Fernando’s Answer

With regards to classes you might want to look into marketing, advertisement and business management. If you're looking to make your own style of cloths then you might want to consider classes in art design. Starting your own business isn't easy, especially in these hard times. This is a long process that requires a lot of preparation and strong grasp on the area of clothing line you're looking to get into.

Ivana’s Answer

Hi! Agree with what Fernando said! I would also look into where you want to source your products and "shop around" to find the best suppliers and partners for what you're looking to do.
Having a grasp of business and marketing fundamentals will be extremely helpful with getting your brand identity together, determining how you want to reach potential customers, and of course to ensure you are making back the money you invest!

Ivana recommends the following next steps:

Put together a realistic budget of how much you can spend to get initial products developed, samples, a website, marketing materials, etc.
