Trendy-Workshop.com, co-founded by Tristan de Montebello, is a French fashion portal that allows its users to create their own clothes, buy them afterwords and making money with them by sharing it with others on the web. Open since Dec. 8, 2008, users can choose every little fashion detail they want on their piece of clothes on-line and have it made for them by a stylist. Their creations will then be delivered to them within three weeks. Depending on how many people buy their creation, a commission is being paid and one can even reach the status of Junior Creator. Clothes designed at Trendy-Workshop are being produced in China with prices starting at 89 for a cashmere sweater. Different from customization platforms like Spreadshirt, Trendy-Workshop allows you to design the whole product and not only the printing. Soon they will also offer accessories and interiors.
Founder Tristan de Montebello started out as a computer ingenieur in love with the web. He points out that he wants to make a real difference in fashion with Trendy-Workshop.com: We would like to be a major trendsetter in fashion industry and break fashion in a good way. He believes it is crucial to think big and start small. His advice for other entrepreneurs is simple yet powerful: Get good people, be fast and very reactive.
