Launching a brand and producing a fashion line is challenging. Getting the final product delivered to your retailers on time is even more difficult. Added to this, in today’s tough and competitive economic climate, is a growing trend among fashion brands to switch their sourcing and production to “less expensive” locations, resulting in a situation where cost often trumps quality.
Whether you are small retail boutique or large operation, we’ll help you meet your goals and overcome the challenges of staying on budget and within cost parameters, sourcing superior materials, non-adherence to quality standards, long-range logistics and supply delays.
We provide merchandising and development of your product line – from the selection of fabrics and trim, to delivery of a final product to your clients. While we work closely with you to study your requirements and specifications, we strive to meet budgets and deadlines. The Malishevski Group is able to globally source from the best manufacturers of men’s and ladies mid to high-end apparel and accessories. We’ll find the most suitable production house and expedite the whole process, from the first samples to your final product.
Our expertise in the development, sourcing, and management of custom clothing programs for various markets is unparalleled. It simply comes down to our years of professional training and real life hands-on experience as tailors and technical designers.
We specialize in creating “turn-key” custom clothing programs and provide direct liaison between the factories, fabric mills, shops and our clients and, if necessary, the end consumer. Furthermore, our consultants are accomplished professionals who will analyze the fit and construction of a garment based on the client’s requirements.
Custom clothing is a fast growing segment, but is an infinitely challenging business. Considering the drastic shortage of professional tailors and technical personnel who have experience in high quality men’s and ladies’ garment construction, many businesses find themselves in unchartered territory.
As the fashion industry evolves, so we are beginning to see an increasing shift to fashion design software that offers unlimited designs easier and faster than ever. Unfortunately, good fashion design style and form doesn’t necessarily follow. It still requires a fashion designer that has the vision, skills and creative style to create an end product that will appeal to the target market. If you don’t have the basic tailoring skills, expertise and knowledge, no software program will enable you to make the leap from ordinary to great.
Whether you hire Malishevski Group to be your technical consultant, or choose us to assist you with establishing a custom clothing program, we will ensure your company stands out from the competition.

We are all aware of the adage that “employees are a company’s greatest asset”. While this may be true, it does come with a caveat, particularly when it comes to managing the training challenges of the retail industry. It’s no secret that erratic work schedules, restricted employee availability and employee motivation don’t always help your training attempts. Coupled with this, the retail industry does experience employee churn. So is training worth it? Absolutely!

Making one’s business more efficient, cost effective and competitive are the goals of any business owner.
