Episode notes
Daniel Robbins sits down with Georgie Crossley to unpack what it really takes to build a fashion brand in an oversaturated world. Georgie shares how GeeGee Collection started in 2020 with zero budget, how Instagram became her storefront, and how her mission evolved from “beautiful fabric” to “confidence and identity.” They also discuss why she prefers in store retail for premium products, how she expanded into the US, and why she believes the future belongs to timeless pieces that feel personal, not disposable trends. Key Discussion Points Georgie explains that COVID gave her the time to build, using friends as models, posting consistently, and running Instagram promotions that got her noticed by independent department stores. She shares her brand’s USP: hand designed or hand woven fabrics that create individuality, moving away from overconsumption and bringing back traditional craftsmanship. Georgie says she prefers physical retail because customers can see the quality, feel the product, and experience the story behind the pieces in a more personal way than online.
