"I don't care about famous brands" ←
ブランド名は特に気に入らない。（気にしてない)
The meaning of the above is rather different than
"I don't have a preference when it comes to brands."
ブランド名の中で特に好きなブランドはありません。
"I have a preference" = 「特に好きな～～がある」
You could use "prefer" instead, which makes it a little closer in meaning:
"I don't really prefer name brands."
"prefer" = 「～の方が好き」

They have different meanings.
"I don't care about famous brands" expresses disdain for expensive brand-name clothing.
"I don't have any preference in brands" might mean you appreciate quality but don't care which expensive brand you buy.

No. "Especially" and "preference mean basically the same thing in this context. No need to state it twice.
"I like famous brands, especially Gucci."
