INTRO 40 year old Lawyer Turned Entrepreneur?

[Dubidu]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a lawyer who works in banking and am 40 years old. I have had two ideas in the last 3 years. Unfortunately for the first one, someone else went to market before me and I was initially devastated but subsequently realised I should be proud of having my first commercially viable idea. I didn't want to compete so abandoned that. The second one is really complex and I'm not sure how to approach. I've identified a market or problem and a solution (believe me when I say I know everyone needs these). The question I have is: I would need to find someone who can assist me (I think I need an engineer as well as a designer). I'm in the UK and can draft the NDA agreements etc. but who in the fashion sector would actually be the person to approach and how do I go about finding the person to help me solve the problem - again I know the solution but I don't know how to *build* the solution if that makes sense? Many thanks for reading and I look forward to your replies

You need an engineer for fashion product? Is it a mechanical device?
