    Default Skim Clothing Company

    I'm thinking about starting a skim clothing company; I have a brand name, a logo, designs, and ideas but I don't know where to start. Can anyone give me any advice?
    I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

    Yep, I know theres a shoe company, but they go by "Vision Street Wear", so I don't think the name is going to be a problem; hitherto, "Vision Street Wear" is the only major company that i have seen with a similar name.

    As for how the name came to be, Vision is derived from 'The Vision', which is from "The 89 Vision" by Sublime, which is derived from "Jailhouse" by Sublime, which is a reference to KRS-ONE.

    Vision is the fourth derivative of KRS-ONE would have been a more concise answer.
    go on.

    I'd notice. I love my Visions



    Not that it matters but they are making a pretty big comeback. Signing a lot of new skaters, lots of new shoes. I have to say, if I glanced at one of those shirts on someone, I'd assume it was the skate company.

    I'd say make the 'Skim Wear' very visable to avoid any headaches.

    Change the name- it's only going to create headaches if it catches on.
