I'm all for customizing-- Taking something and turning it into an original by-product of it's former self. Why not? The world is an advanced place and such things are easy. Who says you can't wear $500 shoes and pair it with a shirt you bought at a second hand store? You can tear and cut and bedazzle the hell out of something so why not go a step further and customize your T-shirts or shoes as well? You can even do them without lifting a finger... well figuratively of course. You'll need a finger to click your mouse!
Nike came up with a great concept of customizing your trainers, which can be done at
NIKEiD! Once you've selected colours, stripes and laces and what have you, your design gets uploaded onto their system and you get credit for said design. Here you can also buy your design and have them ship it to you.
As for shirts the same can be said for
Shirtsmyway.com who boast 7 trillion options for your shirt design. Just remember that less is more! You might want to take a look at leading designers for inspiration on this one.
You may recall I
mentioned that I often make my own T-shirts with a printer and transfer paper- it's easy and guarantees you will be the only one around with it.
Now you have no one to blame but yourself if you don't like your clothes!
