the Studio idea
The TDS studio Limited was founded in 2024 by Tea De Santis, after a career spent within the Fashion Industry across different markets and creative executive roles within the business.
It was established as an agile Creative Consultancy firm, with the idea of bringing in-depth consultancy from design and art direction to branding, marketing, and sales to the main “Makers” of the Industry: mills and manufacturers across the globe.
Providing very mature expertise and know-how across the reality of fashion retail in the USA, Europe, and Asia, The TDS studio is a consultancy “on call” that tailors solutions based on your needs.
We plan to move the Business of Fashion forward by pushing the boundaries of innovation, promoting unique on-trend aesthetics, and advocating for sustainable ethical visions.
We’re here to rewrite the rules of fashion’s engine room. Our vision is a fearless future where mills and manufacturers drive the narrative—leading with design, demanding ethics, and shaping culture from the ground up.
We operate across the world with footprints in Hong Kong, Italy and South Africa.
Our mission
Where Creativity meets Industry.
We empower Makers to bring Fashion forward with tailored Global Innovation, True to Market Design and an Ethical Vision.
Our vision
" We envision a fashion industry where creativity leads, sustainability is standard, and manufacturers are celebrated as the true innovators. At The TDS Studio, our goal is to become the global benchmark for strategic design consultancy—where every collaboration drives cultural relevance, aesthetic distinction, and responsible growth across the fashion supply chain.
