Thierry Bayle - Founder of GFM
Thierry is the founder of Global Fashion Management & the London Fashion Business Academy. He brings over 25 years' international experience in the business of fashion working every month with Brands and Retailers. He is very familar with all the stakeholders and functions in the company.
His knowledge and expertise are your knowledge and expertise. If you are ready to take it on-board, he is ready to share it with you.
Every piece of advice can easily save your Brand or retail business hundreds and very often thousands of dollars. It can also take away the pressure or stress associated with some challenging decisions you have to make every week. Finally, it can boost your sales by 10/ 20 or even 100% when he shares a new idea and you implement this idea consistently over the next 6 to 12 months.
Do you agree with his quote when he says:
"Fashion success is no more about what you know, it's about what you don't know".
Clients see him as a critical and creative thinker. He is a problem solver and an operations improvement specialist.
His expertise comes from having worked with company like Alberta Ferretti, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Monnalisa, Moschino, Sergio Rossi, Smalto, Versace ... as well as many SMEs (Angel Eye, Collectif, Enugo, Forever Unique, IKKS, Jianhui London, Ken Okada, Mr Quintessential, Vendula London ...) and Young Designers most probably just like you and your business.
He represented the Magic Show (Informa - Coterie, Project, Sourcing) in Las Vegas and acted, before the pandemic, as retail and brand expert for the international Paris based Trade Show Who's Next.
