Brand Tone

Provocative, bold, edgy, and potentially rebellious or unconventional. It might also carry a hint of dark romance, independence, or a statement against traditional romantic ideals. If connected to the artist Maryon, the tone would also incorporate elements of artistic, quirky, feminist, and inclusive.

Brand Values

• •Individuality/Self-Expression: The provocative name suggests a brand that encourages standing out and expressing a unique identity.
• •Boldness/Confidence: The choice of such a name implies a brand that values audacity and isn't afraid to be different.
• •Unconventionality: A departure from typical romantic or soft branding often seen in fashion.
• •Artistic Expression, Feminism, Inclusivity, Craftsmanship: If linked to Maryon's work

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Provocation (Tastefully): Don't shy away from the edginess implied by "Tue L'amour." Use strong verbs and confident language. However, ensure it aligns with the visual aesthetic and doesn't become offensive or alienate the target audience.
• •Define Your "Love" Narrative: Clarify what "Tue L'amour" (Kill Love) means for the brand. Is it about independence after a breakup? A rejection of traditional romance? Self-love above all? A passionate, all-consuming love? This narrative should subtly underpin the copy.
• •Speak to the "Anti-Heroine" or "Rebel Heart": Craft copy that resonates with individuals who see themselves as unconventional, independent, and perhaps a little rebellious. Use empowering language that celebrates their uniqueness.
• •Maintain Visual-Verbal Cohesion: Ensure the tone of the copy is reflected in the brand's imagery, product styling, and overall website/social media aesthetic. An edgy tone with very soft, romantic visuals would be jarring.
• •Develop a Brand Lexicon: Create a list of words and phrases that align with the bold, unconventional, and potentially artistic/feminist tone (e.g., "unapologetic," "defiant," "statement," "crafted," "empower," "rebel," "muse," "iconoclast"). Conversely, list words to avoid (e.g., "sweet," "girly" (unless reappropriated), "traditional," "obedient"). Regularly refer to this lexicon when creating content.

Social Perception

Intriguing and Cool: Appealing to a niche audience that appreciates edgier, more declarative fashion statements. Confusing or Off-putting: Some may find the name negative or difficult to associate with fashion if they are more familiar with its colloquial meaning of a "turn-off". Artistic and Empowering: If the brand successfully links to the values of the artist Maryon (feminist, inclusive, quirky), it could be perceived positively by those who align with these values.
