Which is the most successful celebrity fashion line?

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:43:21 +0000

There’s an awful lot of celebs out there who are running their own fashion line.

In fact there is little you can do in fashion if you don’t have the support of a very famous person. Read more about this here:
Who is your fashion designer?

Without getting in the details of sales and margins, it seems the most successful celebrity fashion line is ran by one of the most successful hip hop singer: 50 cents.

His clothing company is G unit clothing which is making a killing since 2003.

And, no, that company doesn’t sell exclusively bullet proof vests!

What is the secret of the success of Fifty cents clothing line?

- First, it is worn by 50 cents himself, which means a lot of exposure given the success of the artist.

- Second, this company is now seven years old, which means it had enough time to invest any country in the world.

- Third, and not the least one of the partners of this company is Marc Ecko, famous owner of Ecko Unlimited.

Online urban clothing stores

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 01:43:23 +0000

Right, so you’ve got great streetwear tees and cool baggy trousers in stock but not enough investors money to open a shop on the main street?

Then online clothing stores are definitely the way to go. It demands little capital to get started and you can easily open more than one shop on the net which means that you could be selling to more than one market.

You could have one online shop dedicated to hip hop clothing, and one to skatewear for instance.

You won’t need much money to get started but the investment in time can be huge.

Not only do you need to set up the website, you also need to bring traffic to your website(s) and ticking all the boxes to make the sale.

Wether your online store sells items on a retail or a wholesale basis, you can get a great headstart by reading the following articles:

Surf clothing brands Australia

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 10:55:19 +0000

Streetwear and surf wear belong in the same category, the ones that appeals to all of us, cool people, ~~pot heads~~, urban clothes designers, ~~bloggers~~ and so on..

Billabong Australia
Billabong used to be a surfwear company. It now ditributes skatewear, snowboard clothing and wakeboard clothing.
It is one of the most popular clothing brand in Australia.
www.billabong.com.au

SurfStitch
SurfStitch is a newer brand. In the same category than Billabong, they also sell clothing for surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding. They also distribute other surf clothing brands through their online shop. www.surfstitch.com

2481 surf clothing
2481 is proud to be a 100% Australian surf clothing brand.
Their store is based in Byron Bay Australia
www.2481.com.au

There are hundreds of other surfing brands that you may already know, such as Quicksilver which I used to find pretty cool 20 years ago..
Ok Quicksilver is always going to be around because they have the budget to sponsor massively popular surfing competitions, but they are far less trendy than other newer brands such as Maddog beach wear and other new comers on the market.

Streetwear Today – International StreetStyles Magazine

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:58:53 +0000

For anybody seriously involved in the streetwear business, the must read magazine is Streetwear Today.

This streetwear magazine goes through all the established as well as new fashion trends, music trends, art and culture.

It is written by a team of German dudes who like what they do and you can instantly feel this when visiting their website.
Why not go there and subscribe to their free newsletter?

The subscription to this streetwear magazine is around usd 30 per year depending on where you stay.
That will get you four great issues containing information about streetstyles that you can rely on.

What I really liked about their website:
- The design and general feel.
- It features a wonderful list of streetwear brands contacts ranging from Asics footwear (60 y/o brand this year!) to DC shoes and skatewear.

What I liked less on their site:
- It’s all in flash which may not be very user friendly depending on the browser you’re using.
- There’s not much to read, at least not much to read for free.
- 75% of the cool brands contacts are located in Germany which isn’t great for an international magazine.

Get your clothing line manufactured in Asia, contact Kim at Ellen Clothing Manufacturer:
Get your streetwear manufactured wholesale at ECM clothing factory in Vietnam.

FILA and the other footwear brands at the origin of streetwear

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:44:45 +0000

I remember my first pair of Fila, they were all black and lasted for about a month skateboarding on a daily basis.
That was good enough at the time (1993) because reinforced skateboard shoes had not been released yet in local skateboard shops in my area.

This post comes under the category The Origins of Streetwear. What brands do you think should fit into this category?
Let us know with a comment.

I had forgotten about this brand until I stumbled upon an article by Nick Schonberger at www.highsnobiety.com titled Fila Heritage. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Nick for the quality of his blog posts. I wish I was as hardworking as him,,, I’d probably be rich by now.

Streetwear Online 2010

admin — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:48:11 +0000

Some say streetwear came from skatewear fashion from the 80ies. Not everybody agree. Anyway, it’s still a wonderful business to be in especially if you practice extreme sports such as skateboarding and snowboarding.

Winter sports are trendy, it seems that there are new boards and new ways to practice skiing every year. However, the winter fashion doesn’t seem to renew itself as easily..

The streetwear fashion at the beginning of the year is typically grinding towards snowboarding and other extreme winter sports. Year 2010 is no exception. www.snowboard-mag.com is one of the best websites around for winter sports afficionados even though their website is a little bit messy.

www.andilinks.com/streetwear-1.shtm Deserves its link here in this streetwear blog.
It’s a great directory of cool streetwear brands, blogs and designers in USA, Asia, Australia and Europe.

Definitely a good place to start your online shopping for urban clothes!
You will find all from Japanese streetwear online shop to American urban streetwear online stores.

To buy streetwear online, make sure to call the company first to check availablity, prices and timing.

Thanks for leaving your comment on this streetwear blog. And enjoy your shopping: 2010 is a great year for business.
