Does anybody out there know someone involved in designing and selling gothic clothing? (or cyber or alternative or gothic lolita or anime or fantasy or whatever you want to call it...) in the UK? After going to Leeds and seeing the awesome collection of such shops at the Corn Exchange, I was actually left a little disappointed. While I saw some very cool items, none of them were quite as nice as what I've designed myself. I have a sketchbook that is literally full of conceptual drawings, most of which are entirely viable to be made into real clothing. Clothing that I think would be a cut above the rest as far as style and fashion. I even have designs for men, good ones of which seem to be particularly elusive. But I'm not a seamstress or tailor in the slightest, so I could never make my ideas come alive on my own.
What I would really love to do is become a partner in a small company that produces its own label of clothing. I think I would have a lot to offer with my unique blend of styles and themes. But how to get involved in something like that?
