beginner clothing brand
Hey everyone, I’m currently in the beginning stages of starting my own clothing brand and I’d really love some advice from people who’ve already been through the process. Right now I’m brainstorming concepts, designs, marketing ideas, and trying to figure out what actually makes a brand stand out instead of feeling repetitive.
I’m leaning toward an anime-inspired/streetwear aesthetic (currently inspired by Soul Eater), but I still want it to feel original and wearable. What are some things you wish you knew before starting your brand? Biggest mistakes to avoid? Best ways to build a community and get people genuinely interested?
Also — what kind of pieces/designs do you personally like seeing from newer brands? Oversized tees, hoodies, cut & sew, accessories, etc?
Any advice, opinions, or honesty is appreciated 🙏
