KT Mildren launched ‘Katharina Lou,’ her fashion business in 2021 after having lots of spare time (& creative ideas!) in lockdown.

Since then she has grown a cool community online of fashion followers and has also become best known for her hit Olly Rose dress!

Starting with bold feminine pink pieces which were all made to order, since then it has evolved into a more grungy aesthetic. 

KT shares her tips for pivoting, creating sell out launches, how to find the right influencers for your brand and how to get out of a negative cycle which so many founders face.

In this episode we discuss :

• The 80/20 rule: 80% of your sales will come from 20% of your products so ‘If it’s ain’t broke, then don’t fix it.’ If you have a best seller, relaunch it in different colour ways and styles, don’t try to always reinvent the wheel. 

• The importance of going to see your manufacturers in person: you get things done quicker, you can build relationships, you can check that they fit in with your values and they are likely to work harder for you after you’ve made the effort to come and see them. 

• The power of taking a break and space from your business: sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pausing and taking a holiday to reignite the creativity in you and help you get out of a negative cycle.

Rani and Co started as a fashion brand in 2017 when Ramona started selling feminist clothing with slogans & selling jewellery on the side. The jewellery was doing really well and actually selling more than the clothes so in 2020, Ramona pivoted and turned it into a jewellery business.

She kept the feminist theme & included goddess and queen collections that routinely sell out and created a strong community of customers  in the process.

• Importance of creating content using story telling. Whether you are a newly launched business, or a fully fledged brand. Don’t underestimate the power of story telling to build authenticity and connection with your online audience, especially on TikTok.

• Building hype around your new product launches. Creating excitement about who, when, where, why but saving the what until last. This creates the story first and gets people super excited.

• Learning how to market your products. You must spend the majority of your time marketing your product, and learning how to sell it. Try everything and then you will work out what works best.

In today's episode, we have the talented and inspiring Lydia Bolton, a fashion designer and founder of her own brand. Lydia's journey in the fashion industry has been nothing short of remarkable, filled with twists and turns that have led her to where she is today.

Lydia Bolton is a sustainability creator and a slow fashion designer who founded her namesake brand in 2019. A zero-waste advocate, she works meticulously with sleeping stock, deadstock fabrics and thrifted items to create luxury but accessible womenswear apparel and homeware that doesn’t cost the earth.

With her collections consciously small, Lydia has also turned to helping brands find new ways to fight fashion waste, reduce landfill through brand partnerships and teaching workshops. She has collaborated with brands such as Lime, Nike, Ecover, River Island, Channel 4, Manchester United and Westfield.

A core part of her work involves creating and hosting upcycling workshops to empower more people with the skills to tackle textile waste themselves. Lydia shows how, with skills and creativity, we can extend the lifetime of each garment so it becomes a treasured wardrobe staple for years to come.

In this episode, we'll get an inside look into Lydia's career, from her humble beginnings as an intern to launching her own brand focused on upcycling and sustainability. Lydia will share the challenges she faced, the lessons she's learned, and her insights into the intersection of creativity, business, and sustainability.
