UNDERGROUND UNVEILED
UNDERGROUND
There is no doubt that the streetwear industry has been flourishing worldwide, especially in the last decade. Australia has been no different. Underground (UG), is Australia’s leading Facebook marketplace group focusing on the high end and designer clothing and footwear. On this page, one can buy, sell and trade high end, new and vintage sneakers and apparel. This includes anything from Rick Owens to Jordans and even Chanel to Cav Empt and more. This project rebrands UG, creating a once-in-a-lifetime streetwear event where one can buy, swap or sell. It will be an immersive museum/ market concept. Dismissing traditional rules of retail, the focus is to connect the audience with vendors, sponsors and influencers on a personal level.
UNDERGROUND RECOGNITION
Our recognition started to bloom early in 2017 with plenty of iconic Australian articles written about our UG family. Fast forward to 2020, after joining the masters program and applying the curriculum to rebrand, UG officially got published internationally. From GQ Middle East writing about us to having collaborations with Streetwear brands/organizations all over Asia.

OUR PLATFORMS
In 2020, Statista (2020) has calculated the revenue in the footwear industry to estimate around US$4 billion as the market is expected to grow annually at a 3.6% rate over the next few years. What was estimated to be valued at US$3 billion in 2012 will reach US$4.7 billion by the year 2025. Due to the modern generation, the resale demand has increased exponentially in the last few years. In fact, over the previous three years, the resell market has increased 21 times faster than the retail market (Bate,2019). Not only working on facebook and instagram, we also have a website where we post articles about fashion, lifestyle, art, tips and threads, for easy access location on our facebook page.
UNDERGROUND REACH
In the beginning of 2020, before design thinking was applied, the statistics ( as shown in the image on the left ) has increased by 53.52%. How this is done is by applying a fusion between Aristotles theory of Simple Apprehension and Jaques Derridas theory of Deconstruction. By making the experience immersive and deconstructed from a screen, the posts made were entertaining, authentic, and interactive which draws attention from the audience. From fitpics, quizzes, polls, and scandals, the news were fresh, and attractive to the audience.

EVENT POSTER
Posters can be powerful in creating excitement and interesting for any event Event posters incorporate different elements, some focus on text whilst others focus on imagery. For this event, the focus will be shifted to the interaction of the audience. Using the cohesive element of embroidery throughout the marketing and merch sold, the poster will be embroidered on tote bags and hidden all over Melbourne CBD at the sponsors location. Once the treasure hunt is completed, the participants that have found the tote bag not only will be able to keep it, but also get a free ticket after they have posted on the facebook page.
