Fashion Careers class Recap!

Trisha Stickland | Garment Manufacturing Specialist

Trisha has worked in the Apparel Industry for more than 20 years and is the founder of TS Apparel Sourcing.

“The goal (of TS Apparel Sourcing) is pure and simple… to fill the sourcing needs of Orange County and Los Angeles established and aspiring designers.”

Trisha began her career working in the industry as a pattern maker at the surf apparel giants Billabong & Hurley. Through her career she has also worked at some of the world’s premier apparel brands including Quiksilver, Paul Frank and NILS Skiwear. In time, with passion and experience on her side, Trisha harnessed the opportunity to make a big difference in the up-and-coming side of the business. She witnessed the need in the marketplace for a knowledgeable, well connected source for local businesses and in turn, started her own sourcing company.

TS Apparel Sourcing offer clients so much!

She gave an example of a girl who did just that and ended up talking to a man who loved her idea so much he wanted to be an investor, wrote her a check and she’s starting to move forward.

It was really great to learn from Trisha, now I want to hear more!
