Fashion company due diligence?

Hi guys, I'm interning at a small PE firm and we're looking to work with a fashion company. Does anyone have a checklist or any notes of what to look for in a due diligence process for companies in this industry? How to properly evaluate their health, growth potential, licensing potential, etc. Any help would be much appreciated (and +SBd), thank you!

“Helpful session. We went through my LinkedIn profile line by line, and the feedback was honest and practical, not generic advice you could find online. A few things I thought were fine actually needed rewording, and once they pointed them out it made total sense. I also came away with some specific points to add that I hadn’t considered, especially around how I present my M&A and project finance experience. I’ve already started making changes and the profile feels a lot more polished. Thanks a lot!”

“I appreciated John sharing a list of headhunters after the session, which was useful. During the call, though, I had to ask very specific, in-depth questions to get any input, and the conversation felt one-directional. More proactive guidance and practical insights would make his sessions much more valuable for mentees.”

It's not the company. It's the credibility. My credibility. I can't just sit on the bench and let other people play the game. Not my game. Not with their rules. - Henry Kravis, Barbarians at the Gate
