I am an unemployed STARVING artist from Detroit, Michigan who LOVVVES FASHION..I want to one day own a clothing line and become successful like yourself. I would like to also have material from the clothing line reach a known runway.I understand it takes HARDWORK and DEDICATION to become successful..They say its not about the destination but more about the journey and Mr. Simmons my journey has been quite rough because im low on funds which means i cant buy the clothing license which means i cant promote like i REALLY want to AND on top of that no one in Detroit understands the love of art and fashion hell we cant even decide on a mayor..I was just wondering if there is any piece of advice that you could tell me that will help me on my journey??
