starting a business in fashion

jump start your entrepreneurial venture

Entrepreneurship has never been more attractive. Access to opportunity and capital has never been easier. Unfortunately however, starting a company in fashion is not an endeavour to be taken lightly. Fashion is a very capital-intensive industry, and managing such a project requires great business skills not only creative ones.

In this free course we put together some to-the-point material so that you can understand where challenges may lie and what you should prepare for as you set out in this adventure. 

The course is comprised of four free lessons, (available upon registration) which will allow you to learn the ropes of entrepreneurship, when it comes to creating a product or service, develop your personal brand, attract investors and how to put together a persuasive business plan.

thE FASHION inDUSTRY: explained

gain an edge in managing your fashion brand

The fashion industry is fascinating as much as it is complex. Within a single garment, there’s the work of people managing processes that span from the most creative to the most analytical. 

In this course we are going to break the industry apart and identify all the interconnections that a leader must consider in the process of decision-making. 

Starting a new fashion brand, or growing an existing one is very capital-intensive. In this course we’ll help you understand in what ways your business endeavour can save money from day one and create value for your customers.

fashion sustainability

manage your business in a sustainable way

The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. New generations are demanding more accountability from the brands they choose to purchase. 

In this course we’ll look into how the case sustainable fashion needs to be grounded into a solid business foundation, so that companies can sustain the change processes that the environment requires and acquire company value.

From the transparency of the supply chain to the certifications that can be gained, there’s a lot a company can do to make sustainability more than wishful thinking, but a competitive edge to its competitors.

what our students say

I studied with 440 Industries in the very early stages of it and I learned so much about the music industry both from a domestic and international perspective. Being able to work with Thomas affirmed me in my own career path of wanting to pursue the arts and being a part of this internship showed me the business aspect of what it means to pursue art full time and be successful. I would intern with 440 industries again and I would recommend to anybody who is interested in business consulting.

Working with 440 Industries brought my love of the entertainment industry in the U.S to Florence. Thomas is one of the most creative, smart and kind people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He challenged us to think about creative industries in ways that applied both domestic and international perspectives. I highly suggest this internship program to anyone studying abroad in Florence, Italy.
Kiana ParkerUC Berkley, Fall 2017
Working at 440 Industries added a tremendous amount to my experience abroad. I was initially hesitant to take on an internship as I thought it might take up all my time, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Every moment working with, and learning about, the perspectives of Italians reminded me of the reason I came to study there - to experience their amazing culture. This internship provides such amazing insight into the lives of Italians and even now, a year later, every interview I've had has started with: "Tell me about this experience you had in Italy''.
Samuel SeverUC Berkley, Fall 2017
I couldn’t have asked for a more immersive learning experience. Not only was I able to help small businesses in Florence, but I was able to dive into the Italian culture in ways I never would have imagined. I was able to bring skills that I learned back at home to make a tangible impact on small businesses in Italy.
Alexander SchullUniversity of Minnesota, Spring 2018
During my time at 440 Industries I was able to meet many interesting people and gain valuable experience that I’ll be able to take with me wherever I decide to go in my career. I would suggest that any student interested in pursuing a career in business apply for this opportunity. It provides students with an excellent opportunity to gain real-world experience and learn business techniques that simply cannot be taught in a classroom.
