WHY GODONG

Connecting people
is only the beginning.

We bring the right professionals together and manage a connected workflow from kickoff to review and handoff.

Fashion outsourcing takes more than finding a talented designer. The brand's direction, timeline, scope and deliverable standards must be shared with the whole team. GODONG is built around that collaboration.

Define stages, deliverables and ownership

03Expert matching

Designer invitation, acceptance and brand confirmation

BEYOND OUTSOURCING

Real-world fashion expertise,
informed by data.

GODONG operator FAPERLINK also researches fashion data analytics and AI. Through market rankings, image labeling and enterprise data, we explore ways to support future design decisions.

ABOUT GODONG / FAPERLINK

Connecting fashion expertise.

A network of experts. A new way to collaborate.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

THE
HYPERLINK.

Beyond outsourcing design,
we extend your brand's team.

We connect fashion brands, designers, planners, pattern makers, sampling specialists and production partners on a project basis. Choose the expertise you need—from a complete season to a single task—while our operations team helps coordinate timelines, collaboration and deliverables.

FAPERLINK describes this approach as DI (Design Integration), supported by an online project collaboration system.

THREE DIFFERENCES

How is this different
from traditional staffing?

Three operating principles highlighted in FAPERLINK's outsourcing introduction.

01 / EXPERTISE

Assemble the right expertise

We assemble specialists for womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, casualwear, sportswear, denim and knitwear according to the project—and collaborate with existing brand teams.

02 / FLEXIBILITY

Flexible scope and duration

Define the scope around the goal: a full season, selected categories, design-only work or sampling. There is no single fixed outsourcing package.

03 / WORKFLOW

Transparent project progress

A connected system for dates, owners, meetings, task templates and deliverable reviews helps teams share progress and decision history.

PROJECT TEAM / ROLES

Between brands and designers,
there is an operations team.

Roles are assigned for each project, keeping timelines and deliverable standards consistent even after new members join.

DESIGNER NETWORK

More than a résumé,
your real design work matters.

A GODONG designer profile is more than a name and career history. Main responsibilities, product categories, target ages, design styles, markets and tools help us match designers with suitable projects.

EXPERTISEApparel design, creative direction, outsourcing and production-promotion roles
CATEGORYWomenswear, menswear, unisex, childrenswear, sports, knitwear, denim and more

PORTFOLIO MATTERS

A strong portfolio
explains your contribution.

Show multiple outputs through files or links so brands can assess your expertise for a relevant project.

Designer portfolios are intended for project matching and brand review rather than an unrestricted public gallery.

WORKING ON GODONG

Focus on your craft
while sharing dates and feedback.

Once confirmed for a project, designers can find assigned tasks in “My Work,” follow requirements, templates and deadlines, and submit outputs. Feedback and version history remain linked to each task.

01
Review task requirements

Check category, styles, output template and deadline

02
Submit and revise

Submit v1 → Receive change request → Resubmit v2 → Final review

03
Expanded responsibilities

An experienced designer may also serve as a project's PM.

DESIGNER QUESTIONS

No. Review the requested scope and schedule before deciding whether to accept.

It is designed for restricted use in project matching and brand reviews, not as a public gallery.

Yes. PM and controller are project roles, not separate member types. They are assigned according to experience and the team structure.

That depends on the project timeline, workload, confidentiality and contract terms.

Your expertise. The next collection.

FOR BRANDS & PARTNERS

Meet the right team for your brand.

The expertise you need, when you need it.

BUILD YOUR OWN OUTSOURCING

First, let's define
what you need to outsource.

Every brand has different staff, planning capabilities and development timelines. Rather than one fixed package, we combine the right level of planning, collaboration structure and design approach.

FAPERLINK's modular outsourcing framework is reflected in GODONG's project briefing workflow.

STEP 01Planning service level
Basic · Professional · Master planning
STEP 02Collaboration model
Quick design · Co-design · Full outsourcing
STEP 03Design approach
Reference/sample adaptation or original proposal
STEP 04Execution scope
Choose planning, design, pattern/sample or production handoff
A MODEL FOR EVERY TEAM

Three models designed
Collaboration model

The right model depends on how your internal team and GODONG specialists share responsibilities.

01 / QUICK DESIGN

Quick design

For brands with clear creative direction that need rapid design support. An operations controller coordinates with the necessary designers.

02 / CO-DESIGN

Co-design

The brand's MD, director or PM shares responsibilities with outside designers, combining internal direction with external expertise.

03 / FULL OUTSOURCING

Full outsourcing

For brands without a dedicated design team or expanding a new line. The project team and timeline are designed around a PM, controller and specialist designers.

FROM BRIEF TO APPROVAL

From submitting a brief
to confirming the team

Brands, operations staff and designers exchange information in a clear sequence.

01

Submit brief

Upload company and brand information, goals, scope, schedule, RFP and company profile documents.

02

Operations review

Agree on project stages, templates, roles, deliverables, dates and contractual terms.

03

Team recommendation & approval

Operations recommends designers. After they accept and the brand confirms, the team is finalized.

04

Launch & delivery

Assign PM and controller roles, then run stage-by-stage tasks, meetings, reviews and revisions.

THE PROJECT BRIEF

A clear RFP is
the foundation of accurate matching.

In the brief, clarify not just styles and quantities but target season, markets, categories, planning readiness and sample requirements.

Start a project request ↗

Project brief / Recommended materials

01. Brand

Brand introduction, target customers, price positioning and channels

02. Scope

Season, category, style count and planning/design/sample scope

03. Conditions

Preferred dates, design direction, contacts and review process

04. Attachments

Attach multiple RFPs, company profiles, design references and sample images as files or links

TRANSPARENT EXECUTION

Know who reviews
what, and when.

Deliverables do not end when files are sent. Teams use task templates, submit results and continue through review, revision requests, resubmission and approval.

TECHNOLOGY & AI

Fashion × Data × AI

New possibilities for fashion data and technology.

DATA BEFORE AI

Before AI features,
connect the data.

Fashion businesses have more than market images and rankings: design, sample, costing, manufacturing and quality data also matter. Linking them by shared style, product and order references makes meaningful comparisons and analysis possible.

Applied Data Foundry (ADF): conceptual data workflow

TWO AREAS OF INNOVATION

Using market data
and enterprise data for different needs.

These are separate initiatives, not one combined commercial service. They share an emphasis on understanding data context and applying insights to real work.

01 / FASHIONTRENDSCOPE

FashionTrendScope

FashionTrendScope is a fashion data project using market rankings, product images and AI-derived visual labels to compare categories, time periods and markets, and help identify promising design reference sources.

Market rankings→Product image database→Attribute labels→Search and compare
Data sources

Category rankings, products and images from fashion platforms in Korea and abroad

Analysis dimensions

Category, color, fit, silhouette, details, fabric and cross-market comparison

Technology scope

Validated proof-of-concept functions are distinguished from proposed future extensions

02 / APPLIED DATA FOUNDRY

ADF / Enterprise data platform

ADF proposes connecting ERP, PLM, MES, documents, images and internal records so teams can analyze practical questions about cost, lead times, quality and design.

Internal and external data→Data Lake→Applied Data→Applied AI for teams
Foundations

Define shared identifiers, codes, units and relationships

Quality and governance

Sources, history, access controls and validation rules

Implementation

Choose real business questions, then implement and validate a limited scope first

GODONG AND TECHNOLOGY

From today's collaboration
to tomorrow's intelligent support.

GODONG currently focuses on practical collaboration: expert matching, project schedules, task templates, meetings and deliverable reviews. In the future, we are exploring ways to connect work records and fashion data to support better decisions.

AI recommendations, automated analysis and image generation remain concepts or research areas and are not presented as current commercial GODONG functions.
