Unless you have a passion and love for this culture don't do it. The industry is clearly over saturated and the economy is still in bad shape.

Co-sign. You can tell just by looking at this forum alone that the clothing scene, especially when it comes to street wear, is over saturated.

just remember that nobody is gonna do it for you
and not everybody is gonna look out for you
you're gonna have to put all the work in if you want a quality job
you get what you put in

Before you have a design
you need a concept

STUDY the greats -- supreme, alife, crooks, et. al. -- and PAY ATTENTION to their hustle and their designs.

I would only list Supreme as a great....the rest are hehashed logo tees OVER AND OVER AND OVER...personally I think if you use Alife or Crooks as a good brand representation then everything you just said has been devalued....like pissin in the wind.

To hell with saturation, what isn't saturated? There isn't anything new under the sun. An idea can be worth a COOL million. If you don't do it, someone else will.
