People often start with a new Fashion Brand or Clothing Line because they have an excellent idea for a garment or a clothing line. So they start by hiring a fashion designer and assume that the rest will just follow. But unfortunately, most of those people (around 90 percent) will fail. My name is Richard Roelofse. For almost three decades, I have worked as a Fashion Designer and Fashion Design Strategist for leading Fashion Brands, Sports Brands and Fashion Retail Chains.

I have designed clothing collections for a great variety of target groups and sales territories, including Europe, Asia, Russia, The Middle East, Australia and North America. Next to design work, I helped Leading Fashion Brands establish new clothing lines, and I helped them to reposition their brand strategy to the needs and tastes of modern time.

In my career, I have also successfully set up my own Fashion Brands, and was responsible for the design, manufacturer sourcing, product development, marketing and sales.

From Fashion Start-Ups Chief Product Officer - O'Neill Europe "It has been a pleasure working with Richard at O'Neill Europe in his role as Head of Product Design. I have seen Richard as a very passionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic creative lead in the Product Team. His creative, strategic direction & hands-on mentality makes him unique, and it creates an atmosphere of commercial opportunities. He translates significant emerging trends with sustainable innovation and high-quality standards to get strong brand signature collections for the right consumer profile". Jan Lindeboom Head Of Product - O'Neill Europe "It was good working with Richard at the O'Neill Product department. In a short time, he was able to lead the design team toward the 'Next Level'. 'Throughout his strong trend and concept presentations, he could convince the product and leadership teams about a new product strategy and collections. Richard's designs are elevated, efficient, creative and commercial. Yet he never loses focus on the end user/consumer".

Fashion Start-Ups often forget that in order to become successful, they must create products that consumers want to buy. As a result, they start without a commercial strategy and without targeting a specific consumer group. Also, they are unaware of all required investments and the margins needed to make a profit. This lack of knowledge will result in unnecessary costs, low sales and financial loss. Below you can see three commonly made mistakes by fashion start-ups. 1 - Limited Industry Knowledge

"People change, generations change, and I am fascinated how this is translated through fashion and clothing. I always try to understand the mindset of people through their clothing choices and their individual styling. Always guessing who they are, what they want to become, and what they want to express. It is all about my curiosity really".
