Fashion Technology Designers & Startups

We do online what we do offline. it's not about  likes tweets follows or shares ... It's about  sales and how we  use the  likes tweets follows or shares to SELL

It was so easy working with these young people... they  took to the technology like fish to water. It was the practical product development that  challenged and now that they've shown... getting them to  focus on what sells

what woks what does not! 

For those who register and attend this is not hype but rather masters in the Art of Design using technology! We're more or less opening up the usual converstions I have with colleagues from around the world on the practical Application of technology ... You'll be amazed at what you learn, how you're inspired and  yes they're successful! So much so they're even challenging themselves further!  On  Saturday 25th 9-11 We invite you inside the coworking space to see how we explore technology no holds barred as we share ideas on tele-presence, coworking, and open design with a mixed group of artist in various disciples how to use tele-presence. If you want to attend in Brooklyn use the contact form at the end of the page!

During our try cowork  we got asked by argentina, Uk, and netherlands to be part of teh program... May  1-31 we'll be adding  Virtual support so that artist in other areas can participate;- If you want to add your are contact me  St. Lucia, Paris, Nigeria already are on board... I'll be honest  we'll be designing this program as we move ahead!  Many aspect of this concept has been tested and is working  now we're pulling it  together both online and offline. Introducing Skills , business, creativity and tech over teh next month! (there is a learning curve)  I ned your support 

I'm bringing $3,500000  of  creative capital, blood sweat and tears and expertise to the Fashiontech Creative Evolution 3.0  table and now finally new rules will count it as an "investment" part of the GDP!

Again I'm ahead of the curve!

I've always asked the creatives I work with to value their creative collateral!   So what  does that mean... well  at $50 an hour that's $2,800,000 -  $3,500000 (frankly my expertise is  worth no less than $100 an hour but I'll be humble LOL); Even at  $30 an Hour that's an investment of $1,680000 to  $2100000! 

So how did I come to those numbers

I've been exploring  designing developing the program since 2003 averaging 16-20 hrs for an average of 350  days literally! 56000 -70000 hrs of  creative capital, blood sweat and tears and now finally new rules will count it as an "investment" part of the GDP! Reading, resarching, brainstorming, testing  refining, brainstorming   day dreaming... 
 

I came to this with By the time I started in 2003 I had  10 years experience in independent  design, At  37 20 years selling  my designs,  A strong and eclectic background training, apprenticeship and experience in various creative skills, from cake decorating  to textile design, Fashion , Accessory & leather design, Cobol & basic programming, retail and custom services. I even had creative advocacy experience lobied to change local laws, laid out  a creative training  program and run stores and even plannned an executed an international trade show... That's  worth at least $50 an  hour! 

"EXPERTS" finally realize they've been getting the GDP  numbers wrong..,. That the time we sped researching and exploring  or the time creatives spend daydreaming SHOULD Be counted... No they have not yet added the HOURS we spend on social Media... that may come in 10 to 20 years! 

So what  does it mean.. I do not bat an eye at saying  I'm bringing $ 3 and 1/2 mill to the table with confidence. i know this program works, my concern now is ensuring that that investment does not  die when I do... I'm focused on legacy,  that it is  is passed on to a new generation, It means that what I know needs to be placed into formats that  makes it available in formats,so others can grow and expand on it!  That I ensure it benefits the wider community and future generations!  www.bonniesandy.com

TRY COWORK

Our Fashion Tech Coworking Space in Brooklyn directly addresses "where are the Blacks in the Fashion Tech  Space?"

Where are those involved in the apparel industry! For the  most part these Fashion Tech  companies are by  individuals with Little or no  Fashion Experience! Those with Fashion experience have little or no knowledge of the scope of tech! 

I've kept close tabs on the Fashion Tech  space and since The Last FashionCamp I've personally found little that addresses my interest!  yet i recommend this to all in the apparel business!
