More details to this question:
I currently run a clothing brand and have filed for a LLC. But, the LLC name is different than my clothing brand name due to certain circumstances. Can I still operate my clothing brand under its original name legally and sell to retailers, customers, etc? *Note, I am currently filing a trademark for my clothing brand name, but it is still in process.

A trademark is different from the name of a business. If you operate under the name of your LLC, then you should be able to sell clothing with a trademark, without anything else. However, if you operate a business under the name of the trademark, then you will have to file a ficticious business name statement with the county.
