Geek Bound Fashion

If you know anything about geeky fashion, our guest this week needs no introduction. I’m so excited to chat with Catherine Elhoffer from Elhoffer Design about her nerdy inspired fashion collections and get a peek behind the scenes of her business.

Elhoffer Design specializes in sweaters and cut-and-sew products like maxi skirts and dresses. All of their products are inspired by geek and pop culture, and all of the clothing is designed by Catherine and made in Los Angeles. It’s so hard to find clothing that’s actually made in America, and it’s so cool that Elhoffer Design has found a way to make that happen.

I’m so thankful that Catherine takes us behind the scenes of her geeky fashion business. She talks us through how her team functions, how she manages to do it all as a new mom, and the tools they use to keep it all together. She also explains how her particular business works, from taking pre-orders to planning out a year’s worth of designs and conventions. I always learn a lot by talking to other business owners, and this conversation taught me so much about managing a team and getting everything done!
