Question

Answer 1

There are small firms called venture capitalist firms that might be able to help you out, but it is a rough time right now for retail.  You could always try asking people you know to invest in your ideas, or if you are confident enough you could go to a bank and apply for a business loan. You could even try talking with one of the companies you mentioned about if they accept new designers

Answer 2

abercrombie has a team of designers who come up with ideas for the following season.  the trick is not to follow the trend but lead the trend.  you might be able to sell your clothes online through special order.

Answer 3

unless you have some significant assets already, VC's or even Angel's won't touch you.

your only real shot would be to try to get a loan from a bank or trick some family member to invest in you.  nobody serious would waste their time (no offense) on someone as small as you.
