Brief One

Concept

A unique retail experience called Threads aimed at 12 to 24 year olds.  The experience will be a retail space which curates brands in the same way Urban Outfitters does however it will also incorporate subcultural threads and links including music, video and a social area to share their own ‘Threads’ The space will take advantage of new technology including chips in clothes which activate interactive mirrors and also Smart Phones.  The aim is the educate yong people to the significant cultural heritage which exists behind brands and ecourage them to share their own styles and stories.  In doing so it will subtley point to brands which have fake back stories such as Hollister by not including them in the arrange.  The aim would be to create a ‘teen range’ which will be cheaper then the adult sized counterparts.

Outcomes Bags, tags, signs, mockups of proposed interactive design, tshirts, infographic timeline of the links across time, four subcultures and ten brands.

The subcultures are Mod, Skinheads, Punks and Casuals.

The brands include Doc Martens, Fred Perry, Baracuta, Farah, Ben Sherman, Stone Island,  Gabicci,  Adidas, Lacoste, Vivian Westwood/ Newer brands weekend Offender, Pretty Green which are based on this culture ?  Maybe a record label or Ministry of Sound?  Stiff records?
