We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Dylan Posada. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Dylan below.

Dylan, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start big picture – what are some of biggest trends you are seeing in your industry?

One of the biggest trends of seen make its way back around is the “flared/ stacked” pants. I like the style of them and have made profit off of the trend coming back around. I truly do not have any concerns, but do see great opportunities in this trend simply because I can take anyone’s favorite pair of pants and flare them within an hour. My personal story is quite brief but the first time I flared my pants a customer called me 30 minutes after I posted mine and asked me to do it (flare) to his 5 pairs which was a great boost to my confidence that I was taking the right steps for my craft.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m Dylan 25 years old from Pontiac Michigan. I am a artist/clothing designer I started sewing because I was always curious about how pants were made so I jumped on YouTube and started from there.
Some of my most consistent questions is can I alter pants. Which is super easy for the most part.
I am proud at how far I’ve came in just 8 months just by staying consistent.
I want everyone to know your potential is unlimited Aslong as you try and keep trying.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Giving up is never an option

Have you ever had to pivot?

I took a major pay cut from my 9-5 job to pursue my craft and that came with a lot of stress but I was able to remind myself that if anyone else can do it so can I.
