The educational package consists of access to "Members Only" areas on FashionCapital.co.uk including:

Tools of the Trade – This section is of vital importance to anyone in fashion who wants to make their business succeed. Based on over 25 years of experience these tools of the trade cover important documentation that will eliminate, as far as possible, the opportunity of mistakes occurring in your business. Fashion documentation such as a Docket for factories, Invoice with legal terms and conditions, Confidentiality Agreements drawn up by solicitors are all on this part of the site and provides each fashion designer and production business with a host of paperwork from idea generation to actual delivery of garments into a client or store. Each document can be downloaded and you can insert your own logo and company name and address.

Trend Prediction – The FashionCapital Trend Prediction Service summaries the fashion trends by the use of mood boards for each forthcoming season. Working up to two years in advance the trends review generic mood and signature of the key fashion statement, fabric trends, colour trends, silhouette trends and line drawings to provide you with a clear brief for the fashion statement ahead.

I SPY – Looks, Art and Interior SPY's features are dedicated articles just for members of FashionCapital. The SPY articles looks daily at cultural and business trends to inspire you with your fashion work. It's a unique look at art, paintings, independent retailers, crafts and interiors that portray a refreshing insight to new fashion trends and forecasts which offers a complete contrast to the homogeneity of the high street.

Specialist Advisors – FashionCapital and Fashion Enter Ltd have a wide cross section of industry specialist fashion advisors that can help you and your business succeed. There are 20+ specialists on this site that are committed to FashionCapitals' aims and objectives of helping businesses within fashion grow and thrive. Each specialist is there to offer help and advice to full paid members and initial advice is free. Depending on the query and the depth of the advice required additional fees may be charged by the consultant but at a discounted rate.  

Members Forum – At FashionCapital we understand the importance of speed of response to any problems you may be experiencing or advice that you need. It's not always possible to visit London and hold one to one meetings with our specialist advisors. The Members Only Forum has been created to provide you with a priority service to answer any postings submitted on this Forum. All Forums are monitored and controlled by the team at FashionCapital and new Members Only Forums postings are automatically alerted to the specialists.

Knowledge Bank – The business of fashion is equally as important as fashion itself. For a designer label to succeed there are a host of business matters that have to be covered from sourcing, to finance to the latest rules and regulations governing SME businesses. The Knowledge Bank is here to provide you with a quick and easy way of accessing all you informational requirements. There are three bands to the Knowledge Bank, the central band covers the disciplines of the industry; the main areas of Design, Retail, Technology, Manufacturing and Auxiliary Services (pattern making, grading and much more besides); the middle band is for the Operations that occur within business. There are 12 subsections in the Operations area including Finance, Sourcing, Import and Export and Pre retail. The final band reviews Issues that affect the Fashion Industry such as Legislation, Trading Regimes, Ethical Trading and Corporate Social Responsibility. The subsections are updated regularly and provide an instant business control check for anyone in fashion today.

Learning Profile – The "Learning Profile" section on FashionCapital is an opportunity to promote your school and each pupil if they wish to do so to launch their name directly into industry. We tend to keep each profile at around 200 words about the individual or educational institute including a picture of you and some additional images of any related work. Students can then download this profile and use it in future portfolios to promote themselves further to clients. This information can be sent directly to me for immediate upload. We can also promote your educational institute within our main Learning Section category to increase exposure and advertise your courses to generate interest amongst your relevant target market.

Selling in the Boutiques – We strongly believe in the integration of industry into education and we can provide students with a real industry experience via selling products made in lessons to the public in our two retail boutiques based in Croydon and Barking. We can feature any promotional material created for student's brands in store to encourage sales and create the opportunity for students to see the value of such material reflecting in their sales.

Our educational package featuring all of the above is available for pupils attending educational institutes at £500 and provided for a maximum of 50 students:
