I'm 19

And I've found it really difficult to find a certain type of clothing style I'm looking for: cozy, but minimalistic clothes.

Shein, Zara, H&M, Fear of God, Stussy, and tons of brands just don't have the type of designs, clothing, material, and vibe I want.

So I'm starting a clothing brand, B R E A T H E, that matches the aesthetic I want, that also has the quality of semi-luxury brands like Fear of God.

Target Audience: People aged 16-30 that resonate with the cozy, but minimalistic / luxury branding that provide a sort of inviting vibe.

Since people are gonna tell me its not unique enough or too easy, here are tons of areas to innovate.

Areas for innovation: Designs (obviously so many ways to be unique), Material (More natural, soft fibers/fabrics like cashmere, RWS wool, etc.), Fit Style (Can have a unique snatched fit compared to a typical boxy fit), Collabs (work with entertainment people love, like anime), Other (You can make entirely new clothing by simply adding like another pocket in a unique place, cut-out pieces, woven tags, etc.)

I'm also making YouTube videos as a super small influencer, but I want to focus more on this brand, and brand fits really well with my YouTube audience (philosophy & self-improvement).

I'll post updates & ask questions if I'm struggling with something, I'm assuming theres of successful eCommerce people here.

Here's a few photos from my brand mood board:
