Who We Are

Apparel Launch a full-service fashion design and development studio founded in the heart of New York City. We help entrepreneurs design and develop high quality apparel, and then we teach them how to sell it. 

 

Why We're Different

Most of our clients, who first discover us, are at the very beginning stages of building their apparel business.

They often feel overwhelmed, not sure exactly where to start, and many are nervous that their ideas might not be good enough to stand out in the competitive fashion industry.  

Our clients want to work with someone who can lead the way, help them think through details they weren't aware of, and ensure that they do everything right the first time around. 

Not only do we teach our clients how to develop high quality apparel, but we also teach them how to sell their apparel and build a profitable business.  

 

This is our secret sauce that sets us apart from the rest. 

 

Developing high quality apparel is an important first step. But what's even more important is understanding how to sell your apparel, so you can make more of an impact, and build profitable and sustainable business.

Founder & Head Designer

Hi! I'm Kayla Loken

My sweet Mom taught me how to sew, and I would never see the world the same again.

Fast forward many years later I would be shocked to learn that I'm now a Parsons School Design Alumni, Innovative Apparel Award Winning Designer, and CFDA approved business owner.

I've worked for some of the biggest brand names in the heart of New York City. And now as the Founder of Apparel Launch, I feel so grateful to have the opportunity of working with hundreds of entrepreneurs, like you, and to help them develop the apparel product and business of their dreams.

It's hard the beat the feeling of seeing your client's designs out in the world on strangers. I want to help as many people as possible, experience what it's like to see their apparel out in the world, and build sought after businesses.

Accomplishing your apparel business dreams is easier than you think. Let me show you how!

"Our experience working with Apparel Launch has been absolutely incredible from start to finish."

 

"We were able to launch a full apparel collection in just four months by being in their apparel program & working with their team.


They took all of our inspiration, our mood board, and the kind of the feel and the colors that we wanted and turned it into incredible physical products. We worked with them from the very beginning on.


They helped us create original design concepts and develop high quality tech packs. They also introduced us to suppliers and the factories that we're currently working with, who are absolutely amazing.

We were really intimidated to launch into apparel just because it's such a big industry and there's, so many, concepts and words and things that you have to know and get right, and they were really great at holding our hands, walking us through the through the entire process, and really being an incredible support system. We're excited to to keep working with them on all future collections and into the next year!"

"Thank you so much Kayla & the team for another amazing job well done! :)

 The team at Apparel Launch is extremely knowledgable about their trade and have been invaluable in providing input with regards to design. For example, suggesting different stitching types to create a more luxury feel and suggesting seam placements for maximum comfort.  I found this knowledge and the team’s willingness to share their knowledge freely so valuable as a start-up brand, and their generosity in sharing her knowledge is much appreciated.”
