Gone are the days when being a geek, a nerd, a dork, is uncool. The uber-cool among us are now costuming themselves to appear as the geeks they once taunted. With the proliferation of the I.T. and design industries, "Geek Chic" is a style quickly finding it's way onto the streets of Australia. The true geeks are finding that they now have an identifiable culture that others strive to be a part of.Part of being a geek is loving something so much, in a way that it opens you up to ridicule. This may be a love of computers, books, video games, comics, horror films, technology, the list goes on.
It's now cool to love what you love so excessively. being geeky and being cool are no longer mutually exclusive. My label brings the two together, making it readily available to both the true geek and those wanting to embrace the trend, maybe revealing their inner geek.
We readily associate certain things with being a geek. These things could be seen as the totems or symbols of this culture.
My label is inspired by the late 70's/early 80's era, the introduction of the video arcade as well as elements of the 1940's, i.e. the pencil skirt popularized by Christian Dior.
My target market will be the 20-30 year old, fashion conscious men and women of Australia who appreciate vintage fabrics, understated T's, and classic design for everyday street wear.
I will be creating the Autumn/Winter range for my label including both men's and women's wear.
I am wanting to use a single word associated with the geek world for my label. Some potential names include:
