The purpose of this book is to portray a conceptualised outcome of this collaboration campaign between DSM and Chanel. This book outlines an in-store campaign within Dover Street Market aimed at a Gen Z consumer meeting my concept of creating a new emotional connection between luxury brands and younger consumers. This book is presented in a look book format that would also be used to market this collaboration within Dover Street Market, acting as a keepsake and promotional tool.

PLACE

This campaign will be promoted within Dover Street Market in

London. This side of the campaign will focus on the experience gained from within the store. Dover Street is known for its curation of spaces and installations, something this campaign will not overlook. As is the CDG way, volume, shape and texture is extremely important to this install making it recognisable yet intriguing. The installation for this collaboration will rest on influences from Chanel’s want to sell instore only and the streetwear influence in this collaboration.

This pop up will be available for a short amount of time for example 4 weeks, to allow enough desire to form due to its limited time, however enough time for many people to view it increasing reach.

GUERILLA MARKETING This collaboration will also be promoted via posters and other subtle marketing.

Posters placed in unusual areas and cultural hubs will capture attention of Gen Z and hence will stir their imagination as to what the collaboration is. This has been successful for other streetwear brands such as Supreme placing posters on bins, tube stations and walls around hubs in London. Moreover, given Dover Streets secluded nature out of the hustle and bustle of the main London streets, this subtle marketing matches their brand well bringing in those of similar philosophy and 38

interests.

LOOKBOOK This collaboration would also be promoted via a look book that would be sold in-store telling the story of the collaboration. This has proven a popular method of promotion to Dover Street Market in the past with brands such as Vetements and Gosha Rubchinskiy releasing limited edition look books that created queues down the street of customers hoping to buy a copy. Despite the love of social media this generation has, having a keepsake or take-away is still crucial to them in affirming their relationship with a brand so books are perfect way of expressing a collaboration curation in a new format.

FUTURE

This campaign also has the opportunity to future proof, with this pop up moving to the other DSM stores around the globe to encourage global engagement with Chanel or this pop up could extend into a full-time space for Chanel in Dover Street. This would give Chanel the opportunity to have a permanent residence where consumers can interact with the brand furthermore, the renewal of installations twice a year would allow Chanel to change and bring something new and exciting to consumers following this concepts methodology.
