S/S '06 inspiration BOARD

I'm working on the next collection. I think it's the best part but the toughest one too. I am finding really hard to get the right materials. It's a catch-22 situation. Big vendor companies, that offer the best fabrics and prices, don't want to work with small designers. I How can I get big if I can not get the right materials at the right price? The want you to order 60-100 yards minimum. It hurts! How can I meet that with my ties? I'm saying it loud: There should be more companies willing to work with small designers. We are the future, aren't we?
