I have written a lengthy reply on the other discussion forum.

hi,

I'm hoping to launch on a small scale a women's clothing brand aimed at late teen / early 20's market where the USP is:
1. highly fashionable designer brand quality
2. using natural materials
3.modest cuts so e.g. skirts that are full lenght with loose fit, dresses that are loose fit with high neck lines etc

One of the problems I'm facing currently is translating this USP into concrete designs that really set alight the idea behind the brand. Are there any designers/creative people out there who would like to get involved and assit with the creative side?

Secondly, sourcing low cost manufacturers who are able to produce to the very highest quality standards, in short runs, has been a pain. Again any advise on suppliers you have first hand experience off for producing ladies skirts, dressees, coats etc would be appreciated.
