Service overview

At fc.studio, we take brands from concept to production with creative direction, concept creation, trend forecasting, design development, factory-ready tech packs, sourcing, and product development. Take a look at the packages we offer:

  • Payment Structure: Fixed total cost, based on project scope.

    Bring your ideas to life with one of our tailored design packages. We start by refining your vision during the concept phase, followed by detailed design development to bring your ideas to life. Finally, our comprehensive tech packs ensure your designs are ready for production, covering everything you need from start to finish.

  • Payment Structure: Agreed monthly charge.

    Our flexible monthly retainer gives fashion brands ongoing access to our full range of services, including creative direction, concept creation, trend forecasting, design development, factory-ready tech packs, sourcing, and product development. Get the support you need, when you need it.

  • Payment Structure: Varies by Project.

    Our flexible product development and sourcing service provides end-to-end support, from finding the right materials and manufacturers to managing the sampling process. We ensure quality, fit, and timely delivery, without long-term commitments, allowing you to scale services as needed to meet your project demands.

  • Payment Structure: £1,000 - includes pre-prep, a kick-start call prior to the day, and a 1hr follow-up call after the session.

    This one-day intensive service is designed to give your brand’s design team a fresh set of eyes and a sharp plan forward.

    If your team needs help to:

    ↳ Identify gaps in your current product range
    ↳ Develop and refine a core collection that aligns with your brand’s message and values
    ↳ Create a clear product strategy and forecast for the next 12–18 months

    …this day is for you.

    We’ll spend a full day diving deep into your brand’s vision and goals — reviewing what’s working, where the gaps are, and what’s next. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a clear, actionable roadmap and a focused strategy to guide your design and product direction.

    Get in touch to discuss details and tailor the session to your brand’s needs.
