Answer 1

I don't know of any celebrities. But I've worked with several independent designers.

If you're trying to get your label off the ground you might want to try hanging out at The Switchboards

http://www.theswitchboards.com/forum/ . They have a thriving community of indie designers that you can learn from.

Have you tried selling on Etsy http://www.etsy.com ? Even eBay can be a fertile selling ground - and you don't have to go dirt cheap either.

Finally try the Indie Designer Marketing blog http://www.indiedesignermarketing.com . It's older, but the ideas are still valid today.

Good luck!
