    ALTUZARRA CEO On Why 90% of Fashion Brands Fail

    Want to start or grow your fashion brand? Apply for a FREE one-on-one coaching call with us: https://calendly.com/estebanjulian/advanced-brand-coaching-call Welcome back to the Beyond Fashion Business Podcast. Today’s guest is Shira Sue Carmi. Shira is someone a lot of people don’t know by name, but they should because shira has helped shape some of the most influential brands of the last two decades. Brands like Mansur Gavriel, Altuzarra, Mara Hoffman, Serena Williams, and more. She’s been behind the scenes as an advisor, president, and CEO of a lot of these brands. She is an expert at scaling creative-led businesses, navigating high-growth, and growing brands that actually work as businesses. In this episode, we break down what actually drives success in fashion: Why is demand more important than infrastructure? Why most brands scale before they’re ready. And how profitability buys you something more powerful than growth — patience. If you’re building a brand and want a clearer, more grounded way forward — this one’s for you. Hope this conversation is valuable.

We talk about how Our Legacy grew from a quiet Swedish label to a globally recognized brand — eventually catching the attention of LVMH. We go deep on what it actually takes to build longevity in fashion, how production and relationships shape everything behind the scenes, and why staying small for longer might be the smartest move a brand can make.

Apply for a FREE one-on-one coaching call with us: https://calendly.com/estebanjulian/advanced-brand-coaching-call If you don’t know ATP Atelier, ATP Atelier is a very successful Swedish fashion brand that was built with actual strategy. They started with a single product. No outside capital. No hype. Just a clear idea, a defined customer, and the discipline to stay focused. Maj-La Pizzelli also spent years behind some of Sweden’s biggest fashion brands like Filippa K and TOTEME before launching ATP Atelier, and what she shares in this conversation is a clear blue for how to build something that actually lasts. We talked about how to define product DNA, how to grow without losing your identity, what real sustainability looks like in practice—not marketing—and why focus is the most underused tool in this industry.
