Bitcoin and the fashion industry.

[manselr]

I think its a positive idea, the logo of Bitcoin is very slick and cool looking so could be put on clothes in a nice way. Maybe when I become rich in 10 years holding BTC I may wear a nice BTC shirt, right now I think i cant pull it off lol.

depending how much bitcoiner around you,or how your effort to promote your design to bitcoin around the world 

[faridkifly]

It would be a great idea, but I think you have to make a better designs.
Because most designs just like adding 1 picture on a plain cloth.

yes I agree with you. I think it's better if the design is made simple and quiet.

Demographically an undercatered segment of the Bitcoin market is to fashion, albeit statistically its mainly male users who might not be looking into clothing as much that said their is a potential market there for products like yours as people like Bitcoin swag.
It's worth a shot in my opinion best of luck with your venture.

The fashion industry and Bitcoin could benefit if they employ the millions of unemployed people around the world, to do the work. There are a huge demand for handmade clothing and you still find the odd people doing knitting and such, so it can create a whole new informal industry, based on Bitcoin branding and payment.

I think it is a good idea, and I hope you are successful.

I actually ran this idea by her. She said she thinks its a wonderful step from keeping people out of poverty. She is hoping to go to homeless shelters in NYC and employing homeless individuals with no jobs on the spot to work for her with added benefits this holiday season. It will be a seasonal job though. She will also have to find out if any of them can knit though.

It took her about 4 months to hone her knitting abilities because knitting isn't just a skill. It's also really an art. It's not like she can teach people how she knits, you know? It's a challenge, but she's willing to do it if it means less people will be out in the cold.

I love how her ideas are about helping others, and not really about herself.

Actually, men actually do wanna look presentable. And hey, it's worth a shot. Bitcoin suits and ties with Italian dress shoes sounds wonderful.

Those aren't real fashion items.

Ours is name brand designer fashion...that's what we meant. Anyone can copy the bitcoin logo and paste it on a shirt or hoodie. We're making coats, shoes, (even high heels), dresses, suits, etc.....

 This is probably why we need fashion advocates as adopters to thoroughly explain what name brand designer fashion actually is.

I mostly agree with this sentiment. screen printing a design on something is actually graphic design, fashion design would imply construction of garments... its oranges and apples though... like when people say they are curators because they made a list of something... actual curatorial practice involves a lot more than organizing things into a group, but most people dont care. my local taco truck has a menu that says it has been "curated" by so-&-so... only people with fine arts degrees notice how dumb this is.

Joseph Beuys said "Every man woman and child is an artists, there are no non-artists." he didn't specify that some of those "artists" get it and some dont.

BTC world is rife with lousy art. terrible fashion. awful music. Hobbyists clamoring to make a quick buck on the coat tails of a trend. Faddish and lacking in imagination. Tacky. Art and commerce have never had a good relationship. Its as simple as that.

I would qualify these as novelty apparel items. you should too, because the world of actual fashion designers will ridicule you into oblivion.

Lol. Thank you so much. You honestly explained it better than I ever could to that user, thank you. Is there anything I can do to repay you?

i agree with your sentiment. but my point was more about the type of clothing/product. EG a tie with a logo as oppose to a woolly sweater.. rather than how it was created.

for instance. cravats/scarves have a bigger demograph than woolly sweaters.
a decent woolly scarf with a bitcoin logo could outsell a woolly sweater with a bitcoin logo..

No one said anything about selling a sweater. Rofl.

i am trying to help you here.. but it seems you are not understanding what i have been saying, and taking offense to it..

but um i must atleast point out, that i do love how you edit posts, so ill paste this before you edit it out

[TheGr33k]

Will someone please tell me when I ever editted anything? Lol.

I posted the sweater with the intention of showcasing the hand woven Bitcoin logo on the sweater, and to inform people that the hand woven design was not going to be sold on sweaters, but on hats and scarves.


Lol. I'm done. This thread can end because it has an overall positive feedback rating. Only one person hates our idea, so this thread can end.
