Fashion is changing. You don't need to change everything.
DPP, traceability, repairability, textile EPR, environmental claims and other new requirements are starting to affect how fashion businesses work.
We help small fashion brands work out what actually matters to their business, what to do now, what can wait, and how to put the right changes into practice.
EU TEXTILE REGULATIONS MADE PRACTICAL FOR FASHION BRANDS
Fashion business strategy & implementation informed by EU textile regulations
The Change is Already Reaching Everyday Business Decisions
You may hear it as traceability, repair, DPP, supplier information or environmental claims rather than “EU regulation.” We look at what sits behind those changes and what they actually mean for a business your size.
READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR FASHION BUSINESS?
So... what can fashion brands actually say?
Join Brigita from Next Step of Fashion and Beth from Irigai for a free webinar as we bring the regulatory and communication sides together and turn ECGT into something you can actually use.
Environmental claims are getting new boundaries. Your communication still needs to sound like you.

NOT EVERY CHANGE DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION NOW
Next Step of Fashion helps small businesses make better strategic decisions in a market being reshaped by EU textile regulations
We start with where your business is going, then look at which developments could affect your products, suppliers, operations or business model. The goal is to decide what needs action, what can wait, and where spending time or money actually makes sense.
FROM WHAT'S CHANGING TO WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO
We connect EU textile regulation with the decisions your business already has to make.

Our Services
We’re not here to overwhelm you with jargon or audits that collect dust.
We’re here to work alongside you as a partner, making EU rules simple and practical.
One issue. One decision.
Next Step of Fashion was founded by Brigita, a fashion industry strategist and project manager working at the intersection of fashion business, operations, and EU textile regulations.
Her work focuses on helping small and medium-sized fashion brands understand how upcoming EU regulations affect their business, and how to translate complex industry realities into clear, practical decisions they can actually implement.
Meet Our Founder
Having worked closely with emerging fashion brands, I saw how confusing and inaccessible EU policy discussions often are for small companies. Next Step of Fashion was created to bridge that gap, translating regulatory language into clear operational steps that small teams can realistically implement.
What Our Clients Say
Brigita and her team worked with us for four months, helping us organise our supply chain tracking and communicate with suppliers more effectively. Her structured approach and support made a real difference in moving things forward

The Next Step of Fashion was born from a simple yet powerful observation: Europe's new circular economy and digital product passport regulations transform how fashion brands operate.
While many see these regulations as obstacles, we see them as opportunities. We help apparel brands navigate this transformation with confidence and strategic advantage.
We don't just help you comply with regulations - we help you thrive because of them. By turning policy complexity into clear business strategies, we enable fashion brands to lead the circular economy revolution.
