unstyled is coming
I’ve commenced the build of a personal project this week that focuses on fashion, style and beauty. I bought the domain name unstyled.com at the start of the year but couldn’t work out what to do with it. At first, I thought it could be a good brand for a web design site based on Web Standards but its a market that is overdone and any chance of penetrating the market are low.
It was after a few Google searches I discovered the lack of portals and websites devoted to fashion and style. Don’t get me wrong, there are some but the majority of them focus on women’s fashion and beauty. Men are left out of the equation. So I’ve taken it on myself to develop the website to cover all areas of fashion (womens, mens and children). What I’ll do with the project on completion is still open. I don’t know whether I’ll keep it and run it myself (which would require a fair bit of time and effort), take some people on to help me run it or just sell it. For now, I just want to get it completed and try to make a bit of cash out of it through advertising.
I’ll keep you posted on the progress.
Sounds like an interesting project with a lot of potential - your’re right about a lot of fashion websites ignoring men, plus, the majority of websites are very pretentious and try and create an ‘exclusive’ ‘your not good enough to be here’ vibe. I’d like to see a fashion site that’s accessible to all and down to earth. Somewhere you can see the latest t-shirts and trainers.
Saying all that, I’ve just finished making a very pretentious site all about the subject of where art and fashion meet - take a look at http://www.nmpft.org.uk/fashination/
