# Complex (?) hierarchical WP setup help

 * Hi Guys, I’m about to start a website based on WP for a fashion label. The main
   part of the site is about the designers (called brands), their designs and other
   info. I have uploaded a [site plan](http://www.armanios.co.uk/fileshare/site-plan.pdf)
   of the site to make it easy for you to get what I am talking about. The section
   I am concentrating on here is Brands. As you can see each designer has their 
   own biography, collection of designs that come out each season (image gallery)
   which needs to be archived, fashion show video, illustration gallery and links
   to the press releases related to that specific designer.
 * I am hoping this can be achieved in such a way as to make the permalink structure
   like so:
    1. /brands/%designer-name%/ = biography
    2. /brands/%designer-name%/collection = latest collection with archive links to
       previous collections
    3. /brands/%designer-name%/collection/%collection-name%/ = specific collection
    4. /brands/%designer-name%/fashion-show = fashion show video
    5. brands/%designer-name%/illustrations = illustration gallery
    6. /brands/%designer-name%/press OR /press/%designer-name%/ = press stories relating
       to designer
 * The two main considerations here are:
    1. As simple as possible for a user to enter data
    2. Permalink structure
 * Point one here is the most important as the permalink structure can be compramised
   for easier data entry.
 * Could you please advise me on how to set this up, I am currently thinking of 
   custom post types for Brands/designer and for collections linking them together
   with a custom taxonomy but I’m not sure how or if this would work as I have never
   used custom taxonomies before.
 * If you made it this far thanks for reading through and any help will be appreciated.
