Build the Skills You Need to Lead

LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Hello !  I’m Elisabeth Mac Hale, Over the past 25 years I’ve worked across both design and buying for global fashion brands. Additionally I’ve hired, trained, and promoted buyers at every level. As a result, I know exactly what separates those who thrive from those who plateau.

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help bridge the gap between education and industry. Through practical fashion buyer training that actually works.

Here’s how my online fashion courses and consulting services help fashion professionals:

  • First, understand the complete buying cycle from concept to consumer

  • Next, master commercial skills like margin management, OTB planning, and sales analysis

  • Then, think strategically about range building, supplier relationships, and business impact

  • Finally, build confidence in decision-making and leadership

Remember: This isn’t surface-level theory. It’s the insider knowledge you need to become the buyer, that businesses want to promote.
