Hello All,

I started a clothing line for women last year and have done a lot since. Here is a little bio just to give you an idea:
****, the new clothing line from designer, ***, is destined to be a favorite with bold and sexy women worldwide. Her designs employ the finest fabrics (georgette and charmeuse silks), and the cuts and silhouettes are purposely designed to accentuate the sensual curves of the female body. You won’t encounter any dreary color palettes either – *** infuses her clothes with vivid shots of color that pop and excite. Let’s put it this way; a woman wearing a *** clothing will always make a stunning entrance, no matter what kind of gathering she’s attending.

website is currently under construction, and i will have my my business plan ready within the month. I need serious investors to move forward with production, advertising, etc..please please contact me and i will be able to provide a lot more.

Thanks

very nice, glad to hear you are doing well because the market is very saturated right now. Most of the clients I work with are in the fashion industry, its a tough but fun one.

Best of luck!

You know what, i thought the same 2 but, i did a lot of research and despite reports of an economic slowdown and a "Hesitation Holiday," the U.S. apparel market posted growth this past year. According to NPD Group, Inc., leading provider of consumer and retail information, 2007 dollar volume sales were $195.6 billion, up 3% over the prior year 2006.

Yes, the consumers are buying it but the amount of new startup brands are un heard of, thats why I stopped doing clothes and started my studio doing them for others.

I would have to agree that the market for startups is extremely saturated. One niche in the clothing market that always seems to be open is that of the upper-tier boutique brands. Many designers are able to market their clothing at the typical prices, but an increasing number charge exorbitant prices for the same designs... And make a name for themselves doing it!

If your clothing is as nice as you make it out to be, add a couple of 0's to the end of it, and start a high-end boutique! You may have less sales, but every sale will go that much further!

You are certainly right. I actually started my line because it was very frustrating for me to go to the mall and find my dream dress say (Alexander McQuie) at Neiman Marcus and find the exact same dress/design 2 stores down at Wet Seal after spending $2-3000. Neiman Marcus? Wet Seat? there is no way you can compare this two. I basically STOPPED going to the mall....LOL!!!

Well, my line is DISTINCTIVE. An up-scale boutique that only carries its own line. to give you a better picture, think f it as (DASH; Kim Kardashian's fashion boutique) but, only to carry its own unique line... Wish me luck, i need all of it. LOL! thx!
