starting a clothing line.
well, i really like fashion and would love to make my own styles, and love to see people actually buying it and wearing it. im 15/f. but if i was actually going to be successful with a clothing line, the smart thing to do is get started early, right? well what im asking, is what does it take to start a clothing line. like, what is everything i need to do? can i use like, lets say a hollister shirt, like solid white or something and put my design on it and then if something actually did happen, make a shirt similar to it with my design so it ouldnt be stealing someone elses clothing? or what?
help me, and tell me everything there is to know. and give me some tips. thanks. =]

me and my friend are starting a jewelry and clothing line toooo! :]
i think you should start off by making a myspace for your clothing line to help promote it. make sure you have the name for it already haha.
then maybe once you get your line out there, start coming up with ideas of how you want your clothing to look like. what stores would it be similiar too? think of that, and get some of your ideas from there.
make sure you have a sewing machine too haha. and make sure you're pretty good with it.
try googling "how to start a clothing line" too.
that might help a little.
hope i helped? :]

Using another store for inspiration isn't a good ideal for starting your own original line. I would take from your environment, your life, your likes and dislikes, the colors and textures around you, and design. If you want to go anywhere, you should start by making a sketch book. If you ever apply for a fashion related job where you will be involved in the design of clothing, they will want to see that. Put your finished sketches on nice paper in a porfolio. Making samples of your designs is nessacary as well. Being able to make your designs come to life is crucial for a designer. Having a resume is important as well, and racking up things to put on your resume is needed. Take classes, apply for internships, design clothes for the school play or fashion show, anything! To start your own line, you'll need to have internships under your belt. Working for a brand can bring you many job oppurtunities and will take you far.
Basing off of a hollister design will not make you look serious in the industry.
