I've quit being astonished at each new or retro fashion trend, often originating among the youth, that comes along: wild haircuts, knee britches, piercing, etc. Instead, I'll preempt the next craze, by marketing a line of animal accessory fashion articles. This should sell well with those who empathize with the lot of domesticated animals, and with those who enjoy shocking their parents/surroundings. The following items, adapted to human requirements, would be available:

- bright orange, plastic, numbered ear tags
- non-leather collar with name tag and optional leash
- horse shoe soles/heels
- large brass nose ring with rope
- non-permanent, tattooed rump brand
- dog cape
- silver cow bell
- bridle and/or body harness
- external, yoke shoulder pads
- satin, race horse blinders (blinkers) with mask

Actually, that's how Hermes and Coach got started.

Accually, this is kind of baked already, but I like the idea of giving the occasional sweater to a dog in the winter (+)
