      <image:title>Home - Operator-Led Advisory</image:title>
      <image:caption>Apparel Advisors is an operator-led consulting firm that partners with premium lifestyle brands to scale operations and execute turnarounds. Led by Jon Levine, who spent 25+ years in operational leadership roles at brands scaling from $5M to $100M+ in revenue, we specialize in merchandising, margin optimization, channel strategy, production planning, and AI-enabled operational infrastructure. We don't deliver strategy decks. We embed as fractional CEO/COO partners to implement the fixes. Typical engagements improve gross margins by 3-8 percentage points, reduce inventory carrying costs by 15-25%, and establish production planning systems that cut late deliveries by 40% or more. We work with founder-led brands, private equity-backed turnarounds, and established companies navigating multi-channel complexity. The difference: We've run these operations ourselves. You're not hiring consultants who studied fashion retail. You're hiring an operator who has scaled brands through the exact challenges you're facing now.</image:caption>
