Buy armani suits and paint red stripes on them.
I am also fascinated lately by that sort of off-white paint that Levi's put on the pockets of their jeans instead of their stiched logo in 1943 because it was WW2 and they were running out of thread. It has thick caked look and cracks and wears beautifully. A long time ago (for me, in 1995 when I was buying and selling vintage jeans to support my filmmaking habit) I sold a deadstock pair to a Japanese collector of $8000. I want to paint that white paint all over the back of my Kicking Mule Jeans.
I also was obsessed by this idea for a while of doing a line of toys that is all flat black vinyl, with no paint, 50 pieces of each design, no more. Then I would rent an empty store in NYC or London or LA for a month and line them all up on the floor like soldiers, a thousand toys, and people could come in and buy them and take them away and when the toys sold out the store would be empty. The price would go up as the toys disappeared from the floor...

I'll never get around to doing this.

I say do it. I'd definitely buy one. People fail to realize how beautiful minimalism is.
a vinyl incarnation of emperor qin's terracotta warriors. sounds good to me
love the store idea. i say go for it. don't even do a "real" store. do a "pop-up" store (http://rurl.org/an3). or do it in an abandoned warehouse/building.
people would be all over it. and if it's pop-up, you could take it to places people wouldn't expect it, and/or move it around.
do it. please.
