Textiles for Thinkers, LLC, "Knowledge as Your Style"(tm), has launched its first brand, Thinker Clothing™, online as www.ThinkerClothing.com.
Some examples of Thinker Clothing
Thinker Clothing™ incorporates imagery from the latest innovative projects in disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ("STEM") -- human genomics to audio, wireless to nanotechnology, quantum and forensics to chaos theory.
Thinker Clothing™ invites students, techies, geeks, academics, researchers and professionals everywhere to wear and express their passion for "STEM".
"Our mission is to appeal to the best and brightest in each of us as ... thinkers. Textiles for Thinkers™ supports U.S. education and competitiveness in these fields by spotlighting topics under microscopes or on Internet tiles and taking them mainstream in appealing, provocative, educational, even humorous designs that become conversational and raise interest. Our designs have global appeal and will be dynamic as we track emerging STEM developments," says Lisa C. Clark, founder and CEO. "At San Diego's July 2007 COMIC-CON trade show, 800 people approached our team in one day to request launch information, and the universal reaction was, "COOL -- finally something for us!"
Digital textile printing, an emerging technology, is the foundation of Thinker Clothing™ design presentation, used to achieve its full-color and high-resolution effect and appeal to a precision-oriented target market, according to Ms. Clark. Thinker Clothing™ products are printed in the United States.
Textiles for Thinkers™ is launching its copyrighted Thinker Clothing™ STEM designs, and popular brain corporate logo, initially on high-quality branded cotton t-shirts for guys/gals/kids, competitively priced in the $19.95-29.95 range, and anticipates quickly expanding to other styles, cut-and-sewn clothing and accessories in response to market feedback. www.ThinkerClothing.com is interactive and invites the customer "users group" to vote for STEM topics and desired clothing/accessories, includes a "Call for Images" and doodles from STEM professionals for images incorporated into Thinker Clothing™ designs to be named for them, and a "Rogues Gallery" for customer photos in Thinker Clothing™. Textiles for Thinkers™ also anticipates offering mobile access to its site.
Thinker Clothing™ will initially be available B2C online; Textiles for Thinkers™ also welcomes retail, catalogue, campus reseller and licensing relationships.
