MellowClo Founder Ted Lloyd on Building a Hit Fashion Brand
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We're buzzing with this week's guest as our first Manchester Fashion Institute alumnus of the season joins us just as his brand goes stratospheric.
Ted Lloyd started the brand that would become MellowClo while studying BA Fashion Buying and Merchandising, but it was his experience working in the buying team at SEVENSTORE that really supercharged his understanding of how the industry works from a brand's POV.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has dreams of starting their own brand. Ted has been steadily building MellowClo for years, and he shares lots of incredible advice with us.
If you're not already familiar with MellowClo, find them on Instagram here: instagram.com/mellowclo.
Major props to our producer Evie, who stepped in to host this week, as Cat couldn't make it. We think she absolutely smashed it. Be sure to comment and/or review if you agree.
