If you've been searching for ways to launch a clothing line, in this video I’ll share a step by step guide on how to start a clothing brand from scratch.

Starting a fashion line is an amazing way to balance your passion for art and commerce. But a clothing line needs more than just beautiful clothes to create a lasting online business. You’ll need to master branding, marketing, manufacturing, and retailing, among other things.

With the advent of print-on-demand services, starting a clothing line may seem easy but sustaining a clothing brand is much harder. In this video we’ll talk about the training you’ll need, the resources you'll want for writing a business plan, and how to develop your brand identity. We’ll also cover tips on how to come up with creative concepts, on getting in touch with manufacturers, on timing your collections with seasons, and on creating a wholesale strategy.

Watch until the end where I interview Mackenzie Yeates, Co-founder of KOTN. She drops pearls of wisdom on how to bring your first collection to market. She also gives some insight on the best digital marketing methods you should start with, the top mistakes fashion entrepreneurs make, and how to avoid them.

I actually started mine during the pandemic I wanted merch to match my music in association but I felt I wasn’t too known of a rapper yet to where someone would wear a Thai Zeo shirt so I made something based off the phrase I say in all my raps “infinity” so far people love it, thankfully I had brand and marketing classes in high school so it really taught me how to push my brand but so far so good I wish I started sooner 💯♾💯🤘🏼

Hi, great video ..very informative and found lots of value. Got a question out of your experience. Faire wholesale, do they allow any one out of Canada to sign up? Cuz I have tired to sign up and the message i get is " Thank you, your request has been confirmed. We'll notify you when we're in your country" As a result, am not able to create an account and start buying.

Best quality tshirt supplier in india. Any suggestion ?

[Driftking]

A very informative an helpful video. But I am confused about one thing, how should I work out my business idea's finances in the business plan if I have not spoken to manufacturers yet? I am trying to follow the video in a step by step way, but would it be better for me to have design sketches of my product first then get quotes and prototypes from manufacturers then based on which one I think is best factor that into my costings or before anything likke that happens I should do rough estimates in the business plan?
