I am an aspiring business owner. I want to bring out an online clothing, shoe and accessories store and is planning to launch my website in April 2012. I've been planning and brainstorming different ideas, marketing and products this whole year. I want to market to the teenage/young women demographic who are average sized (regular S, M, L) to Plus sized. I've looked at a couple of wholesale clothing websites but they seem to not have the EXACT look I want my company to represent. So I was wondering, to all the clothing store owners...where do I get information on the wholesale clothing events in the Los Angeles area? I'm waiting on my business license to come in the mail so I know I will need that! But how do I get into the KNOW of the fashion industry! Oh and I need a mentor also...whoever wants to lend a helping hand in my career journey that will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!!!
