Mentorship Sessions
It's a turbulent world out there, and the fashion industry can be hard to break into...
Due to popular demand, I've decided to introduce bookable 121 mentorship for early-stage designers. Whether you've just graduated and are feeling slightly lost, or your juggling jobs alongside your 'bedroom studio' (I know how it feels!) - I'd love to offer my business & creative advice to help you on your next steps. I have 10 years in industry and education.
My experience
(Shannen Samuel, Founder)
- Started my own Sustainable brand in 2016
- Founded bleaq in 2021
- Worked in education since 2023 teaching Level 3, Level 4 and Apprenticeships (Fashion Business/Marketing/Corporate Retail/ Sustainability & Garment Technology)
- Curated shows, photoshoots and pop-ups all over the globe
Things we can chat about;
- Strategy & price points
- Market placement and stockists
- Portfolio & creative advice
- Scaling up production
- Legal advice ie, contracts, loaning your garments, insurance (upon request dependent on our in-house advisors availability)
- Creative direction / collab opportunites utilising our network and industry connections
Each session is 1 hour and tailored to you as an individual. They are developmental in nature, meaning I prepare based on your specific needs and provide resources as we work through each session. To make a meaningful impact and build a strong mentor-mentee relationship, a minimum of 3 sessions is recommended :) You can choose to book 1 off sessions or a discounted package. BOOK BELOW >>>
Bleaq’s focus on care, craft, and emerging voices really reflects our values — making space for stories that matter. Bleaq is the shared belief in doing things with care and purpose. I love that you champion emerging voices who are thinking differently.
