Johnny - how do you work with designers? Do they submit ideas to you or do you have the designs commissioned?
- Although I started the brand & original designs, it's not my strong point. I have a team + we often collaborate w/ others.JohnnyCupcakes
- If you or anyone have an portfolios or work online that you'd like me to check out, we sometimes outsource + collabJohnnyCupcakes

I think it's hard to make it in the t-shirt game. there is so much competition and it's tough to break new ground. He turned an idea into a multi million dollar company. How many of you have done that? I don't own any of his t-shirts, but from a business standpoint, it's pretty remarkable.
- agreed. stuff's not my cup o tea but in the end it's a great executionprophetone
- I have a couple of shirts and they are great, plus people always recognize and like them ...OSFA

"there is so much competition and it's tough to break new ground"
Not to mention if you have any remotely successful design it will be ripped off by Topshop/UO/Market Vendors by the end of the month.

nice packaging... I'm thinking the packaging it self is worth more than the merchandise which is a great strategy when your product is not as high end.
- define high end in clothing? a famous logo on regular clothes with great packagingMiguex
- a louie vuitton t-shirt probably costs $500 bucks, it's considered high-end, but its a t-shirtMiguex
- high end not as high end brand, but more about the quality of the actual product being sold.hektor911
- Also, cannot be sold on wallmartMiguex
- cotton, what material were use, the cut etc.hektor911
- What is worth the most are the non-tangible items such as creating emotional excitement, loyalty, and experiencesJohnnyCupcakes
- thats very true!hektor911

I like the brand! Mostly because they seem like they are doing it right. I feel that so many companies now a days get some cred and then blow up and go to shit.
Too much hate on QBN.

Well done! Saw it earlier and there are definitely a few improvements.
Hey Johnny, I know you'll be in Cali at the end of the month, but are you planning on stopping by the LA store? I'll be in LA the first week of April.
- I leave LA on Wednesday the 3rd of April. Hopefully we can cross paths!JohnnyCupcakes

Who influences the designs of the clothing and the stores themselves?
