The most important part of starting a clothing line is knowing how to manufacture. Manufacture includes design development, product sourcing/sampling/ hiring patternmaker/sewing contractors/ going to market, etc

Many small companies don't start out with investors. Read Kathleen Fassanella's Sewn Product Manufacturing book if one is serious about starting a clothing line. It is the only book out there that actually SHOWS you and tells you the REALITY of making a clothing line.
