All New Business Ideas in Fashion



 

Closet Marketplace

Threadflip is pioneering a new social shopping experience by offering women a simple way to convert their closets into a dynamic boutique-like experience, connecting buyers with sellers, and capturing the collaborative energy of shopping with friends.

Essentially, it is a social marketplace for buying, selling, and discovering new, unique, and pre-loved fashion. With a few clicks, users can upload images of pieces straight from their closet, and sell clothing, shoes, bags, and jewelry they no longer wear, creating a treasure trove of thousands of new pieces every day.

Interchangeable Heels

Bacolté is the innovative female shoe with interchangeable heel: a unique shoe, first thought, and then designed and created by a woman whose determination has revolutionized the construction rules of the female shoe, to fulfill the “dream of millions of women”.

In fact, the concept behind Bacolté is transformation: enable women to use a single pair of shoes and lots of heels, which can be changed, not only in shape but also in the finishing and height. How many women in the world have dreamed of wearing a pair of shoes that can adapt to their desires?

The same Bacolté can have endless shapes and finishings of heels and other accessories: this allows every woman to create and customize her own décolleté day after day, making it unique and unmistakable, thus expressing her creativity and personal taste.







Fashion for the Unconventional

Xeni is a young fashion label designing, manufacturing and retailing online couture quality clothing specifically designed for women who use wheelchairs and clothing and jewellery for women who have difficulty with the manipulation of clasps, buttons and zips.

A significant aspect of Xeni’s design is how to respond to the situation of being unable to stand. This has resulted in designs for tunics, dresses, jackets and coats with a cutup back so that they do not go under the seat. This allows my garments to be put on by a seated person independently. This aspect of design is particularly relevant for coats, which by their very nature need to be put on and taken off often.

Levi’s Jeans for Cyclists

The ‘Levi’s Commuter Series’ for men lets the urban cyclist get around on a bike without having to think about how their clothes will hold up during the process.

Levi’s’ new line of hoodies, pants and jackets were designed specifically to combat the most common two-wheeler-induced problems. The line features reinforced construction to ensure long-term wear and ‘Nanosphere’ technology to ensure the rider’s apparel will stay dry in a downpour. The fabrics used are lightweight and stretchy for increased comfort and ventilation and have 3M reflective tape to ensure that the rider can be easily seen at night. The pants also have a high-rise waistband with a convenient spot to attach a U-Lock.

Kanye West Hot Heels

Kayne West who has made quiet a reputation as a chart topping rapper and record producer, is now bent on creating a similar reputation as a fashion icon with the range of designer shoes, in collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti. After taking care of producing chart topping numbers, the rapper is now going to lend his name for something which would take care of the rich ladies feet, by pairing with an icon of Italian craftsmanship. Never the less, the price for each pair would be in the region of $5,800 each, which puts it in the next shopping list of wealthy buyers.

These Kayne West-GZ designer high heels first appeared last year in October, when it managed to grab eye balls at the Paris Fashion Week where it also turned out to be a hot favorite pick amongst fashionistas. The bone-colored pair of high heels is known to be created with calf leather base, with embroidered pearls, zip fastening design and also a black leather heel cover. With the imposing ideas of the rapper along with the designing skills of the brand, this pair seems to be a killer of an accessory, and a sure shot ticket to flashbulbs glory for any lady that wishes to dawn them.

Futuristic Prada Heels

TrendHunter: If Jane and Judy Jetson were to get glammed-up for a space-age style night on the town, they’d no doubt be donning a pair of peep-toes from the Prada Spring 2012 footwear collection.

The shoes that make up the turn-of-the-season assembly are catwalk treads that will quickly soar to the top of the runway ranks due to their handy rocket-packing heels. Mixing 1950’s framework with feminine flames and futuristic embellishments, Prada bring their cool kick collection well past the upcoming season and into the far off years of fashion.

Dvice: We now have the surest sign that touchscreen devices are no longer limited to the realm of techies and have gone truly mainstream. This winter one of the biggest apparel chains in the world has decided to make iPhone-friendly gloves a major staple of their line-up.

The wool gloves feature conductive material woven into the fingertips (index finger and thumb) of the gloves, with a design that subtly highlights the tech-powered nature of the otherwise normal gloves.

Plastic Fantastic Protection

Plastic Fantastic is a tube of highly advanced plastic that will seal tight around your stiletto heel when sufficient heat is applied – the recommended way to do this is with a proper hairdryer.

Plastic Fantastic will prevent all those scratches and scrapes that have so many times made you wish that you hadn’t worn your favourite shoes out.

Plastic Fantastic is a virtually invisible and permanent solution to this well-known problem and is made from a durable material, designed to resist almost any damage.

Joe Button Custom Fit Shirts

Joe Button embraces the DIY fashion model and allows both men and women to design their own shirts and shirtdresses online.

Each shirt is created to the customer’s individual preferences and male customers can choose from one of four sizing methods depending on their time commitment. A lot of people find that the only problems with a standard sized shirt are that the sleeves are too short or the neck is too tight, so Joe Button developed a system where customers can start with a standard size and then tweak as many measurements as they like to fit their bodies. Joe Button’s blog is also a platform where customers can learn about style advice, what’s hot and celebrity styling with shirts & shirtdresses.

All of Joe Button’s cottons are sourced from Europe and start from $99 which is a lot cheaper than the price of an off the rack shirt of comparable quality.
