.chic

"A namespace for fashion, beauty, design, and lifestyle brands whose identity is built on style and elegance. The .chic TLD will serve the global style economy - fashion labels, beauty brands, interior designers, boutiques, and creators - with an address that is itself a statement of identity. The mission is to provide a namespace where style-led businesses can signal their positioning in a single word that carries the same meaning in dozens of languages. Intended registrants are fashion and lifestyle brands, design studios, boutiques, salons, and creative professionals; intended users are consumers of fashion, beauty, and design content and commerce worldwide. The TLD will enable brandable storefronts (maison.chic), campaign and collection addresses for seasonal drops, and personal-brand identities for stylists and creators. The registry will launch with programs curated for the fashion calendar and distribute through accredited registrars with strength in the creative-professional, fasion, influencer and celebrity channels. Sustainability derives from the style sector's constant brand formation and the evergreen semantic value of the word itself; the registry's conservative financial plan funds operations through year three, with the renewal base sustaining the registry long-term."
