4 Platforms Worth Knowing to Promote Your Clothing Line
There are multiple strategies companies use to enter a market, one of which that provides support, reach and the ability to showcase and nurture your brand is the use of independent designer platforms. Here are four worth knowing to promote your clothing line:

This platform helps designers to gain exposure in the fashion industry at no cost, promoting a designer’s creativity and individuality above all else. Each NJAL designer creates an individual virtual showroom, where they can showcase their entire archive of creations, connect with a global audience and retail their designs from anywhere in the world.

Lone Design Club
Another platform waving the flag for responsible fashion, LDC curates experiences across London and Milan with ample pop-up events to showcase your brand. Getting your collection and pieces into the hands of a customer is a vital step towards brand awareness and promoting the quality of your clothing. LDC’s pop-ups are a fantastic and accessible opportunity to do just this.
If you have incorporated a budget into your launch strategy to consider these options they are certainly worth exploring, especially if you are primarily e-commerce. Fashion is such a sensual experience, inviting your customers to feel the clothes, try them on and familiarise themselves with your brand. These platforms enable that possibility without the overheads of your own brick and mortar establishment.
