Objective: Create a fashion-forward concept store to elevate a UK high street brand to ‘Vogue cover’ status.

Warehouse has been a staple of the British high-street for over 40 years. In that time London’s retail design landscape and customer shopping habits have changed dramatically. Embarking on a full-scale brand transformation, the UK fashion retailer onboarded creative consultant Alasdhair Willis to a develop a new strategic brand direction, alongside Emma Cook, a critically acclaimed British LFW designer to revitalise their fashion proposition. The idea was not to alienate Warehouse’s existing customer with a complete reinvention – but to reimagine their house design codes, brand positioning and marketing image to broaden their appeal and relevance.

As part of this exciting brand transformation, we were brought in to bring the new Warehouse brand vision to life with a one-off, brand-building fashion concept store design to relaunch them to the world. Inspired by their new brand positioning - ‘curate the city’ - we devised a creative retail interior design concept that reflects British fashion culture and the creative energy of London’s most stylish neighbourhoods – Carnaby Street, Covent Garden and Shoreditch. Putting this brand back on the map with a unique fashion concept store design that spoke to London's illustrious style scene.

A new high-street style destination in London

Sophisticated, yet slightly eccentric. Gritty yet style-conscious. Our fashion concept store design featured a creative retail interior design rich with collisions of clashing prints, urban materials and contrasting textures. A unique brand experience design, unveiling their new brand identity and inviting people to experience the brand’s new direction and shop their new collection of wardrobe staples - that can be mixed and matched to suit your individual style. A high-street style destination where fashion editors, style mavericks and influencers go to create their next fashion moment.
