Research, sketch and brainstorm for your next season/drop. It’s even better if you have a theme. Then, the whole collection will be more cohesive. That will help your customers to connect with your creativity and emotions from each piece.
Build your tech packs, sewing patterns, and size charts for each style. Then, send them to your clothing manufacturer ASAP. They will tell you what else they need from you and you will need time to prepare for that. Some of the manufacturers have an in-house design team that can help you.
Source fabrics for each piece. It’s important to have ideas about fabric weight (GSM), fabric content, fabric construction, fabric price per yard/ meter, etc. when you are sourcing fabric. Also knowing about the care instructions of the fabric you pick is important so that you can explain to your customers the durability and functionality of the clothes. If your brand is an advocate for sustainability (which you should be), you need to pay more attention to sourcing fabric with the proper certification, for instance, GOTS.
After the sample is confirmed, submit the official PO with the manufacturer and start the production. Production time varies for many different reasons. You will need to communicate with your manufacturer about the timeline.

Once production is done you will need to decide on the shipping methods, for example, ocean freight or FedEx express.
Once you receive your products and organize the inventory, schedule for the product photoshoot. Now you are ready to introduce everyone to your newest drop through e-commerce and social media channels. Ready to launch the Spring/ Summer collection.
