About Dear Progress
Bringing together expertise in sales, business, and showroom operations, our team supports designers not only in reaching buyers but also in developing the right strategy for long-term success.
Area of Expertise
With a background spanning distribution, global fashion markets, and cultural industries, our expertise lies in putting designers on the fashion radar — securing visibility, recognition, and the right positioning. Beyond exposure, we focus on creating a strong wholesale revenue channel, connecting brands with leading retailers and ensuring collections are commercially viable while staying true to their identity.
We achieve this through a hands-on, strategic approach: analyzing collections, gathering buyer feedback, and refining product direction so brands align with market demand. Each season in our Paris showroom, we connect designers with top buyers and decision-makers, while our ongoing global research ensures they expand into the right territories with confidence.
Where We Are
Dear Progress Showroom is based in Paris, with our seasonal showroom located in the heart of Le Marais near the Centre Pompidou. Operating four times a year, our Paris showroom serves as the hub where we connect designers with the world’s leading retailers.
While Paris is our home base, our work is global. We actively develop brands across Europe, North America, APAC, and the Middle East, providing the reach and connections needed to establish an international presence.
Team
Our team of eight works between Madrid, Paris, and Milan, bringing together expertise in sales, brand partnerships, design development, and retail operations. To extend our reach, we collaborate with a trusted network of specialists — from local agents to sales partners — who provide on-the-ground support when deeper localization is required. This structure allows us to operate globally and remain flexible, supporting brands without limitation — whether it’s a fashion show, a pop-up in a new territory, or the launch of a collection with a new retailer. Everything we do ultimately reflects on sales: our goal is to help brands execute seamlessly, without stress, while relying on our team and gaining full access to our services.
Retailers
We hold connections with retailers across the world, but every partnership and opportunity is carefully evaluated. Our role is not only to open doors, but to choose the right ones — ensuring that each brand we represent is placed where it will thrive and resonate most.
Approach
Our role is to listen, observe, and guide. The knowledge we hold is shared with care, often in the most private and thoughtful settings. We believe growth is not about speed, but about timing — placing each step with precision, so that a brand’s presence expands naturally, with integrity preserved and value sustained.
