He's actually correct though. It seems like fear mongering but everything he's saying is facts, people think they're gonna make generational money with this shit when really it's probably the industry with the lowest profit margin (the only exceptions being haute couture brands such as Maison Margiela, LV, YSL, etc). There's a difference with liking clothes and being obsessed with fashion, most people think just because they like fitting up that means they can be a designer when the answer is a hard, NO. If you aren't ready to pour in hours upon hours upon hours of work making the actual clothes yourself then you aren't a designer.
@ you can make millions without being the designer but you'd have to actually love what you do and not do it for the money, people can differeciate real from fake mostly especially during business. And your brand has to be niched out and actually good.
Nobody may care or read this but I made about 100k in sales at 16 and I only started my brand in early June. I never had any experience running a brand before this is my first time. With the right product, and good marketing, you can really make your brand go big. I didn't pay a single dollar towards ads or influencer marketing. I did it all on my own in only a month. You guys can do it! Just trust in God because he is the only reason why I made so much in so little time. Edit: Been 5 months later and I am at 350k+ in sales, ran out of stock so next drop will be huge🙏 Tip; recommend finding a product that you like and make it better, also just make a product you love and make sure it’s 100% what you want, then learn how to make videos go viral and you got it ‼️
@@imvishu07 My bad I meant early june, so like last month. You just got to know your audience and be smart with posting trendy videos marketing your brand. You have to know what kind of videos people like watching and incoporate your brand into it.
Yeah like how can you make a million dollars and then have the audacity to tell people not to try and follow their dreams because they don't have certain skill sets... What a troll
im 31 and its so funny you mentioned every fashion trend since i was a kid from the oakleys, to the uggs, and gucci! I was honestly surprised you didnt bring up Ed Hardy, Polo, and True Religion!!! ive loved fashion since i was a kid but never had the money to ever buy any of it, so i would draw mock-ups all day in school from jeans, shirts, hats, etc. After highschool ended instead of following my dreams I got a normal 9-5 because to family and friends at the time telling me its not realistic. for the last 10+ years ive seen every mock-up i did as a kid come to life and when I do I think to myself "what if" and now me being 31 I still think about it... while i love this video and you being so straight forward, I admire that! Just i feel like deep down if I never even try ill never know
so happy i found this video, ive had a brand for around a month that just cracked ~2.2K in revenue with a thousand followers in the first month and felt inspired to keep going, but this advice was gold. i realized i should keep pushing because much like you, ive been a grailed seller for 8+ years, ive been on those old carti/rocky fashion waves, i used to love myself some supreme,thrasher,ricks etc. made me realize that someone successful sees it how i see it and not like these clothing brand “gurus” on youtube who just wrap their trackhawk and tell us to hop on one on one calls with them, this is real ass advice. thank you dawg.

I'd only recommend starting a clothing brand in 2024 if you have an intense passion for something and want to build a community around it. Ex: Gym, Surfing, Fishing, Riding Motorcycles, bird-watching Lol. The more niche it is the better. The world DOES NOT need another hellstar. Only caveat is you truly just have a good eye for design/aesthetics and make cool shit
First of all, great video, mate! Speaking from personal experience (you will relate i think), when starting a clothing brand, it's essential to truly fall in love with fashion and everything that comes with it. It's not about the money; it's about the creative process. Secondly, you need to be tenacious. You'll likely stumble along the way, multple times, and that's completely normal. Failure is a human experience, but the key is to learn from it and keep creating. In the end, while money is nice, the feeling of seeing someone else wearing your creation is priceless. Follow your passion, trust your vision, and you'll achieve success.
Clothing is a universal need. And people have way to many clothes and pay way too much for them. Its a very profitable niche, thats why you see these drops making so much money. Theres the best manufacturers producing these premium hoodies for $20. Many of the brands resell it for 80+. If your CAC is 15-20 you still have $40 profit per product. Now if you launch a collection of 5 products you have an AOV of 100 , it can definitely add up. Invest in branding and story behind your values, people will appreciate your brand.
there are people who make 2k a day digging gold. Any business vehicle is viable, of course there are better and worse but the most important is to stick to one brand.
Hey Dave I’m apart of the other 10 percent who’s watching the video. You’re right people mainly want to become clothing owners to post new hellcats or materialistic bullshit. Thank you for all the advice especially towards marketing pertaining to my business 🙏🏾
Great video bro. I’m a Shopify goon myself, 7 figure exit last year. Completely different space. Finally stepping into my passion project, here for the long run
I stopped my clothing brand to start an SMMA and now I’m back to clothing brand cuz it’s my dream. Rate the honesty cuz Yh bro I know it might be tough but may the Lord guide me 🙏
I truly appreciate this video. Starting a brand has been something I've wanted to do purely because I love fashion, and wanna make my own garments. I'm currently in the process of researching before anything, and broad videos like this help me (I take notes). I think despite the reality of how difficult it will be, I am still willing to put my all into it.
@@nisayx I'm saving up right now, my goal is 3k for my starting capital and I'm at 1k so far, I have my target audience and brand name and I'm teaching myself business at home, not going to college (at least yet)
even though money is a big factor in running a brand, its not the main reason i want to own one. its cuz i cannot in any way see myself working for another person. i gotta work for myself and do something i love, cuz the point of life isnt to slave away for someone else's big profit, its to survive, while doing what you LOVE to do and not caring about anyone elses pathway apart from you, your friends and your family.

Insane value in that video, thanks man🙏 I want to start a clothing brand, but I’m really into minimalism, that’s something I really love, but it’s harder to stand out, would you have any advices? I’m a UI/UX/graphic designer, I thought about doing some cool things, not just a logo on a t-shirt ofc, that’s not realistic for a new brand, but still keeping it minimalistic, also had ce this idea of sharing the meaning behind each piece (it’s story) making the perceived value higher Well that’s a lot haha, thanks for reading, can’t wait to have your opinion on that, have a nice day man 🫡

Okey so i just made my design and messaged many manufacturers. Should I just turn around and not do it? But thanks for the warning, I love that your being real
I agree on the part of clothing brands being a pain to run but I feel like if you are more motivated to create a brand and identity that people can follow and look up to it is so worth it. I am starting a gym brand so it might be a bit different for me but I love creating my own clothes and it is a true passion of mine. The grind is what I love.
By no money do you mean as a brand just starting out, they won’t be seeing any profits until year 3-5? I think for a lot of people simply getting to 5-8k per month profit so they can sustain themselves while they’re running the brand would be life changing. Do you believe that even generating those numbers are unrealistic within the first 1-2 years? Asking because I’m trying to decide whether or not I should completely commit to this! Love your content as always.
if your goal is to build a $10-100m/ company then you wont make $ for a while if your goal is to make 5-8k/ mo and just stay making tht much in profit per month then yes its possible in 1 year
@@DaveNashthanks man! I think getting to the stage where you’re covering your basic needs with the brand and then taking a more patient, longer term approach to build something meaningful is something most people would love. Not about it being a get rich quick scheme but can I work on a brand long enough for a year so I can sustain myself is a question I ask myself before I dive head deep. A cool video topic you could touch on is whether or not you should even start a clothing brand in the first place haha. Much love, keep doing your thing
I’m an one man army homie! Lolol Super exhausting tho , but definitely with passion and givin’ it all with my heart I pray success! Btw great video bro! ❤️🔥
Everything you just said is literally what I've really been starting to sense and been thinking really hard right now. Even if I my brand gets some kind of recognition, how am I supposed to deliver all those sales. hah - Though I'd push back on the part where you mentioned skill/service based businesses work better than products. Things are way worse there bc it's basically the same problem but in a version where it eats more of your time and mental crap. And it's way, way harder to find and manage people bc of all the technicalities and higher qualifications. In the architecture / 3d industry, 2-3 years means nothing - man, I'm willing to work 10 years to get out of it and move to a simpler craft. Anyway I think at the end of the day, its really abt proper intention and purpose. I really appreciate giving us a heads up in this vid.
Bro who is even talking about a 1mil per month clothing brand wtf😂😂. Im good with a 100k month that more than enough. I aint trying to be fuckin christian dior
So i’m good at designing and not just graphic designing i’m talking product designing as well. Should I start a clothing brand? Or what’s a better business to apply my skills to?
If one does something for money only and not for passion it is going to be the core problem behind the failure. One must do it for satisfaction and satisfaction in business brings excellence and ultimately excellence attracts wealth. Doing anything directly for money is going to fail for sure one must have GRIT and perseverance.
One other thing to consider is that the content matters a lot running a brand in the West is far more challenging compared to Eastern countries the only thing you must do proper research and have A BRAND STORY.
… after reading the comments… are you actually listening!? Or just hearing what you want to hear? He literally said “if you’re chasing the money, this isn’t the business for you.” Then he states why while giving you 4 other way to actually still do these things but are better money makers.
It will work if you keep bringing something new to the game. Im not saying you have to create something that has never been done before. Being Able to create bunch of clean design
What do you think about starting with something else like jewelry and then switching over to fashion? Once you have the means to order larger quantities and do quality marketing.
Bro thanks for helping me realize how stupid i was i did it for money before now i got my best friend whose dream is to have a brand and now we are starting soon 🎉🎉
I’m one of the 1% of people who watched the whole thing. i’ve bought vinyl cutters heat presses and all the things i need for a clothing brand i have it all set up but idk if i should continue after hearing this. i enjoy making my clothes and designs and want them to do well and i want someone else to like them too so i think i just need to keep going for the long run but idk this video has given me mixed feelings about whether it’s worth pursuing or not.
defiantly continue, I started a year ago with a heat press and cricut, built my brand from that, I’m now out 13.5k follows on ig and my brand is runnin smooth, there’s ups n downs but if you just stay consistent and dedicated you’ll run it up
@@tengoodquestions Nah bro, I gained 26k followers in a month with my brand. I spent no money towards ads, models, photos, ect. I did everything off my phone and with myself. You don't gotta do all that fancy stuff and pay high amounts of money.
You’d have to have a certain passion and fashion sense to start a clothing brand. A creative mind but also a business mind. Few people can do it all. It’s over saturated because these youngins think a t shirt design will make them rich. Only start a brand because it’s your passion because you WILL lose a lot of money in the beginning. And that’s where most people struggle.
I have a business model that no one in this space is doing, I also have that leverage you were talking about, my situation is a serious anomaly. I am also an artist and designer first which helps. I won't go into my model but I am looking to learn about the marketing aspect. do you do consultations?

By no money do you mean as a brand just starting out, they won’t be seeing any profits until year 3-5? I think for a lot of people simply getting to 5-8k per month profit so they can sustain themselves while they’re running the brand would be life changing. Do you believe that even generating those numbers are unrealistic within the first 1-2 years? Asking because I’m trying to decide whether or not I should completely commit to this! Love your content as always.
if your goal is to build a $10-100m/ company then you wont make $ for a while
if your goal is to make 5-8k/ mo and just stay making tht much in profit per month then yes its possible in 1 year
@@DaveNashthanks man! I think getting to the stage where you’re covering your basic needs with the brand and then taking a more patient, longer term approach to build something meaningful is something most people would love. Not about it being a get rich quick scheme but can I work on a brand long enough for a year so I can sustain myself is a question I ask myself before I dive head deep. A cool video topic you could touch on is whether or not you should even start a clothing brand in the first place haha. Much love, keep doing your thing
@@179421asdfgh check my video on my channel its titled the right way to build a clothing brand. i talk about that a bit
This is exactly what I’m aiming for , I can do other things on the side I just like the idea of designing my own clothes
I’m an one man army homie! Lolol Super exhausting tho , but definitely with passion and givin’ it all with my heart I pray success! Btw great video bro! ❤️🔥
thank you! wishing you good luck!

Everything you just said is literally what I've really been starting to sense and been thinking really hard right now. Even if I my brand gets some kind of recognition, how am I supposed to deliver all those sales. hah - Though I'd push back on the part where you mentioned skill/service based businesses work better than products. Things are way worse there bc it's basically the same problem but in a version where it eats more of your time and mental crap. And it's way, way harder to find and manage people bc of all the technicalities and higher qualifications. In the architecture / 3d industry, 2-3 years means nothing - man, I'm willing to work 10 years to get out of it and move to a simpler craft. Anyway I think at the end of the day, its really abt proper intention and purpose. I really appreciate giving us a heads up in this vid.
Bro who is even talking about a 1mil per month clothing brand wtf😂😂.
Im good with a 100k month that more than enough. I aint trying to be fuckin christian dior
@@S.A08zz 100k/mo is only 20k/mo profit

Ralph Lauren has existed and thrived for over 100 years....
awesome video bro. Great insight
Glad you enjoyed it!
What about producing your own clothes, with your own designs, together with your employees
So i’m good at designing and not just graphic designing i’m talking product designing as well. Should I start a clothing brand? Or what’s a better business to apply my skills to?
If one does something for money only and not for passion it is going to be the core problem behind the failure. One must do it for satisfaction and satisfaction in business brings excellence and ultimately excellence attracts wealth. Doing anything directly for money is going to fail for sure one must have GRIT and perseverance.
One other thing to consider is that the content matters a lot running a brand in the West is far more challenging compared to Eastern countries the only thing you must do proper research and have A BRAND STORY.
Bro said “like rip Virgil but cmon now”😂😂 luv the game tho fr

… after reading the comments… are you actually listening!? Or just hearing what you want to hear? He literally said “if you’re chasing the money, this isn’t the business for you.” Then he states why while giving you 4 other way to actually still do these things but are better money makers.
He speaking gems 💯
aye Appreciate u 🫡💎
its all about a team im in retail small brand its about networking.
Thank u for the video super real
thanks for watching & taking the time to leave a comment!
It will work if you keep bringing something new to the game. Im not saying you have to create something that has never been done before. Being Able to create bunch of clean design
Definitely. New perspective and good art always wins
What about a print on demand clothing business for a side hustle , what yall think ?
its probably decent if you want to make a few hundred per month

I'm a digital artist and wanna start a clothing brand
Vid made me wanna do it more!
awesome! good luck :) learn materials, fabrics, seams, etc. that will start you off good in making clothing
Needed dis bro appreciate itt!!!
No problem!!
What do you think about starting with something else like jewelry and then switching over to fashion?
Once you have the means to order larger quantities and do quality marketing.
For your ASC campaign do you put all the categories you are selling in that one campaign or have a separate ASC campaign for each category?
each category = 1 new ASC
@@DaveNash ok got it makes sense so that means you need a test ASC for each one to I am guessing? what about for each country?
new campaign for each country, for each category
@@DaveNash ok got it thank you!
@@DaveNash Lastly do you send them to just website or website and shop?
Listening to bro and be like.... Dafaq hes talking about😂
Bro thanks for helping me realize how stupid i was i did it for money before now i got my best friend whose dream is to have a brand and now we are starting soon 🎉🎉
good luck! it's always dank to build something with your bsf. lets get it
Can you do a video on how to setup ads? Automatic vs manual targeting?
gotchu for sure
I genuinely fuck with this kinda content
@@brandopolo2 appreciate u brooo
I’m one of the 1% of people who watched the whole thing. i’ve bought vinyl cutters heat presses and all the things i need for a clothing brand i have it all set up but idk if i should continue after hearing this. i enjoy making my clothes and designs and want them to do well and i want someone else to like them too so i think i just need to keep going for the long run but idk this video has given me mixed feelings about whether it’s worth pursuing or not.
defiantly continue, I started a year ago with a heat press and cricut, built my brand from that, I’m now out 13.5k follows on ig and my brand is runnin smooth, there’s ups n downs but if you just stay consistent and dedicated you’ll run it up
What is your opinion on luxury streetwear POD?? Including marketing agency’s full time graphics designer? Please need your advice!!!
definitely dont do this!! design something yourself or hire someone yourself, then just get it made bulk.
How many pieces would you recommend dropping on the first drop? Considering having a audience already
3 pieces is cool fam
Don’t listen to this guy, he said a $2,000 photo shoot 🤦🏽♂️ this where I unsubscribe 😂
agency model full day is already $1k+, not to mention photographer hair/makeup studio etc. are you okay bro?
DO listen to this guy. $2000 is even on the Cheapside if you want to do it properly and ethically.
@@tengoodquestions Nah bro, I gained 26k followers in a month with my brand. I spent no money towards ads, models, photos, ect. I did everything off my phone and with myself. You don't gotta do all that fancy stuff and pay high amounts of money.
You’d have to have a certain passion and fashion sense to start a clothing brand. A creative mind but also a business mind. Few people can do it all. It’s over saturated because these youngins think a t shirt design will make them rich. Only start a brand because it’s your passion because you WILL lose a lot of money in the beginning. And that’s where most people struggle.
I have a business model that no one in this space is doing, I also have that leverage you were talking about, my situation is a serious anomaly. I am also an artist and designer first which helps. I won't go into my model but I am looking to learn about the marketing aspect. do you do consultations?
yes. send me an email descrbing what kind of help you'd need -
