Build the skills you need to lead
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.
My mission is to help bridge the gap between education and industry. Through practical fashion buyer training that actually works.
Through my online fashion buyer training programmes, and consulting services, I help fashion professionals master both fashion buying and fashion merchandising skills to advance their career in fashion. Here’s how:
First, understand the buying cycle from concept to consumer
Next, master commercial skills like margin management, OTB planning, and sales analysis
Then learn to think strategically about range building, supplier relationships, and business impact
Finally, build confidence in decision-making and leadership
This isn’t surface-level theory. It’s the insider knowledge you need to become a Fashion Buyer that businesses want to promote.
