Anyone with experience creating a clothing line from scratch?

[Fightrepreneur]

I have an idea for a custom niche apparel line. I won't go into the specific niche but I am very familiar with it and have heard from many people that the market isn't meeting the current demand.

I am looking to design (collaborate with an actual fashion designer), source quality fabric material, and order units of this custom clothes line.

Has anyone here had experience in the endeavor? I'm looking at a budget of around 10k, give or take, is this reasonable to get started if designing clothing from the ground up?
