The fashion industry has a structural crisis: over-inventory. The traditional manufacturing model demands high upfront capital, long lead times, and massive storage costs—forcing independent brands to inherit immense risk before a single garment is ever sold.

But what if you only produced exactly what your customer ordered?

In this episode of Catching the Editor’s Eye, host Georgia Alexia Benjou sits down with Alex Tschopp, co-founder of Tailored Industry, a cutting-edge, make-on-demand factory operating right out of Brooklyn. While they built an enviable reputation as a pioneer I n advanced 3D knitwear, Alex and his team are doing something much bigger: they are proving that sustainable, domestic manufacturing can actually scale.

This conversation is for designers, retailers, and supply-chain insiders who value brand substance and operational agility over the old-school corporate playbook.
