FREE CONSULTATION

Do you have a dream? Let's turn it into a fashion brand.

Together. Seriously.

No aggressive sales tactics. Just clarity about your project.

Do you recognise yourself in any of these situations?

🤔 You have an idea but don't know where to start

You've searched for information online, but the more you read, the more confused you feel. Suppliers, fabrics, pattern makers, production, marketing... it all seems so complicated.

😓 You've already taken some steps, but the results aren't coming.

You've drawn sketches, talked to workshops, maybe even produced a few items. But costs have skyrocketed, the quality isn't what you wanted, and you don't know how to sell them.

😰 You are paralysed by fear

Fear of investing money and time in something that might not work out. Fear of not being "good enough" — not creative enough, not experienced enough, not stylish enough.

I understand. Because I hear these stories every day.

There is another way.

In addition 14 years old I have helped more than 200 people like you, to transform their passion for fashion into a real brand.

Not established designers with million-pound budgets. Ordinary people with a dream and the determination to make it come true.

I created Be A Designer Precisely for this reason: to be the partner I would have liked to have had when I started out. A team of professionals — designers, pattern makers, marketing experts — who support you every step of the way, from the initial idea to the first customer.

We don't sell you courses. We don't just leave you with a PDF. We work WITH you, side by side.

A few words about me

I am Corrado Manenti. I'm not a fashion designer — I'm the one who helps fashion designers become entrepreneurs.

I have written two books on the subject, I have created the Fashion Business Designer Canvasâ„¢, and I founded Be A Designer for one simple reason: because I saw too many talented people give up due to a lack of guidance.

Creating a fashion brand on your own in Italy, starting from scratch, is practically impossible. But with the right team by your side, it becomes not only possible — it becomes an exciting adventure.

This consultation is the first step. It costs you nothing, but it can change everything.

Frequently asked questions

Is the consultation really free? What's the catch? â–¼
No catch. The consultation benefits both of us: you can determine whether we are the right partner for you, and we can determine whether your project is suitable for our method. If we ultimately decide to work together, excellent. If not, you will still have received useful advice free of charge.
I don't have a definite idea yet. Can I still make a booking? â–¼
Absolutely. Many of the brands we have launched were born out of exploratory discussions. Sometimes the right idea emerges precisely from talking to those with experience.
How much does it cost to work with Be A Designer? â–¼
It depends on the project. There are options for different budgets, starting from a few thousand pounds for essential capsule collections up to more significant investments for established brands. During the consultation, we will give you a realistic estimate based on your objectives.
Do I need to have experience in the fashion industry? â–¼
No. Many of our most satisfied customers came from completely different sectors. What matters is passion, determination and a desire to learn. We take care of the rest.
How long does it take to launch a brand? â–¼
On average, it takes 4–6 months. It depends on the complexity of the collection and the speed of decision-making. But don't worry: we will guide you step by step without any unnecessary rush.
Is the consultation conducted online or in person? â–¼
Both options! You can visit us at our office at Gallarate (VA), or we can meet via video call. We have successfully worked with clients from all over Italy and abroad.
