Fashion Stake will let customers decide what items go from sample to retail. Designers can post photos of their sample designs on the Fashion Stake website. Users then support the lines they like by purchasing a $50 “stake” in any design. If the design earns enough stakes to fund its production, the product is sold exclusively on Fashion Stake and a portion of the proceeds are returned to stakeholders in the form of “clothing credits” that can be redeemed for merchandise sold on the site.
