Beyond the sketch: The hidden jobs in clothing #118

Most people picture one job when they think about fashion: designer. Or perhaps a pattern maker if you are deeply into sewing (like us!). But the clothing industry is a whole ecosystem, and most of the key roles happen far away from the sketchbook.

In this episode, Malena and Johanna break down how the apparel business actually works. From global players to small independent brands, they walk through all the roles that shape what we wear.

If you’re curious about building a career in clothing or just want to understand what really happens behind the scenes, then this episode is for you!
