breaks down how planned obsolescence trains us to expect products to fail, explains why regulation keeps missing its target and pushes back hard on the idea that consumers alone are responsible for fixing an industry shaped by cost-of-living pressure and gamified shopping apps.If you're building a brand, thinking about sustainability claims or just tired of hearing this problem blamed on one side of the equation, this conversation will shift how you see the whole picture.(0:00) The Scale of Fashion Waste(2:08) Understanding the Fashion Supply Chain(2:24) Understanding Overproduction and Overconsumption(8:37) The Disconnect Between Consumers and Clothing(13:42) Who Holds the Power in Fashion?(16:23) The Role of Regulations in Fashion Sustainability(18:44) Global Approaches to Sustainable Fashion(21:25) Cultural Shifts Towards Sustainable Consumption(23:54) Critique of the Sustainability Movement(26:20) Addressing Fragmentation in the Fashion IndustrySustainable fashion, circular economy, overproduction vs overconsumption, planned obsolescence, fast fashion regulation, fashion trend cycle, right to repair, underconsumption core, fashion policy.Read the full interactive conversation on Substack, Join the Fashion Forward community so you never miss an episode

We've heard from the manufacturers. Now it's the technologists' turn. This is Fashion Forward's Industry Roundtable, where host Christabel Achu sits down with the people actually building, sourcing, and shaping fashion, and asks them the questions everyone else is too polite to ask.Malini Kannan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Nūl, an agentic AI platform helping fashion brands make better inventory decisions and reduce overproduction. She entered fashion through a climate-tech accelerator, spent months shadowing leaders across the value chain, and built a company around one belief, overproduction is solvable, because it's a business decision with real, achievable levers.In this episode, we get into the real math behind fashion's waste problem, why a single cotton t-shirt carries six kilograms of embedded carbon, why the industry produces roughly 150 billion garments a year with 30% never sold, and why most brands have quietly resolved the tradeoff between cost and quantity by just defaulting to the cheapest, highest-MOQ option, without ever really deciding anything at all.If you're building a fashion brand, building fashion tech, or trying to understand where AI actually helps versus where it's just noise, this conversation will change how you think about your next forecast.(0:00) The Scale of Fashion Waste(2:08) Understanding the Fashion Supply Chain(2:24) Introduction and Context of Waste in Fashion(6:40) The Role of Technology in Overproduction(10:59) Disconnect Between Technology and Fashion Operations(15:08) Data Challenges and AI in Fashion(19:03) Addressing Overproduction and Supply Chain Solutions(21:37) The Gap for SMEs and Indie Brands(23:04) Navigating the Tech Landscape for SMEs(25:26) Bridging the Communication Gap in Fashion(27:59) The Need for Unified Data Platforms(30:45) Agility and Digital-First Production Models(34:17) The Role of Data in Demand Forecasting(36:42) Cross-Collaboration in the Fashion Supply Chain(39:15) The Reality of AI in Fashion Technology(40:05) Understanding Overproduction vs. OverconsumptionFashion technology, agentic AI, overproduction vs overconsumption, demand forecasting, fashion supply chain, fashion data, MOQs explained, digital first production, fashion sustainability.Read the full interactive conversation on Substack, and Join the Fashion Forward community so you never miss an episode

This is the Industry Roundtable, Fashion Forward's series where we sit down with the people actually building and producing fashion, to unpack the industry's biggest tensions from the inside out. We just spent three episodes inside the factory with manufacturers. This week, we step into a different room, the technologists building and teaching the tools meant to fix all of this.Mikelle Drew-Pellum has spent over 28 years in fashion as a designer, CAD artist, and product manager, and now runs 383 Design Studio, where she teaches fashion creatives how to actually use technology to build their careers. She's been in the room for every wave of "this will finally fix it," Illustrator, 3D, now AI, and she wasn't about to let any of them off the hook in this conversation.We get into why she calls technology "the gift and the curse," how the same tools that cut down wasteful sampling also power Shein and Temu's weekly drop cycles, why 90% of brands adopt AI tools without knowing what problem they're actually solving, and her theory that overproduction and overconsumption aren't two separate issues, they're one flywheel, and the industry still hasn't found the wrench to break it.If you're a brand founder, a fashion tech founder, or anyone who's ever been skeptical of the next "revolutionary" tool, this one's for you.(0:00) The Scale of Fashion Waste(2:08) Understanding the Fashion Supply Chain(2:24) The Waste Problem in Fashion(3:59) Technology's Role in Overproduction(9:28) Adoption of AI and Tech in Fashion(16:19) The Importance of Data in Fashion(24:25) Challenges for SMEs in Accessing Tech Solutions(29:21) Democratizing Technology for Small Brands(32:08) The Importance of PLM Systems for Small Businesses(36:08) Bridging the Disconnect in the Supply Chain(41:00) The Future of On-Demand Production(46:36) AI and Demand Forecasting in Fashion(52:35) Rethinking Overproduction and ConsumptionFashion technology, AI in fashion, overproduction vs overconsumption, fashion tech adoption, sampling waste, demand forecasting, fashion education, fashion SME technology.Read the full interactive conversation on Substack and Join the Fashion Forward community so you never miss an episode

This is another episode of the Industry Roundtable, Fashion Forward's series unpacking fashion's biggest tensions with the people actually living them. We've heard two technologists give careful, nuanced answers to one question, overproduction or overconsumption. This week, someone finally just picked a side, and told us exactly why.Dorelle McPherson is an AI Creative Technologist at Charles Komar & Sons, working at the intersection of AI and apparel product development, with nearly 30 years in patternmaking, technical design, and fit, and certifications across CLO3D, Browzwear, Style3D, and Optitex. She's spent decades on the exact floor where samples get made, remade, and quietly thrown away.In this episode, Dorelle makes her case for overproduction as fashion's real driver of waste, if you don't make it, you can't buy it, walks us through the sampling waste most people never see, names replenishment culture as a quiet villain nobody talks about, and explains why manufacturers won't hand their trust to technology that hasn't earned it, because real people's livelihoods are riding on that production line.If you're building a brand, sourcing production, or trying to understand why so much fashion tech quietly underdelivers once it hits the factory floor, this conversation will stick with you.(0:00) The Scale of Fashion Waste(2:08) Understanding the Fashion Supply Chain(2:24) The Cost of Fashion Waste: Overproduction vs. Overconsumption(6:54) Technology's Role in Fashion Operations(11:45) Data Utilization in Fashion: The Key to Reducing Waste(16:30) The Gap in Fashion Technology for SMEs(21:23) Launching a Fashion Brand: Challenges and Solutions(22:45) Fragmentation in the Fashion Supply Chain(25:29) On-Demand Production: The Digital First Approach(29:43) Collaboration Across the Supply Chain(33:45) Consumer Collaboration in Reducing Waste(36:22) The Role of Overproduction vs. OverconsumptionFashion technology, overproduction vs overconsumption, patternmaking, replenishment, MOQs explained, made to order fashion, fashion supply chain, AI fashion tools.Read the full interactive conversation on Substack, and Join the Fashion Forward community so you never miss an episode
