Here are the first three steps C.I. recommends to successfully start your clothing line.
Ask yourself: Administrative or Creative
Are you more proficient in the design and collection planning aspect or would you rather fulfil orders and balance the books? Where does your strength lay?
Often, as an independent start up, you would wear all the hats but should advisedly delegate as your fashion business grows, for the sake of efficiency.
Clearly Invincible offers both administrative and creative fashion services such as Collection Planning and Intensive Consultations to help you set up and automate the organisational structure of your business.

Fashion Business vs Fashion Brand
Is your business purely intended for money-making? Or are you trying to build something of value that resonates with a community and in turn, is profitable?
To be aware of this is to understand how you make your clothing line have a genuine connection with your clients, perhaps even beyond apparel.
Consistency
You don’t realise the amount of physical and mental effort it requires to start a clothing line till you’re three prototypes in and the fabric you bulk-bought doesn’t quite drape how you expected. We all know running a business takes consistent effort and consistency takes dedication, and dedication requires showing up no matter how difficult a situation seems.
You don’t have to figure it out all at once or even all on your own.
