“It was good working with Richard at the O’Neill Product department. In a short time, he was able to lead the design team toward the ‘Next Level’. ‘Throughout his strong trend and concept presentations, he could convince the product and leadership teams about a new product strategy and collections. Richard’s designs are elevated, efficient, creative and commercial. Yet he never loses focus on the end user/consumer”.

Learn How To Start A Highly Profitable Clothing Line Or Fashion Brand

Yes, you are right! To start your own clothing line or fashion brand is super exciting and fun! However, I hope you can imagine it is more complex and financially risky than you think.

There are many things to consider in order to create a successful fashion or clothing business. But unfortunately, as a starter, you don’t possess this essential knowledge. Furthermore, you are most likely doomed to make mistakes because you also lack a commercial understanding of the industry and don’t know enough about industrial clothing production. These mistakes can become so costly that they often lead to a company’s downfall, leaving the founder with high debts. Sadly, aspiring fashion and clothing entrepreneurs often underestimate these risks and start a new business based on guesswork and assumptions.

I use my know-how of the global fashion and clothing industry of almost three decades to help ambitious entrepreneurs to establish highly profitable clothing businesses.
