“I have worked with Clare since April 2022 (ongoing) and during that time she has helped me to conceptualise, develop and launch ALTORY. From a completely cold start and with no experience I have managed  to launch a brand that is true to my original vision and commercially viable. None of this would have been possible without Clare’s guidance and expertise.  Our garments have been featured by key press and influencers and we are on track to hit seven figures in sales but the greatest validation for me is seeing people wearing them in real life, it’s an incredible feeling that I doubt will ever get old.”- Altory

“Clare is a dream to work with. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, a great problem solver and fully invested in your business and success. I worked with her to find the best manufacturing partner for my new, luxury silk nightwear brand, which is not a simple task. Through her wide network and strong relationships I now have a fantastic manufacturing partner, and was fully supported throughout the manufacturing process, as well as through many other aspects of launching the brand. Clare feels like another member of your team, and seamlessly gets to grips with what you need and how she can help. She will always support, is great in a crisis and will always go above and beyond to get the best results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”

Clare's expertise and knowledge in the fashion industry are unmatched, and she was able to offer invaluable insights and guidance on how to take my brand to the next level.

From the moment we began our session, Clare was attentive, supportive, and genuinely interested in helping me achieve my goals. She took the time to understand my brand's vision, values, and target audience, and provided actionable strategies that were tailored to my specific needs.

What I appreciated most about working with Clare was her ability to simplify complex concepts and make them easy to understand. She also gave me the confidence to trust my instincts and make informed decisions that aligned with my brand's identity.

Overall, I highly recommend Clare Alexander as a fashion brand consultant. Her expertise, professionalism, and passion for helping others succeed are truly inspiring, and I am confident that anyone who works with her will benefit greatly from her knowledge and insights.

  • “I've had two strategy sessions with Clare now for my fashion brand. I'm 18 months in so with a bit of experience behind me and wanted some guidance on planning my new collection. Clare and I covered everything, looking at all the data from previous sales, what my customers like, how to use existing patterns to create new pieces at a lower development cost, and came up with a range I'm really excited about. I've learnt so much from her in this short time and now our chats are a must for each new season. It gives me confidence that I'm making the best decisions, and helps me to learn and grow as a business owner from someone's who's been doing it for bigger brands for years. I can't recommend Clare enough.”

  • “Clare has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the retail industry. I am currently developing a clothing line with almost zero industry experience and I have found the 1:1 ‘power hour’ sessions to be very productive. The opportunity to speak with Clare and talk through my ideas has been valuable and reassuring. I am confident that her guidance has helped me to make the best decisions for my business.”

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Clare over the course of 3 years collaborating on my Millie Mackintosh clothing brand.  I was particularly impressed by Clare's ability to handle the development of product and source fabrics efficiently and effortlessly. She really took the time to understand the brand and our needs, bringing an important manufacturing perspective to our development and designs meetings.  Clare is a dedicated and creative individual who was passionate and supportive of me and my brand and it was lovely to work with her”

  • “Working with Clare was always a joy. She was super enthusiastic and highly efficient with a brilliant way of managing expectations whilst delivering a top-quality product.”

  • “5 star rating!! Clare has been absolutely wonderful to work with, not only does Clare go above and beyond but her knowledge and experience in the fashion industry speaks volumes. Clare is very well informed and is always thinking outside of the box, coming up with creative and efficient solutions to help achieve the goals.

    What I personally love about working with Clare is her capability to see the whole picture when laying out options, she lets me know of the drawbacks and positives of each option and then together we weigh each one and proceed with the option that makes the most sense. 2020 being a tough year for everyone, Clare helped me navigate through it, from supply chain solutions to sourcing sustainable suppliers.

    I would absolutely recommend working with Clare to anyone thinking of starting up their own fashion brand or even if you already are working in the fashion industry and need a consultant to help you move to the next step. I only wish that I met Clare sooner”

  • “Working with Clare was an absolute pleasure. When we weren’t sure how to begin the process of finding a manufacturer Clare was there through every step of the process and guided us towards how to streamline our production and create great quality products with a new manufacturer. Clare’s knowledge of production and sourcing is amazing and helped to really reach the next level in our business.”
    - VC LONDON: GEMMA HARRISON

  • “I had been struggling with navigating my business for a little while after gaining a substantial audience and selling lots of my product, it was getting overwhelming and I felt a little lost. Clare came through with an action plan that got me excited and re energised about my brand and business. I have left our session with a huge smile and lots of motivation! We brainstormed together and she talked me through some great practices and suppliers I would never have thought of or found on my own. It was a great experience and I feel really confident now! Looking forward to the next one :)”

  • “As a solopreneur trying to build and scale a brand in the current market, there are a lot of challenges and constant overwhelm to keep so many plates spinning. Clare is the right-hand woman I need by my side, not only does she have the industry expertise and experience to lead on the design development and manufacturing processes, but she is such a great support for every other aspect of the business too. Clare possesses that rare combination of intelligent intuition and commercial savviness that means she gets the right things done fast.”
