Of all the "great" ideas I've had, this may be the worst. It may be because I am the least qualified in the world to be messing with the fashion category. It may also be that I just got lazy on this one - or I just didn't pull out the eraser fast enough.
Either way, the promise of this blog is to get all ideas out on the table.
If I used proper restraint this wouldn't be Quixoting™, now would it? The restraint comes in what I decide to pursue someday, but idea generation needn't have a filter.
But hey, there have been some pretty crazy ideas that made millions after they sauntered themselves down a New York runway (no, I've never been there for fashion week but perhaps some of you have). Also, if they can sell jeans that were (so it appears) blasted with a shotgun at close range for premium prices, I say anything goes.
So here's the idea. It's a clothing line called Left Off. It means that key aspects of clothing that are expected to be there, are not.
OK, as soon as the laughter dies down I'll continue. . .

Thank you. Here's the page from my idea book:
If you can stand it, you can double click on the image to make it larger.
So what's in the line. Well, of course, there is logo'd apparel. But the key items in the line include:
1. A baseball hat with no brim (hey, we all wear them backwards anyway, right?)
2. A button down shirt with no buttons, no pocket and no collar
3. Shoes with no laces (OK, these already exist - but we need a full line to succeed at Nordstrom)
4. A belt with no buckle
So what do you think? Is it time for the filter? If not, what else should the line include? There's got to be someone out there with some fashion sense!
