*** Show Notes ***

In today's world, the fashion industry has become a crucial part of our lives. It is no longer just about the clothes we wear but also about the brands we choose to represent ourselves. There are different types of brands that exist in the fashion industry, and they all have their unique characteristics. In this video, we will explore the difference between lifestyle brands, streetwear brands, and fashion brands.

Lifestyle Brands

Lifestyle brands are all about promoting a particular lifestyle. These brands are typically associated with a specific activity, interest, or culture. For example, Patagonia is a lifestyle brand that promotes outdoor activities and sustainable living. Similarly, Nike is a lifestyle brand that focuses on athletic and active lifestyles. These brands usually have a loyal following of consumers who share the same interests and values.

Lifestyle brands typically offer a wide range of products beyond just clothing, such as accessories, gear, and equipment. They often collaborate with other brands or individuals who share their values to create unique products or experiences. For instance, Patagonia has collaborated with various environmental organizations to promote sustainable living.

Streetwear Brands

Streetwear brands are rooted in youth culture and have been around since the 1980s. These brands are typically associated with urban culture, hip-hop, and skateboarding. Streetwear brands are known for their bold designs, graphics, and logos. They often use oversized silhouettes and baggy clothing that reflects the relaxed and casual vibe of streetwear.

Streetwear brands often collaborate with artists, musicians, and other brands to create limited edition products that appeal to their target audience. These collaborations are often highly coveted and have become a way for streetwear brands to expand their reach and credibility.

Fashion Brands

Fashion brands are typically associated with high-end designer clothing and accessories. These brands are often synonymous with luxury, quality, and exclusivity. Fashion brands are known for their attention to detail, intricate designs, and use of high-quality materials. They often have a signature style that is consistent across all their products.

Fashion brands typically cater to a more upscale and sophisticated consumer who is willing to pay a premium for high-quality clothing and accessories. They often have a strong brand image and are associated with celebrities and influencers who promote their products.

This video was so helpful! Although there 3 obvious categories, you simplified them well in your summary. I like how you distinctively mentioned streetwear is generated towards the youth market. It helps you think a lot how you can specifically market your brand to a target customer.

Large group photoshoots look really cool. I may have to do one of these….Great video!

[laritravel]

Thanks for that piece of information! Honestly I didn‘t know what brand I was building before watching your video. Found out it‘s a lifestyle brand

[nashireillustrationshiatus]

Really solid video!! Thanks for clearing up the differences, as you said this helped me realize the kind of brand I'm trying to build and especially audience I'm wanting to make and give back to

[ShroomGodBreadzilla]

GREAT VIDEO. GREAT EXPLANATION. THANK YOU! 🙏🏽

[lindatroy]

Thanks so much for this Rob! Helped heaps! I have two brand names that have been in my head for years and this year finally decided to begin with one of them. I have now a partner to help with the business end, but I'm the design end. I had my niche sorted, brand identity sorted or so I thought! I have spent forever learning everything I can, watched more YouTube videos than I can count, and finally felt confidant enough to believe this is possible! So in my excitement and anxiety (this is a big deal) ideas really started flowing, then more ideas, and more ideas and more.... Was getting way off track! In this one video you have totally pulled me back to where I need to be. Clarity finally! The brand I am starting up is a Lifestyle brand, and the other that is on hold indefinitely is Streetwear! Other ideas that kept at me are Fashion! Awesome!

People starting out should begin with a lifestyle brand cause the lifestyle already narrows down the demographic for you. Too many people attempt to make streetwear brands but they have issues targeting a demographic or niche. Lifestyle brands are usually laser targeted at a demographic & you don’t have to guess / test as much as you would with a streetwear brand. Great video. 👍

[alexisgarcialuna]

This just verified that I do indeed want to do a lifestyle brand. Thanks for clearing this up brotha.

[Tblade_DareToBeDifferent]

I created our brand logo from scratch. But I have used brand crowd before. They have good concept ideas!

[atlasmenswear]

Thanks for the great video. Can a brand be a combination of two categories? We’re a fashion brand targeting a specific lifestyle. That certainly has its challenges but also big advantages in being able to target the niche. 💪💪

We got to be formal indoors/outdoors until further notice
But you cannot/will not keep the items i need in the automotive just in case from someone else telling me

I don't wear prep/business casual
So I do understand

[its_just_marvlus]

I think this is where I had trouble on. My logo here is based on Art itself and identity. So then my brand would be lifestyle and/or Streetwear.

[donbur]

When u started did you do pop up shops collges etc or just internet sells

[DrSuperpump]

Bro please make a video on planning photo shoots with agencys/models

[jerrellslay]

What would jonny cupcakes be considered?

[SLTFACE]

Other fashion brands are Valentino, giuseppe, balmain, Alexander McQueen, etc. why you didn’t mention those? Those brands you named are overrated and those brand names that you mentioned are the first the come to people minds. There’s more brands than gucci and LV

Stuck between life style and streetwear

[jeremyleonard]
