    Hi Guys, maybe missing the obvious here but I would like to create a diynamic navigation based on two sets of categories for a store - first split in to item category and then in to brand category, for example I have these categories for item:

    Bags & Wallets
    Cosmetics
    Hair Flowers
    Hair Products
    Semi Permanent Hair Dye
    Sunglasses

    And then these brand categories:

    Bésame Cosmetics
    La Riche Directions
    La Riche Hair Products
    Lux De Ville
    Tres Noir
    Voodoo Blooms

    Firstly, what would be the best method to assign two categories to each item, ie item and brand and then how would be best to call in the nav dynamically, and seperately for example one set dependent on category type? So if new categories are added in the future the nav will auto update..

    <ul>
    <li>Item Category 1</li>
    <li>Item Category 2</li>
    <li>Item Category 3</li>
    <li>Item Category 4</li>
    <li>Item Category 5</li>
    <li>Item Category 6</li>
    </ul>

    and then another for brand category

    <ul>
    <li>Brand Category 1</li>
    <li>Brand Category 2</li>
    <li>Brand Category 3</li>
    <li>Brand Category 4</li>
    <li>Brand Category 5</li>
    <li>Brand Category 6</li>
    </ul>

    I maybe overthinking the solution so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
