Hook

Three things I'd never do again when starting a fashion brand.

Founder POV. You, talking straight to camera, no b-roll polish.

Shot list

  1. 01Handheld, seated at the studio table, natural window light.
  2. 02Cut to hands folding the linen shirt — texture close-up.
  3. 03Return to camera for the final line, slight lean in.

Talking points

  1. 01One. I'd never launch with fifteen styles. Three would have been enough.
  2. 02Two. I'd never let a factory talk me out of my fabric.
  3. 03Three. I'd never wait until the collection was perfect to show you it existed.

Caption

Year three lessons, said out loud. The linen shirt is still the one I'd start with again.

Call to action

Comment 'three' and I'll send the full breakdown.

Edit with MILA

If you have 5 minutes

Story

Photograph the linen shirt on the studio rail, add a poll: 'Ivory or ink?'

If you have more time

Carousel

Five frames on how a piece goes from sketch to sample, ending on the price of doing it properly.
