Some ideas of themes/ genre would be:

After you have selected your theme, do not start designing your clothing line, instead first get a Professional Designed Logo based on your theme.

It is important to have a professional designer to design your clothing logo based on your targeted audience, because designing a logo is a complete science and it plays a key role as your identity, Logo Shows your customers many things subliminally, that is why a professional help in this matter is necessary.

3. Deciding On Investment Budget For Clothing Brand And Its Allocation


It is very important that you have definite figure for your startup budget, it is not necessary that it should be high or low , but you need to know how much you are going to invest in starting your business , you may call it startup capital. You can also get an investor in this step to do the investment for you, but that would be an angel investor, someone you know have money and also have faith in your abilities, or you can also get an investor if you have a successful past track record of business.

We also guide our clothing brand customers into getting investment, but this happens after one successful run of the product, we have helped many customers show their product on Shark Tank and also have successfully launched their business on Kickstarter.

We have seen clothing brands becoming successful with just startup budget of 1700 USD and have seen Clothing startup fails with a budget of more than 100,000 USD.

So basically it’s not the investment size that matters for the success of your clothing brand but rather the allocation and smart use of budget that matters most.
