Start up Clothing line

Hi, 

I would like to start my own clothing brand. I do not have a background in the fashion industry. Does anyone know of any good resources for helping a start up with Fashion designs and materials? 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi, why not just use Google? Something like 'start up a clothing brand in UK'. I did and lots of links came up, including this one - 

    https://www.printful.com/design-side-hustle?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqZalq96y8QIVDtnVCh1wmgVCEAAYASAAEgKdO_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    But there are lots more. Don't forget that if you start selling your own clothing brand, you will probably have to register with HMRC as self-employed. Lots of things to consider but if you start off with google, you're bound to find all the answers you're looking for. 

    YouTube as well has lots of demonstrations and advisory videos about this kind of thing.

    Plus you could do worse than watch some of the 'Great British Sewing Bee' episodes that are currently on BBC iPlayer. I find them fascinating and I've no ambition to sew anything!
