How can I start my own clothing line?

I have an idea for a clothing line but I'm not so great with the needle. How can I go about getting my ideas either on paper or get my ideas made?


- The best way is to have formal fashion design eduction.

else

- Buy fashion magazines regularly or watch fashion TV regularly

- If you are good at sketching just buy a drawing book and some pencils.Ask for 2H, H, HB, B pencils. You will need all of them for shading purposes.

- Start sketching what you have seen on TV or magazines. I would say make an exact copy

- Once you are confident about your sketching try variations of what you have seen. That dear would be your first design :)

- Keep your eyes open always. You may find inspiration even in your loo :)

- With time you will be able to sketch well. Once you are confident ask your local tailor to stitch it for you. Well you better buy all the necessary stuff for him/her; becos its your design and he is just stitching them together.

- Once your first prototype is ready market it to a small boutique. You got be perseverant here.

- Once they like it well thats the start of your clothline :)

I hope this helps.. if not google for "i want to be a fashion designer"

It's not easy to start a clothing line from scratch, but if you are passionate about the clothing and design business, you can certainly do it. If this is your first time starting a business, there are many important facts that you should know because starting a clothing line isn't just about the clothes. There are all kinds of legal, financial and logistical hurdles to overcome.

step1

Choose a name for your clothing line, trademark it and buy the Web domain name for it. Domain names on the internet are being sold quickly, so make sure you buy one with the name of your clothing line right away. Also, you should do a trademark search for the name you have chosen to make sure there are no other business or companies already using that name. If the name is available, register it with the United States Patent office. Furthermore, register your business as a D.B.A. or LLC with your city clerk, and then get a bank account under your new business's name. These are all important steps to take before you begin to actually design and produce clothes.

Step2

Decide what type of clothing you want to make. Also, decide whether you want to mass produce or start by making a few key items. You can start by making casual apparel or sportswear such as T-shirts, sweatpants, jeans and other related products. Start out small until you begin to establish your name. Moreover, find a contractor who can help you launch your clothing line. Producing locally is your best bet when starting a clothing line.

Step3

Obtain funding. You may already have the necessary funds or you may have to take out a business loan. To get a loan from a bank you may have to put up collateral because, traditionally, banks do not consider clothing lines a safe investment.

Step4

Prepare your designs and pick out fabrics and materials that you will need. Give all of your completed and professional sketches to a manufacturer, seamstress, tailor or screen printer. Also, match each fabric to a particular design to make sure that the manufacturer knows what the final product should look like.
