The AAF Lab
Workshops and courses teaching the practical knowledge that turns market access into commercial success.
The AAF Lab addresses the operational realities of selling at scale, offering courses on the practical skills needed to enter new markets. We’ll cover topics like pricing across different markets, local and international logistics, essential legal protections, and responsible sourcing and more. Our focus in on challenges every designer will face at some point, and the areas where mistakes get expensive quickly.
Sessions are led by practitioners who've done this work themselves, and participants received frameworks and tools that can be used right away.

Retail agreements, especially for pop-ups and concept stores, are full of terms that can quietly work against you if you don't know what to look for. This webinar breaks down the legal grey areas designers and brand founders encounter most, from consignment clauses and exclusivity terms to liability and IP provisions, so you can enter commercial spaces with clarity and protect your interests from the outset.
Intellectual property is one of the most consequential and least understood areas of the fashion business. This workshop gives designers and brand founders at every career stage a working understanding of IP protection — covering copyright, trademarks, and design rights — so you can make informed decisions about your creative work and commercial future.
