Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
Fashion industry is a very competetive one and may be hard to get the recognition to start a new trend.
My own logic says that if you knew everything about current fashion that you most likely would create just another version of the same old thing.
Perhaps not being savvy on current fashion trends could go in your favor.
In the creative arena, and in starting a business, the best thing to do is find a need and fill that niche.
Do you have any particular problem finding clothing for yourself that fit your body type, a certain style in the size you need, not the color or patterns you would like, then focus on that. Some of the greatest hit products were created when a person was just trying to fill their own needs cus it wasn't available on the market and accidently fell into a profitable business.
Do you have a creative mind? Do you already think creatively? Here's an example. When I was in grade school, a 5 or 6th grade girl wanted to wear a skirt made of jeans material. The fashion industry had not created such a thing. It was not available in any store coast to coast that we knew of. She asked her mom to make her a skirt out of an old pair of jeans. Mom cut open the inside seam and added a V of fabric in front and back from material of the bottom of each leg. When she wore it to school, every girl wanted the same thing and those with mom or aunt who could sew were wearing jeans skirts and it spread to other schools. In no time at all, there became such a demand for jeans skirts that the fashion industry created a new product, jean skirts that were available in stores everywhere. The average people like you and me who came up with the idea in the first place never got credit or made any money off of it. So if you do come up with something, the moment everyone wants what you are wearing (its good advertisement) you go get a patent on it and find out how to get your idea marketed with a fashion company. You can also go to fashion school but what will give you the edge is to be thinking outside the box.
