We know what you think of yourself:
❝
I have many creative ideas. I already create my products – from improvised materials, with a minimal budget. But I’m terribly afraid to show them to the world. What if society, the audience does not understand me and not an example? What if I have no chance to become a professional?
❝
I don’t have the initial capital to start my own brand. I know that I need to assemble a team, buy materials and rent equipment. I’m afraid I need to forget about my dreams in fashion design.
❝
Everyone says that you can break through in the fashion world only if you have connections and contacts with influential people. I definitely don’t have any. How can I be then? Is it worth starting at all?
