Everybody thinks they’ve got the killer designs to set the world on fire, but not everybody is going to succeed (and definitely not right away). It’s a grind, and one that you need to learn to love at that. The industry is going to take you seriously if that’s how you want to be perceived, but there are multiple ways of going about it. Branding – You have to know how to properly brand your company, it’s a must
Advertising – Advertising is incredibly important as well, because you’ve got to build a buzz
Marketing – Market so that your clothes will actually sell, instead of sitting around in online limbo
Customer Service – Care for your customers, repeat buyers are what keep companies alive
Quality – Don’t provide a low quality product. Just don’t do it!

Hi Rick!
I think there are many things you can do to begin:
Taking any classes that are important to your craft-- sewing, etc. But also looking at YouTube videos for screen printing, airbrushing, etc -- anything you'd like to learn more about!
I'd follow some top fashion and street wear blogs to get inspiration-you can get the posts sent to your email, and you can also follow them on social media.
I'd also check out any fashion schools you are interested in and see what courses they provide and what may be necessary for getting accepted to a fashion school in the future. Good luck!
