A jaw-to-the-floor retail debut
When it comes to pairing the latest trends with a generous helping of sass, Missguided is every girl's online go-to. With plans to transform from a hugely successful online retailer to global leader in rapid fashion, Missguided’s debut into physical retail needed to make an impact and take the brand from URL to IRL.
We created a uniquely Instagrammable, playful and unexpected store experience that’s constantly transforming, always different and never boring. Breaking the rules of conventional high street retail, the space immerses shoppers in the spirit of the Missguided brand – fearless, fun and self-expressive.
Our ‘On Air’ store concept was defined to be a live, experiential version of Missguided’s online presence. It brings social media to an interactive, physical space, creating a platform for the 16-35 year-old target customer. Inspired by a TV studio, the space delivers a dynamic live stream of of-the-moment content, fashion and inspiration.
Fitting rooms are brought to the front of the store, recasting this area as an interactive lounge space complete with emojis and tongue-in-cheek signage to reflect the brand's playful personality.
Bespoke mannequins come in the form of mermaids, unicorns and ‘It girl’ models. Expressive signage includes a huge glossy fun-fair influenced dollar sign by the cash desks and reactive cinema-style lightboxes that demand attention.
Floor-to-ceiling digital screens play the brand’s award-winning campaigns and feature customer-generated content curated by the brand, putting shoppers in the spotlight under the hashtag #babesofmissguided.
“ Social is huge for us, so this will be a prominent feature throughout the stores, and we will promote interaction with our customers as well as use the store as an opportunity to attract new customers who wouldn't necessarily shop with us online.” Nitin Passi
