VOLUTION
eVolution
Apparel store new experience
The space for connecting, entertaining, creating relationships and getting an experience, for meeting with yourself, understanding who you are, and how you want to express yourself though your outlook.
It’s the gallery for the brand, theater for fashion, customized atelier and jewelry bar, restaurant and public spaces with personal services and assistance.
Hybrid on-line and in-store experience with implementation and development of new technologies.
The new world of fashion retail experience that focuses on:
• Data
• Experience
• Sustainability (Less is more)
• Personalization
• Digitalization
• Simplification (Slow fashion)
IDEA DECISION LOUNGE
DIGITAL MIRROR FITTING ROOM
The space leads Guests through the experience naturally and smoothly, elliptical like the circle of Life. Soft light, shadow, mysterious atmosphere arouse the feeling of connection with yourself. Guests get the understanding of what they need.
Here is no place for fast fashion, it doesn’t fit here, it’s about self understanding, motion, development. The space motivates Guests to make their decisions thoughtfully and to respect their values and their clothes.
