How to start your own fashion line

By Olga Davydova

Posted 16 September, 2007 in Tools & Resources for Fashionistas, Discoveries

I’ve found an excellent website for all fashionistas aspiring to become the next Zac Posen: Dobizo is an amazing blog with plenty of information about starting your own fashion line.

The author is a young man named Fredrickus Williford who knows the industry very well, he studied fashion marketing and at 22 he already has his own successful t-shirt line Scout Union Apparel.

The information is presented in well structured articles, along with industry news and FAQ guides on all aspects of indie fashion business, from finding manufacturers to getting celebrities to wear the clothes you designed. My favorite post is Top 100 mistakes clothing lines make. All in all, it’s like Problogger for young designers. Definitely worth reading.
