Steampunk jewels tend to follow an art nouveau design stemming from the Victorian era. Modern utilitarian objects are created by artisans inspired by 19th-century steam-powered machinery many times incorporating science fiction.
Steampunk finishes that are popular are brass and worn metals for an aged look. Clocks, gears, chains and machinery are often used in retro-futuristic designs giving the feeling of stepping back in time through a time machine.

How do I sell my product directly to department stores?
Can you offer advice on the best way to contact them?
Get into a showroom that has these connections. I'm with one in Los Angeles so I don't have to worry about sales. I have connections with a few that work with the majors. It will cost a min of 500 a month but that's the way to do it right. Just be aware of Be cautious, as there are showrooms that don't produce results, and simply collect on monthly fees. I'd love to hear more about your product!JK

What is the best way to approach online, multi-brand boutiques to get listed?
One of the biggest challenges for new or growing brands when approaching multi brands (whether on or offline) is convincing the retailer of the following: a) You can delivery the product as promised b) It will sell and do so at an acceptable margin c) That you can find a way to cover them if b) fails If you are approaching them as an unknown and are getting significant push back, then your best bet is to ensure that they feel comfortable with the inventory risk they're taking. Here are 3 different ways in which that can be done: a) guarantee their margin b) sell on consignment c) offer a return guarantee ("put it on wheels") I generally only recommend c), as guaranteeing retail margin can become a drain on your own margin, while selling on consignment means you have to wait to get paid until the product is sold by the retailer. I therefore suggest to offer an upfront return agreement (either x%, or if you want to get really aggressive, take back anything that doesn't sell). The point is to cap their risk and make them feel comfortable about taking a shot with a new and unproven vendor. Make it clear upfront that this is for the starting season only to test the brand, so that they don't expect to maintain that kind of return agreement forever.JS

How can I monetize my fashion blog at an early stage?
First things first - you have 2 ways to monetise. 1 - build an audience 2 - get paid to write (not necessarily on your site). 1 - How to get readers and build an audience If you have an audience then advertisers will pay to promote to your audience. It's important that you ensure your audience find the adverts relevant and appropriate or they will unsubscribe. As a fashion blogger you can often get free product (clothes) from retailers in exchange for your writing about them. I recommend you then sell the clothing to raise funds. When you're a very good popular blogger you can charge money, till then, ask for product. The easiest way to get paid is to install Google AdSense on your site and in your email newsletters. I use FeedBlitz.com as my newsletter distribution service and they also insert adverts (from a different service) into the newsletters. 2 - Get paid to write - go research the online freelance marketplaces like Upwork.com, guru.com, freelance.com and find paid writing gigs. You can often re-purpose writing for your own site at the same time. I often re-use Answers from Clarity.fm for my own blog. Here's a good list of places to learn more http://www.bloggersclub.com/ is an agency representing bloggers to brands. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/sites-to-get-paid-blogging/ Read anything by Neil Patel on how to grow your audience http://neilpatel.com/2016/01/17/six-figure-consultant-4-proven-services-every-blogger-can-offer-to-make-money-online/RC

Fashion is not about flashy outfits or buying expensive jewelry and makeup sets. Rather, it is an absolute term that indicates that people have different perceptions of fashion. This is why there are so many reasons why fashion is important. It not only makes you look good but also defines your personality. Let's take a look at some points that will help you understand the importance of the latest fashion trends 1. Fashion creates a great first impression You may have heard that first impressions are very important, which is why we try to create the best first impression we can. Therefore, the first and second seconds are very important when you see a person for the first time. Apart from this, the way you wear jewelry, accessories, and outfits is very important if you want to make a great impression on the people you meet. So, this is the number one reason to follow fashion. 2. Fashion is a means of self-expression We know that the essence of our lives is art. Art helps you bring out the creativity in you. When you pursue art to express yourself, it helps create fashion trends. In fact, the things we create using our creativity can signify fashion. 3. Fashion helps you bring out the creative side You don't have to become a fashion designer to stimulate your creativity. All you have to do is choose designer clothes and two matching accessories. The thing is, creativity is a byproduct of inspiration. Apart from this, fashion can help you get a deeper insight into your creativity. 4.

With the help of fashion trends, you can achieve self-realization. No matter what you wear, it should make you feel comfortable.

How to launch a new fashion product for hipsters?
Facebook ads are not effective and actually far too costly for independent businesses. Unless you have a huge advertising budget, I don't advise it. To break into the hipster market You need 3 things. Great (concise) story, Great branding, and social engagement. Luckily, you have "provenance"----the place of origin or earliest known history of something. Provenance is an important quality to convey in your brand's story especially when targeting the hipster demographic who are preoccupied by the origin of all things----they're generally well educated and like to know where everything that they consume comes from. Great branding: Branding is a combination of visual consistency that positions you as different from competitors. I would consider coming up with a different name. Warmth of Russia, to me, seems long and vague. Maybe going back to the idea of provenance, is there a Russian word that's easy to pronounce and unique? Maybe the particular city where the scarves are made of. Maybe some Russian lore that can be woven into your product's story. I would make a list of 50 different names and then narrow it down to something that you think clicks. I would redesign your site and visuals as well with consideration to photographic styles, font type, colors etc to something a little edgier and different. To me, the colors, font type seem a bit retiring, snoozy. Happy to discuss more because this is a bit more nuanced. As for your site, Squarespace is a great option for making a great, professional looking e-commerce site, and they make it hard to design anything bad. Related to this, excellent SEO practice will bring more traffic to your site. I'm sure there are plenty here on Clarity who can advise you on best practices there. Next, Social Engagement. You need to demonstrate people using your scarves, the making of the scarves, where the scarves come from, the yarn used for the scarves, etc. You can take pictures of all of these things and tell the story visually all on instagram. If you haven't already made an Instagram account, I would do so immediately. It will take time, but you can build a loyal following of people who believe in your brand story if you do a good job of visually telling it, and engaging with followers. Obviously there's more to it than just this but happy to discuss more specifically once you've thought more about what this brand is. Hope all of this helps, best of luck!~VG
