Hi, I'm Lisa Springsteel Dupré, and I am the Founder and CEO of Launch Your Collection and the author of the book, Becoming a Fashion Designer (Wiley).

 

I  was sitting in my apartment on the Upper East Side in Manhattan back in 2011, finalizing the manuscript to my book Becoming a Fashion Designer (Wiley) when I realized how many times I had heard or read about someone who was struggling to start their own apparel brand, with no background in fashion, and no idea where to begin. I then had an epiphany. Why don't I use all the incredible experience I had accumulated while working almost 20 years in the New York fashion industry to help entrepreneurs launch their own apparel brand?

 

It was at that moment

that Launch Your Collection was born.

 

I knew I needed to make the complex process of launching an apparel brand, easy, streamlined, fun, and a creative journey of a lifetime. So I pulled together a foolproof business model and the greatest superstar of a team, who would act as a personal consulting team to each of our clients, right alongside me. I also knew how important it was to educate our clients so they could fully understand the launch process - both the creative and business sides, and truly become a fashion designer under our wings.

​

It was at that moment that our Learn as You Launch™ philosophy came into being.

​

Using our Learn as You Launch™ philosophy, my in-house creative team and I will guide, educate, and mentor you step-by-step through the launch process, so you can save time and avoid costly mistakes, and always have an expert and knowledgeable team by your side, every step of the way.

​

Welcome to launching made easy.
