Fellow myLotters, I need your suggestions! I have just started conducting research for a friend who has some brilliant ideas for the design of men's suits and dress shoes. He does not have formal training or contacts in the industry, however. He has some designs that he feels passionately about and he has the financial resources to make it happen.

I have been delegated with the task of getting the project started. There are an awful lot of brilliant and talented mylotters out there. Even if you do not have any expertise in this industry I would still like to have your input (and if you do have expertise, please share what you know if you are so inclined). What would you do? Where would you start? What information would you need? What are some of your ideas for implementing this project?

I'm very impressed with the level of talent and intelligence in the discussions I see here on myLot. It's a pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful community. I very much look forward to your responses!

I recommend that you check out International Male for ideas on what clothing can be designed for men. IM has quite a line of unique clothing for men, some of which I've never before seen in my life! I do agree, current male fashion is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Except for the suit, men have nothing really to get dressed up in. No wonder they hate clothes shopping!

I'm not sure about how you can crack into the industry, though, but I suppose starting small, with a few local retailers, might be your best bet. You may also want to try going online. Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I am going to flip through a copy of International Male posthaste!
