Research trends of fashion and come to their design ideas. If the artist can do his work of art itself. Otherwise, find a graphic designer to help you. If you are a screen print your designs, remember that each color of his artwork is a different screen. Check with the printing company you are using for further clarification. They can help your camera ready work. If you know Photoshop, put each color or design on a separate layer.
 

Buy the shirts.
 

That's right, many companies use shirts made by another person. Search White T-shirt companies. When you find the business you want to buy, call and set up an account. Be sure to consider the minimum necessary for printing when ordering.
 

Get labels made.

This may involve visiting stores, advertising or go to trade shows. Selling directly to customers may involve the sale in his own shop or through their website.
