Yes, when you have that great idea, inspired by a story and want to convert it into your design label, make a big plunge in the world of fashion. You often get to read of the success stories, of the Dries Van Notens, the Karl Lagerfelds, Diane Von Forstenburgs and so on. You also read of certain struggles and loads of books on tips and tricks.
