Nicole Giordano is the undisputed business champion for independent fashion designers.  Born and raised in Philadelphia, Giordano entered the fashion profession as a textile designer and soon learned the industry was more bureaucratic and imposing than she liked.  So, she did something about it!  She launched the Startup FASHION blog to discuss business challenges many designers encounter.  The blog eventually grew into a successful membership sponsored company assisting a community of over 500 designers and fashion creatives.Giordano is a smart, articulate, witty and inordinately passionate about Startup FASHION and the role it plays in the lives of “fashionpreneurs” saying, “our mission is to help entrepreneurs design lives they love by building businesses that succeed.” Giordano seems to relish her role as designer advocate and brings a fresh perspective to the fashion world reminding us all that fashion is business!  In multiple occasions throughout the interview, listeners will literally feel the passion as Giordano makes the case why independent designers must learn and manage the distinction between a fashion business and a fashion career.At its core, Startup FASHION is providing the fashion business education designers should have cultivated in college. For Giordano, the lack of formal business training is clearly a sore and baffling subject that has been discussed in academia ad nauseum.  However, one still wonders why most fashion design programs across the world fail to incorporate any business education?  The oversight and/or indifference to the business side of the industry has left a white space that Giordano and Startup FASHION are happy to fill. But fashion academia’s apathy towards churning out designers without an ounce of business acumen remains obvious.Beyond the business of fashion, the interview covers a variety of industry related topics including sustainability, fashion ethics and the impact of COVID-19.  And, of course, Giordano responds and speaks intelligently to each issue.In the massive international ever-changing fashion industry, it is comforting for independent designers to know there is a serious and experienced support community like Startup FASHION to assist in managing such a challenging environment.  More important, Nicole Giordano is the CEO!  Enjoy!www.startupfashion.comListen to the new podcast Startup FASHION: Do it Your Way on Apple Podcasts

How to Build a Membership Community: Nicole Giordano

This week on the Becoming Fearless podcast, meet Nicole Giordano, the Founder of StartUp Fashion, an online resource and community that helps independent fashion brands reach their entrepreneurial goals. Nicole went to school for textile design, and the more she learned about the fashion industry, the more she realized what she didn’t like about it – namely, its exclusivity and lack of collaboration. So, Nicole started a blog that eventually became StartUp Fashion. Join Nicole and Annie as they talk finding internal motivation, building community, creating a mantra, setting boundaries for yourself, and knowing what success means to you.

Industry Leaders from the world of Beauty &amp; Fashion providing thought provoking insights from Inspiring minds. Guests are interviewed on their experiences in both Fashion and Beauty and offer the Beauty Fashion and War audience guidance, wisdom and candor.   Nicole Giordano Bio Nicole Giordano has been critical in the launch of hundreds of independent designers’ successful fashion businesses. In addition to founding StartUp FASHION, she has partnered on special projects with WWD MAGIC and eBay FASHION. I use my 10+ years of experience in the fashion industry to assist brands with creating an online presence through website content, editorial creation, and social media development. In 2011, this experience led to the opportunity to spend a year living in  Singapore as the Vice President of Digital Content for an international fashion and lifestyle e-commerce platform. It was one of the most enriching and exciting years of my life, filled with hard work, extensive travel, and great food! In 2009 I founded StartUp FASHION, the leading online resource and educational platform for independent fashion brands. Prior to launching StartUp FASHION, I founded and led the artistic development for Nicole Giordano Textiles LLC, my New York based accessories brand as well as consulted on the textile direction and raw materials sourcing for fashion labels such as Jill Stuart, Doo.Ri, Prabal Gurung, and Porter Grey. I currently work to build StartUp FASHION into an even greater resource for the independent industry while simultaneously consulting on digital content strategy for fashion, textile, and lifestyle brands. Must Read’s: The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It  Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here  Description:  "In this first new and totally revised edition of the 150,000-copy underground bestseller, The E-Myth, Michael Gerber dispels the myths surrounding starting your own business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business. He walks you through the steps in the life of a business from entrepreneurial infancy, through adolescent growing pains, to the mature entrepreneurial perspective, the guiding light of all businesses that succeed. He then shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business whether or not it is a franchise. Finally, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. After you have read The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way." More Must Read’s: To Kill A MockingBird    Look Inside on Amazon - Click Here Description:  "The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic. Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature." Technology That Rocks!  Favorite Internet Resource:  www.startupfashion.com Startup Fashion | Description:  "… StartUp FASHION takes the mystery out of starting and running your fashion business by giving you a place to talk shop, find answers, and feed your entrepreneurial soul."
