Hello google research staff. I am planning on starting my own
contemporary fashion line, from manufacturing to wholesale. I have
been having a difficult time trying to find a fashion consultant /
business planner for some time.  I figure any credible company or
individual in this specific consulting field would have some sort of
web presence.
My research question is this? Can you help me comprise a List of
consultanting / business planning businesses or individuals specific
to fashion manufacturing and designing based in the Southern
California area (more specifically Orange County and Los Angles) ???
I would need to find a firm or person who can offer advice on building
a clothing manufacturing company from A to Z. They would need to have
knowledge of fundamental business planning, product design and
development, and branding and marketing in the clothing industry. In
addition, they would need to be familiar with at least some of the
following clothing brands: Diesel, Howe, Theory, RVCA, 7Diamonds,
Gstar, Paper Denim & Cloth, Energie, WE, and AG etc? Please include
valid phone numbers and web site urls.

Thank You.

Clarification of Question by single1013-ga on 06 Mar 2006 21:10 PST

please explain why you have no answers or no comments at this time . 
Is it because you need more time or feel a higher fee is justified ,
or you feel you have exhausted all possibilities , which would be 
hard to believe .  Please explain .  Thank you

One reason why you've received no responses may be that your question
asks for information that is probably not available online. In order
verify that consultants meet your requirements, it's likely that quite
a few telephone calls will need to be made. For those of us who do not
live in southern California, the expense of long distance calls makes
this kind of project less attractive.

Additionally, an open-ended request for a list is rather daunting.
Researchers have no idea what your expectations are. Do you expect a
list of five contacts, or five hundred? One thing that I, as a Google
Answers Researcher, like to know in advance is this: how will I know
when I have gathered enough information to please the customer?
Obviously, I want to give a good answer. But I also want to spend an
amount of time that is appropriate to the fee that I'll receive.
Giving a finite size to the project will probably help.
