a look behind the seams
HI! I'M MELANIE! And, this simple play on words is what i am all about - i take you right into the factory with me, showing you firsthand the secretive world of apparel manufacturing, from fiber to finished garment.
I have worked with the behemoths like Walmart and Target, as well as shaky startups that evolved into cult favorites like Nili Lotan and Hunter Boot - living and working in countries like China, India, Taiwan, and the Philippines where I got to see first-hand how the fashion industry operates. Now I have a few ideas about how we can all be doing better.
