I want to make a fashion line.....PLEASE HELP!-best answer is needed?

I want to have my own fashion line like hottopic,target,etc.I would draw the clothes and someone would make them.I'm sure the owner of hottopic and such stores doesn't do all the work like making the clothes.My question is how do i start this? and is this true?

Start by making some samples.... then you do cold calls to different stores, or arrange meetings with the company asking if they want to carry your product. (Don't go into individual chains of Hot Topic stores.. the managers have no authority to decide what they want to carry or not.... you have to go to the top level... corporate head office.)

This is the first step, just make some quality fashions and then find someone who is willing to buy them. From there you will need to find a way to mass-produce them. In the textile industry that almost certainly means having your clothing made in China.

Alternatively you can both produce your own fashion line and start up your own store. It will cost you a lot more money and be much more risky this way, though.

I don't think drawing the clothing's concept art would be enough... take some basic fashion courses at a community college or something so that you can also put the clothing together yourself. Plus then you are just cutting one more person out of the mix, more money for you.

If all you do is draw new designs but not make them, you will pretty much be stuck working for someone else who owns a fashion line for much worse pay.
