Hi,

I want to start my own lingerie line. I have found a niche in the market that I believe with my dedication I can fill.

I know that this is not going to be an easy process and that’s what I’m looking for... something to challenge me.

As I am not a designer myself, I just wanted to know how I would go about getting someone to draw and bring together my ideas. Is this something that is possible?

Obviously coming with no design experience I am unsure where to kind of start here, the only way I know how to ask is to ASK! I have inspiration boards of designs that I want but need a designer to pull those ideas together. Would I also have to get something legal written up to ensure that they do not take the designs once they are created?

In terms of sourcing materials for samples, is this something that I would discuss with the designer?

I would be manufacturing off shore so another question I have is, do I source the materials to supply to the manufacturers or do I have to use what materials that manufacturer can provide. Would I then get the designer to create my designs and make samples for the manufacturer to replicate?

Any advice would be very much appreciated. I know I may sound naive going into something that I don’t have a strong background is, my I know the business side of what I can bring and have the dedication to take on this challenge.

I look forward to hearing from all of you
