Ever wonder if your apparel ideas are actually good enough to stand out—and make you money?

 

You’re not alone. I’ve seen so many entrepreneurs pour time and money into full collections without ever validating whether people actually want what they’re creating.

They dive in excited…

Spend months (and thousands)…

And then—

Crickets. 

No one buys.

This is exactly what I don’t want to happen to you.

Even if you're already developing your apparel line, I want to make sure you have the strategy, support, and tools to set your brand up for real, lasting success.

Client Spotlight: Caroline & Lizzy

 

When they came to Apparel Launch to start their activewear line, they were excited—but also overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.

Instead of letting fear hold them back, they took it one step at a time with our guidance.

Today, their brand Daughter Lessons is sold in Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Nuuly, and more.

They’re consistently restocking bestsellers. Retailers are reaching out to them. And it all started with a clear direction and the right support.

This is what we do at Apparel Launch.

 

We simplify the apparel development process.

We break it down step-by-step.

We give you everything you need—resources, design, sourcing, sampling, and strategy—to build a brand that actually sells.

If you're feeling stuck or unsure, you're not alone. And you're not behind.
You're just one small step away from clarity.

A Few World Class Brands We've Worked With

Founder & Head Designer

Hi! I'm Kayla Loken

My story began with a sewing machine and a swollen face (thank you, wisdom teeth surgery). While healing, my mom taught me how to sew—and it sparked a lifelong passion.

Years later, I became a Parsons School of Design alum, Innovative Apparel Award winner, and a CFDA-approved business owner. I worked with major brands in NYC before launching Apparel Launch to help entrepreneurs like you bring their ideas to life.

We’ve supported hundreds of emerging brands—and I’d love to help you next.

"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!" 

Caroline & Lizzy, Daughter Lessons NYC

"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.”
