Hello everyone....I am thinking on starting an online clothing website and I came across this site called www.fenomclothes.com and I would appreciate it if I could get everyone's opinion on the setup of the site and the actual product?

Another piece of crap 4th generation knock-off gothic/baroque/LA Rock/Clip Art piece of crap clothing company. Website build is ok but it takes an eternity to load.

Sick and tired of seeing companies with no imagination still heading down this road, attempting to bleed every last dollar out of this aesthetic. If you go to the trade shows you'll see a handful of the originators Howe/Salvage/Monarchy, Affliction and 400 douche bag knock-off merchants trying to get a piece of the action. It's not a handsome product in the first place but I know that it appeals to the brain damaged meat head demographic.

Brands like this are the human equivalent of a one eyed hooker with Down Syndrome marketed as a Giselle look-alike!.

If you go to the trade shows you'll see a handful of the originators Howe/Salvage/Monarchy (Monarchy shamelessly ripped Salvage), Affliction (which is puke and came 18 months after their predecessors) and 400 douche bag knock-off merchants trying to get a piece of the action. It's not a handsome product in the first place but I know that it appeals to the brain damaged, Orange County, Meat Head, Persian demographic.

I know, but the more copy cats I see almost makes me look back at what we started 4 years ago with some amount of pride and satisfaction. I never thought I'd say that!.

It is. I wouldn't discourage anyone from taking a leap into starting their own line. Just take ownership of your own aesthetic not some fourth generation flogged to death look that wasn't that great in the first place

Most of these "new" companies are just part of a stable of brands run by garmento **** bags void of any design intelligence. Greed and ball busting is part of their game. Just a bunch of old-skool scrotes who couldn't die off quick enough in my opinion.

The navigation of the site is pretty good, but the clothing isn't to my liking

I know you have a big Iranian expat population out there, but what do you think are their characteristics?
