Many people dream of starting a fashion brand.   The combination of a doing something creative with the glamour and energy of catwalk shows and photo shoots can be intoxicating. What isn’t always obvious - at least for new designers or for people outside of the industry - is the challenge of starting from scratch.   It’s not only about growing your brand.  It’s about doing everything yourself - from designing to sewing - and the business side.   And it’s not only in the fashion industry.  Starting a business can be very rewarding, but you need to be able to play the long game to reap those rewards. Meet Sofia Georgia Rothman, a rising star on the New York design scene.  Her collection has a growing following of young consumers - like her - who want high quality garments with a sense of personal style. In this episode she shares a ‘raw and real’ look at what it’s like launching a brand - and taking it from being a personal project into a business.
