About our communities.
BFB was started on the experience of Esteban Julian - an ambitious entrepreneur who faced the common challenges of the fashion industry.
In 2014, when Esteban was starting his first brand, he realized how difficult it was to succeed in this industry without the right access to education and fashion networks. Therefore, he created BFB so that fashion entrepreneurs can learn the questions with hard-to-find answers, and connect with the peers that they will succeed with.
It’s no coincidence that all successful fashion entrepreneurs succeeded together with a peer group of fellow fashion entrepreneurs. This group advice, support, and connection sharing is invaluable.
So, we decided to create these groups. Members have access to a tribe of entrepreneurs who are going through the same things as you.
Weekly/Monthly Core Groups
A group of 10 to 20 founders with an executive facilitator, who leads weekly video call discussions where advice and critical feedback is shared to help accelerate your brand's growth.
Digital Community
Access to a digital and highly engaged community of fashion founders all over the world who provide helpful advice & share their networks of manufacturers, vendors, agents, agencies, consultants, freelancers, and key industry players.
24/7 Support
Members have access to a private WhatsApp group where they can ask questions, and receive personalized feedback from the group facilitator and other members 24/7.
Speakers & Masterclasses
We know how important it is to have access to the best and brightest. So, we host unique online workshops with top fashion leaders and executives across a variety of topics so that you can ask questions and get personalized feedback directly from the best people & most qualified people in the fashion industry.
