okkk so me and my friend were going to start a clothing company, kind of like how brooke did clothes over bros on One Tree Hill. does anybody have anygood ideas about what we could make it called? definantly something with couture in it
Imperialistic answered Monday June 5 2006, 12:33 am: Honestly, couture is -very- overdone and if you start a line that has 'couture' in it, it might even seem like a rip off Juicy or Haute.
Go for a play off your name, those are always cute. For example, Tracy can be turned into T-Racy, Allison can be turned into Lily of the Aly.
Sometimes a number after your name can make your label sound pretty trendy (use a lucky number or something meaningful) like Jamie19 or Cass77. Sometimes you can fit the number into the name itself, like Car3y as in Carey or 5am as in Sam (which can be substituted to making a label called 5 AM). If it's your friend and you, you could fix your name into making a new word. Laura and Ashley could be LASH and Emily and James could be JEMY or JAIL (if you're desperate, you could add couture to the end of that). You could also stick initials together of yourself or places (suck as DKNY or FCUK), like JDC (Jane Doe Canada) or JSDC (John Smith Washington DC), or use you friend and your own initials TJMT or TMTJ or MTJT or Empty Jaytee (Tara Johnson and Mary Thomas). These ideas don't really have to be for names, you can use objects or places too, i.e. dance23 or take a dance (replacing chance).
You can pick tons of random things for your label. Just look around the room and you can figure it out.
Citizen Grey <- inspired by my grey computer screen and it's make
Line #2 <- inspired by my phone
Hot Date <- inspired by The Sims (might be confused with Hot Kiss)
Grill Girls <- inspired by a Subway napkin
Mousse <- inspired by my maybelline mascara
Directory <- inspired by the directory
By the way, these can all have couture at the end of it.
Just open your eyes look at everything (the sky, the pavement, gravel, grass) and eventually something will stick out and sound "just right".
Stay away from names like "Stars" or "Sparkly", they aren't original at all. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
I dunno man. If I were you I'd want to put my own name in there somewhere, so people would know it was mine when I became famous! Include words that associate what you're making with what image you want to give off. If you wanna be gothic, have something like Spiderweb Couture. If you wanna be sporty go for something like Active Couture. If you wanna be glam, have something like Glitzy Couture. Project your image in your name.
