How to organize categories

  • Hi all
    I am working on a project for a client, and I am not sure how to organize the product categories. I hope you guys can help me ??

    The webshop is selling very vintage clothes. They want three basic categories with some sub cats;
    Women
    -Denim
    -Sports
    -Velvet
    Men
    -Denim
    -Sports
    Brands
    -Adidas
    -Converse
    -Nike
    -Reebok
    (and so on…)

    Then they want to be able to add product to categories like
    -Blouses & Tops
    -Skirts & Dresses
    -T-shirts & Polos
    -Shoes & Belts
    -Hats & Beanies

    And this is where I am stuck! Do I create one set of the above categories and add products from across the other categories or do I create these categories as subcategories for each of the other subcats:?
    Women
    -Denim
    -Sports
    -Velvet
    Men
    -Denim
    -Sports

    If the ladder, then I think that the selection of categories when creating new products will be a totally unstructured mess… It would leave the one creating products to choose from 5 different Blouses & Tops within both WOmens and Mens.

    I really want the first solution to be possible, but I don’t know how products will be presented…

    I hope you guys are able to understand my explanation and that some of you can give me some advice ??

    Cheers,
    Peter

    Brands, colors and type (sport, elegant) can be atributes.
    The big category can be “women” and “men”.

    Women
    – Blouses & Tops
    – Skirts & Dresses
    -T-shirts & Polos
    …

    Men
    – T-shirts & Polos
    – ….
