BARBARA SESSIM
Brazilian with a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design and Business Management, a Master's degree in Fashion Business, specialized in product development and fashion production management, and with many years of experience.
​
Even though I never chose to move to New York City, as this was my parents' decision after I finished fashion school in Brazil, I ended up falling in love with this city. I tried a little bit of everything and found my passion in fashion production management and product development.
After a lot of hard work and sleepless nights, I finally got the career I came here for. However, I realized that I wanted to do more than just build my career. That was when I decided to start my blog, sharing my years of knowledge in the fashion industry and shedding light on the immigrant lifestyle and the struggles we go through.
​
Now it is time to turn my blog into a new space. I want to do more than share my experience and knowledge; I also aim to provide services, guidance, and inspiration to those who want to learn more about building a successful fashion line, moving to the US, and building a career in NYC.
Even though the business side of the fashion industry has always fascinated me and holds a special place in my heart, the creative process of the fashion industry has opened many doors for me. Starting as a fashion designer paved the way for my career and eventually led me to production management.
​
Guiding new designers through all the steps of product development, assisting them in building their collections, and teaching them how the fashion business operates is my passion.
​
Whether you need help developing your clothing line or you're simply a fashion lover wanting to learn and understand more about how this industry works, I would love to hear more about your project and how I can assist you.

"Barbara , was excellent and very professional to work with. The project was delivered as promised and I was very happy with the conciseness of the report we needed. The price was reasonable too! An excellent partner!"

I have worked as a model for years, so the fashion industry is not new to me, but what I really love about this industry is the creative freedom. I have MANY ideas in my head, and I always knew that I want to have my own clothing brand. The fact that I am all over the place and didn't know what I should focus my brand on is what made me start working with Barbara. Thanks to the work she did with me, I now know exactly what is needed to start a clothing line, regardless of the styles or target market that I decide to pursue.
