Consultancy, London
Fashion Manufacturing Consultant in London, No Commitment
Straight answers on manufacturability, tech packs, fabric and production strategy, from someone who has spent over twenty years making the garments.
If you need a fashion manufacturing consultant in London who can tell you whether your design can actually be made, and what it will take, a Clarity Call is where to start. Clarity Calls are one-to-one sessions with Nailya Belkacemi, founder of CMT Studio.
You don't need to be ready to manufacture, and you don't need to manufacture with us.

Stuck Between Design and Production? Most Brands Get Stuck Here Once
The gap between a finished design and a garment a factory can make is where most new brands lose time and money. The sketch is ready. The fabric is chosen, or nearly. Then the questions start. Will this construction hold up in this fabric? Is my tech pack clear enough? Who should make this, and how many?
Nobody hands you a manual for this stage, and most brands learn it by getting it wrong once. A Clarity Call is a way of learning it without the expensive part.
What a Clarity Call Covers
A Clarity Call isn't a sales conversation. It's a working session built around your project. Depending on where you are, we might cover:
- Manufacturability: whether your design can be made as drawn, and what would need to change
- Tech pack readiness: what's missing, and what a factory is likely to misread
- Fabric sourcing: whether your chosen fabric suits the construction and the market level
- Production planning: realistic dates, and what needs to happen to hold them
- Manufacturing strategy: quantities, routes and timelines that fit your budget
Every call is recorded on Zoom, and you'll receive the recording afterwards, so nothing gets lost in your notes.

Is Your Tech Pack Ready for a Factory?
A tech pack has one job: to remove every ambiguity. If you want a French seam and don't say so, a machinist somewhere will make that decision for you, and you'll only find out when the sample arrives.
We read tech packs the way a factory does, looking for the gaps that turn into wrong samples, extra rounds and delays. Bring yours to a Clarity Call and you'll leave knowing exactly what to fix. Our guide to your first meeting with a manufacturer shows what factories notice first.

Choose Your Production Route Before You Spend on It
CMT or fully factored? A first run of 10 pieces or 300? These decisions shape your cash flow for a year, and they're far easier to get right before any money has moved.
Our guide to CMT vs fully factored production explains the two main routes, and our production method self-assessment helps you score your own situation. A Clarity Call takes it further, applying it to your designs, your budget and your timeline.

Not sure which you need? Take our fit quiz first. It will point you to the right conversation, including our complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call if that's all you need.
When We're Not the Right Consultant, We'll Tell You Who Is
Our expertise is garment construction and manufacturing, particularly evening wear, bridal, corsetry and structured garments. If your question falls outside what we're comfortable covering, we'll connect you with the right consultant for your specific situation. You'll get an honest referral, not a stretched answer.

No Manufacturing Commitment Needed
A Clarity Call stands on its own. You can book one, get your answers and go on to manufacture elsewhere. That's fine.
If it turns out we are the right studio for your project, the conversation carries straight into sampling or small batch production, and nothing you've learned is wasted.
