EP6: Creating a Swimwear brand, Overseas Manufacturing & Runaway Photographers with Candy Cooke

This week I am joined with Candy Cooke, the founder of Elicit Swim. Candy founded Elicit in 2019 after feeling the desire to create quality swimwear which made women feel unstoppable on their travels. We talk about how Candy manages her brand whilst working 9-5 as a social media manager, the production process including working with manufacturers abroad, how she raised money for her brand, and the many lessons she has learned so far on her fashion business journey. -- To learn more about Candy and Elicit: Elicit Website  Elicit's Instagram  Candy's Instagram  Candy's Recommendations for your development as a designer: Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter by Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) CTRL, ALT, DLT Podcast hosted by Emma Gannon HSBC Business Talks Podcast hosted by HSBC Commercial Banking  -- Follow The Entry Platform for regular doses of fashion, mindset, and business gems on Instagram!  For day to day posts of my life and BTS of my brand, follow me on Instagram - @iamrebeccatembo
