independent clothing sales rep question, please help!?

Question by Jimmmy Carly: independent clothing sales rep question, please help!?
How do i find some clothing lines to rep? Do i go to boutique stores and ask if they have a sales rep in the LA district? Do i go to showrooms and ask? Do i go to magic shows or trade shows and ask?
My goal is to get fairly known lines(around 6) to represent. Whats the best way to approach this and how do i reach the buyers?! Please help!!

You need to aim higher. You want to be the rep for the manufacturer that makes the clothes sold in the boutique. Go to the big companies and apply.

Otherwise, contact recent fashion graduates at nearby colleges and get them to design clothes that you can manufacturer and sell. You are now the rep and the owner of the company. That is where the big money is.
