Several people who could be unknown, but are far more identifyable thanks to outlandish clothes/hair:
Don King, Donald Trump, Tom Wolfe, Dennis Rodman, etc. Picking non-actors here.
Is it better to create a signature style and take it to the extreme or do you know people for whom such a technique failed? Did it ultimately fail for Dennis Rodman?
I respect anyone who develops their own "signature" style. It exhibits both ease and confidence, being comfortable living in their own "skin."
I think it helps, especially if your brand image depends on you as a person, or if your brand image is yourself and you make money off of it. The more you can get people to be fascinated by some physical aspect about you the more they will pay attention to you, negative or positive, but they are focused on you, either way.
Any other thoughts?

I think in general women should wear shorter skirts and show more cleavage.

I think dressing crazy and encouraging our audience to dress crazy was a huge part of our popularity..
we all dressd crazy
we had 1/2 price cover for crossdressers. Those shows were so fun!!, Crazy fun...
we had a Trash Fashion show where anyone who recycled household trash into an outfit got in free and we had an audience juried fashion show, the winner got a $50 gift certificate to a local record store..
these were hugely popular events... people talk about em still but no band around here has pulled anything like that off since...
I think dressing crazy was part of it, but encouraging the audience to do the same was really what made it take off.
eveyone really wants to get their freak on, the just need permission,,
