About Club Debut
CLUB DEBUT is a platform for independent fashion designers (with a non-exclusive emphasis on designers of color) and creative professionals (including photographers, videographers, graphic designers, animators, film makers, content producers, musical talent, visual artists, performing artists and others). Our primary mission is to provide independent fashion designers, who are creating the sustainable brands of the future, with all the tools they need in one ecosystem – making sustainable fashion possible and profitable; from design to retail to recycle / disposal.
Our Infrastructure As A Service model allows creative entrepreneurs to secure the resources that they need to run their businesses effectively, without having to incur the cost of building each component of the business infrastructure independently. Our service infrastructure include: design services, manufacturing services, creative services, business services, e-commerce related services among others. We also have a network of partners and collaborators who provide specialized technology and other services to support projects as needed.
Strategic Priorities
