Stateless, a fashion consulting firm based in New York City, has expanded its fashion consulting services to help startups, nonprofits, and global enterprises navigate the design, production and branding challenges in the apparel industry.
The firm offers end-to-end services that span product development, manufacturing guidance and brand strategy. Stateless works with various apparel categories, including womenswear, menswear, children’s wear, luxury, athleisure and uniforms.
The team behind Stateless includes design veterans and business strategists with experience across the fashion and consulting sectors. The company aims to fill what it describes as a gap in the fashion consulting space: the need for creative leadership paired with operational support.
“Stateless was born from the realization that there was a growing gap in the fashion space—one that demanded both creative innovation and operational rigor,” said Souad Acha, co-founder and chief project officer. “After over 20 years in the industry, I’ve seen how emerging brands and even established companies struggle to navigate design, production and branding as interconnected processes. Stateless exists to bridge those gaps with clarity and experience.”
The firm is not affiliated with any manufacturer and maintains independence from production facilities, allowing it to offer clients impartial guidance. Stateless supports brands at any growth stage through short-term engagements or ongoing partnerships, functioning as an extension of internal teams without the need for permanent hires.
Its services include apparel design, technical development, sourcing, production management, brand identity, e-commerce site design, packaging development and marketing strategy. Clients work directly with Stateless consultants, where they gain access to a network of more than 30 vetted factories and suppliers worldwide.
Stefanie Tacata, co-founder and CEO, said the company’s goal is to provide an efficient and experienced fashion consulting business model that can scale alongside its clients.
“Before Stateless, I spent years in business development and consulting, most recently with an educational consulting firm in New York,” Tacata said. “What I’ve found is that success in any industry—fashion included—requires strategic clarity, adaptability and trusted guidance. Stateless merges that business mindset with creative execution. We’re here to help fashion brands launch, scale and evolve with purpose.”
The expansion of Stateless’ fashion consulting services comes as more companies explore alternatives to traditional manufacturing partnerships and internal teams. By staying independent and project-based, Stateless aims to position itself among emerging fashion consulting companies offering flexible solutions in a fast-changing industry.
According to its founders, Stateless is not a production house or factory but a consulting firm designed to help brands manage the complexities of product and brand development. The company emphasizes transparency and sustainability in its approach while giving clients control over vendor selection and creative direction.
Stateless, seen as a game-changer in the scene, aims to revolutionize the industry by addressing the needs of smaller brands and global enterprises alike. With an eye toward both creativity and commercial viability, the firm hopes to become a long-term partner for brands working to bring new ideas to market.
The company is currently working with clients in the U.S. and at a global level, providing customized support across fashion business consulting, development, and marketing needs.
