AIBI Fashion Brand Incubator

A 12-Week Cohort-Based Program for Emerging Fashion Brands

The AIBI Fashion Brand Incubator is a 12-week, cohort-based virtual program designed to take you from idea to launch-ready fashion brand. This immersive experience is built for emerging designers and creatives who are ready to stop guessing and start building.

Classes meet Monday evenings from 6:30–7:30 PM (CT) and are taught live by fashion industry professionals working across design, production, sourcing, branding, and business development. Each week intentionally builds on the last, guiding you through a proven process so you finish the program prepared—not overwhelmed.

This is not a one-off class. It’s a guided, structured journey from concept to market.

What You’ll Experience

  • Live weekly instruction from fashion and apparel industry experts

  • A cohort-based learning model that fosters accountability, collaboration, and community

  • A clear, step-by-step curriculum that breaks down what it actually takes to start a fashion brand

You’ll move through the program alongside a small group of peers, gaining support, feedback, and momentum along the way.

What You’ll Graduate With

By the end of the 12 weeks, you’ll walk away with:

  • A clear brand foundation and positioning

  • A ready-to-wear production plan

  • A defined hero product developed and prepared for launch

  • A strong understanding of sourcing, costing, and production pathways

  • The confidence and tools to move from concept to market

Our goal is simple: you leave with something real—not just ideas, but a product and a path forward.

Who This Program Is For

  • Aspiring fashion designers and brand founders

  • Creatives ready to turn an idea into a viable product

  • Entrepreneurs seeking structure, guidance, and industry insight

No guesswork. No gatekeeping. Just the roadmap—and the support—to help you launch.
