About Albuquerque Fashion Incubator
Albuquerque Fashion Incubator (ABQFI) operates from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where it has hosted apparel manufacturing boot camps since 2015. Organized as a 501(c)3 non-profit, ABQFI began with a single “Coats for Kids” event and now runs two annual cycles of pre-production and production camps at the Albuquerque Sewing Factory on Old Coors Drive. The incubator’s core activity is a four-day, hands-on boot camp that takes participants through the full sewn-product manufacturing process: pattern creation, production pattern auditing, work-instruction development, fabric spreading, cutting, sewing, and finishing. Each cycle includes a pre-production camp roughly three months before the production camp; attendees who register for pre-production are automatically enrolled in the production phase. Camps are capped at 25 participants, and the inaugural event produced 125 fully lined winter coats in four days using industrial equipment at the factory. The training targets entrepreneurs, aspiring designers, and individuals with no prior factory experience—75 percent of the first cohort had never used an industrial machine. The program also offers custom boot camps for larger groups by arrangement. Fasanella launched the incubator to address the loss of domestic production knowledge, arguing that re-shoring requires people who know how to run factories. The model combines free instruction (participants cover only material costs) with charitable output, positioning ABQFI as a unique workforce-development and community-service hybrid.
