 Just how helpful is our course?

Here is what a Fashion Academy Department Head stated:

“Arrington and Harper have created a real-world manual to starting a fashion business for any apparel designer. The Official Step-by-Step Guide to Starting a Clothing Line is a comprehensive handbook for fashion entrepreneurs, and having the inside track from two successful designers who started from the ground floor is absolutely inspiring!”

--Julie P. Fashion Design Chair, International Academy of Design and Technology -- MI.

Designers from some very successful fashion labels have turned to our course because they wanted to branch out from their strictly design jobs to start their own lines.

While we can’t mention names, we can say that a few fashion designers from Bill Blass, Prada, and Calvin Klein, just to name a few, have purchased our Course because they are planning on launching their own independent labels.

Starting A Fashion Business Is Now Within Close Reach

Those with fashion design dreams now have more opportunities to realize their dreams into reality.

New York, New York (PRWEB) --Those sitting in a room with a sketchpad and color pencils drawing clothing designs obviously have a talent. But they may lack the understanding of what it takes to open their own business. They may have even bought the fabric and made their own outfit to wear for a special occasion, or just around the house, and were complimented and told they should start selling their designs.

Seeing his or her own designs featured in a magazine or on the rack at a local store would be the dream for any fashion designer, but most never pursue this dream due to the lack of knowledge of the fashion industry. They may also be afraid of the business from witnessing the global market and high-end fashion shows. Being able to take the idea from paper to the runway can be a daunting thought. For those with a dream and a strong desire the tools they need to make this a reality at a new company can be found at www.startingaclothingline.com.

The sketchpad and pencils can stay in the drawer as the clothing design software can make it possible to put ideas on virtual paper and design a clothing line on the computer screen. Different fabric effects and colors, design lines and an infinite number of styles can be created using the Digital Fashion Pro software available through www.startingaclothingline.com or www.DigitalFashionPro.com. After viewing the video instructions on how to use the software, a person can be designing clothing like a pro, complete with front and back views and flats.

However, designing clothing is only part of the process and this is where many would-be designers end their dream. A step-by-step guide to start a fashion design business is also offered at the website, which teaches how to research the types of clothing you want to design, as well as where to have the clothing made in a global market. Courses also include the everyday reality of owning and operating a fashion design business, including hints on dealing with the daily ups and downs.

Finally, a course on how to market a new clothing line and how to pitch to clothing buyers, completes the necessary knowledge on starting a clothing line business. These courses give anyone with the right drive and desire the tools needed to design their own line of clothing. They also learn how to arrange to have the clothing made in the quantities necessary to meet retail demand and how to get the line on the market.
