Design is a challenging profession and there are plenty of designers who start their careers only to quickly give up. Most designers join a large, corporate brand to keep designing without the stress of being an entrepreneur or the small paychecks that smaller companies offer. Trends in retail channels and consumer groups however, are beginning to make it easier for designers to make their own concepts a reality.
The biggest obstacles to starting a clothing and apparel brand are manufacturing and operations. Even if designers can find production channels, all of the risks of marketing and selling the product are on them if they are independent.
