Are there any fashion industry protégés on this site?

Hello Micah,

While my specialty is retail real estate, in that capacity I've worked for several fashion industry brands in their various retail store divisions. Depending on what you're looking to do, I may be able to give you some pointers on the industry.

I can be reached through ACP, or at jeremy@theserwercompany.com.

Good luck!

Hi Micah, thanks for the question! Unfortunately, I don't believe we have a network of professionals within the fashion world here on AdvisorNet.

However, it could be worth connecting with advisors who are familiar with small business, manufacturing, and service industries. You can search for mentors in specific fields through the link below:

Apart from AdvisorNet, you might find better success in finding connections in the fashion industry through LinkedIn. Here are some resources to help you get started in your networking journey:
