Editor’s note: This article was first published in January 2011; the “Mark by Mark Zuckerberg” online store and the sales success it describes were news at that moment.
This business idea may be so absurd that, if it weren’t for this original entrepreneur, nobody would ever have thought of it. Using the clothes Mark Zuckerberg wears, the founder of Facebook, to create a fashion line is completely unthinkable, especially when you consider that Esquire magazine named Zuckerberg the worst-dressed celebrity in the world. Yet today, his way of dressing is a very profitable business for someone else.
Well, this American entrepreneur has set up an online store whose product is clothing based on the way Mark Zuckerberg dresses, and the brand is called “Mark by Mark Zuckerberg“.
The slogan is original too. Roughly, it says that you’re not Mark Zuckerberg, but you can dress like him.
And that’s not the best part. Do you know what the best part is? It’s selling extremely well with those stretch jeans, plain shirts and zip-up hoodies.
Once again this shows that if you have a business idea, however absurd and crazy it may seem to you, you may have one of the most profitable businesses on your hands.
Let’s just hope Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t take legal action over the use of his name for a clothing brand.
If you’d also like to have Mark Zuckerberg’s style, you can visit this entrepreneur’s online store, Mark by Mark Zuckerberg.
