I'm 16, living in London with ambitions to have my own clothing line. Designing has always been my passion and this video has really made me feel I have potential. Thank you!
Something I noticed with all these designers is something I've been doing wrong, They all started out with a little bit of luck a plan and at least $10k and In Capital. I have the luck and the plan/plans. Great video! I needed this to help with my personal business puzzle.
i love u evan, u have made my morning. u are so sincerely positive, i think this feeling and your hopeful smile could last me all day, thanks guy...keep up the good work..
love the encouragement I want to start my line so bad I got this idea from grade 8 still haven act up on it im broke but realize all those ppl was broke too whit an idea . trying this in Jamaica it gonna be hard but 2016 that's it I got to do this thanks bro
Great motivating video. I am working on my brand now and been doing it all on my own from designing and running all the sales,promoting and sometimes it can get stressful not sure if I'm the right path. Thanks again
Wow Evan this videos was amazing, So inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to making it. It just shows how many obstacles a now successful business person faces person before their idea or dream finally takes off. (the power of persistance). You are a great teacher and whats more you seem passionate about helping people, which is an added bonus. :-) Thank you so much I subscribed to your channel and will be watching more videos. God bless, Norm in Atlanta!!!!

Really good we have got a very good type of people of success but now in this generation they are the people who inspire us and we need to have some unique plans. We have a garment industry in Hyderabad it is not going good we need to work a lot. Previous papers to be very much dedicated for what they are doing but now due to the heavy competition people are not able to be stable. People wants the easy way of business without any hard work that is the only reason why industries are failing. People before were doing so much hard work and they have one one and only option so they could be able to success.
Thanks. I have watched other newer brands and thought I can do that. I have many ideas but I'm stuck at the company name. I plan to sell only through direct sales, no stores.
Evan, I love what you provide on this site, because I have been an entrepreneur for 10years with my own business and am at one of this transition places and value your support as I continue to grow...
Thank you Evan... the business has changed significantly since these designers started. What have you to say of those whom are making it with the new marketing values. I've heard some buyers won't meet with you unless you have an impressive internet following.
+MsTen0102 Not required... but it helps. ANY kind of momentum helps. Great designs, social media following, press coverage, an advisory team, etc... the more you have of all of it, the better your chances are. #BTA99
Don't wait for a factory to turn up, start with whatever you have already got ie a spare bedroom, sewing machine etc. I have been in debt twice to mail order credit giving catalogues only to find out that their clothes are not as good as they could have been. There is more satisfaction in designing your own fashion line.
Thanks Evan! Your video is helpful. My approach to a fashion line is different than others. I know that you mention about lots of entrepreneurs in your video and follow what they have done and learn from their mistakes, but the things is they are successful today because they didn't have that much competition back in the day. You are trying to put both timeline together where's nowadays market is very competitive and people have lots of choices. Would you buy a shirt from a brand name company or someone who just opened the door yesterday? So, my point is instead of mentioning how Armani or Donald Trump become a succesful, you need to mention how we can put ourselves out their in this competitive market. Resources such as for export and import business, how we can approach a buyer, marketing, and all other strategic tools for this market. Also, if someone wants to open a fashion line, what would be best thing to do in terms of designs, brand name, and so on. I have been doing my research on this for past couple of years. So, i already know what those successful man have done to become a legend in the cltohing industry. Let me know please if you could help me some other way such as consultations over the phone. I would love to talk to you and share my ideas. Thanks!
+abdul mintoo I think you're making excuses. Stop telling yourself all the reasons why it's not going to work and start focusing on making it work. #BTA24
So have a super vision and eye for clothing and what the consumer wants, Someone who knows how to market, Tenacity and anywhere from 10k-50k to start your business!
Very encouraging message...I truly believe in "IF YOU ARE GOOD IN WHAT YOU DO, THAT YOU WILL SUCCED" I recently opened a online boutique "One Box Boutique". I also work with seniors, and I meat nurses, caregivers with many years experience and yet they provide poor service to seniors...what I believe is, to do what you are good at.....Love to listen to your you tube messages.
Thank you for the video! I have a great idea for a women's dress line but I have no idea on where to get a sample made. Every video I watch has some of the situations covered but no one has all of them step by step. I have it in my head and I know it would work, I have a business license, a business name (catchy one) and exactly the design of the dress but how do you get it going? Thank you for whatever help you can be! Yvonne~
Great video. I like designing maybe it's not enough to start a clothing line but I did like to know how to start small since I don't have a lot of money to buy lots of sick right now. How do l sell my brand to know if there is demand for it?
I have my logo and a couple of designs ready to go but I'm not sure how to take the right legal actions (trademark, vendors license, etc). What should I do?
Hi! even my name is Anthony I'm 23 years old after watching this video it has motivated me to get my clothing brand started. I have my brand name, logo, and designs just stuck on where to start. I know I have an eye for fashion and I'm really good at coming up with designs. But money is a problem although I'm saving :) should I look for investors...? Please help me out with some suggestions.
Anthony Martinez Start with a service like spreadshirt.com so you don't have upfront costs and show me the tees when they're up. Maybe I'll wear one on my channel :)
I know I may be too late to hear a response but, I'm a self-taught designer that just dropped out of college to pursue my business, however I live in a small town in North Carolina and it is pretty difficult to find prominent fashion jobs to intern for. I'm not sure where to start to even get my foot in the door to gain experience since I'm not going the college route. Help! Lol
Stop blaming your circumstances is the first step. Many people have done more with less than what you already have right now. Stop blaming North Carolina. Stop blaming college. If you want it Darrell then start working for it. There is no one perfect starting place. Just start. Go to events. Read up on everyone. Connect with influencers. Intern at smaller places. Volunteer at shows. Be a sponge. Add value. Get known. There are a million ways. But it only starts happening when you stop blaming circumstances and start start start doing the work. Much love Darrell. Go crush it. #BTA379
