Description:
Arian Chanle, Inc is a new luxury brand entering the fashion industry. I, Tamelia Thomas, am the founder/owner. I have designed my first collection/season (Fall 2012) and attended the New York Fashion trade shows. I received tremendous amount of positive feedback from various buyers/retailers at the show. I could not take orders because production monies or a factor were not in place. Instead, I communicate with retailers that we were not taking orders at this time but we wanted to get feedback to improve on the product. I have funded this project on my own so far, coming out of pocket about $$200,000. I have a physical location for the business that is used for work space, showroom, and the possibility of setting up factory for in house production in the near future. I am seeking a investor so that I may move forward and produce a collection for the next season Spring/Summer 2014. I have maintained relationship with some retailers who would be willing to make purchase orders.
