Guide

Naming a beauty & fashion company

Beauty and fashion names are worn. They sit on a label, a bottle or a shopping bag, and they are judged by how they look as much as how they sound. The names here have shape on the page and a little charm in the mouth.

This guide is being written. Here is what it will cover.

  1. A name you can wear: shape, length and lettering
  2. French, Italian and invented: borrowing with care
  3. One name for a range, or one per line?
  4. Packaging tests to run before you choose
  5. From name to first collection
