Gensler led prAna down a path that straddles a Fabrication Coordination fine line between the organic and the sophisticated. Using prAna’s tagline, “Born from the Experience,” as inspiration Gensler created an environment that understands the company’s mission and uses recycled and natural materials to display the products inspired from world travels and curiosity. Gensler used readily available knotted hemp rope as walls to surround the booth and provide a semi-permeable glimpse into the space while providing a sense of calm and quiet inside. The designers went so far as to block out the sodium vapor lighting hanging above the booth to soften interior light. The booth entrance sidewall is actually a 40-foot shipping container split in half. It serves as a background for a display platform and as a perch for the company’s cause partners to present their programs. prAna’s point of view is embedded in unexpected places, for example, paper maché mannequins are covered in prAna messages, while plywood planes are covered in takeaway collateral organized like bee swarms. Pinwheel clusters provide stages for the clothing collections, and allow them to present to 300 exhibit attendees at one time. The materials palette emphasizes protection of natural resources over recycled content;the palette minimizes the amount of additive materials and focuses on raw materials for the finishes. This straightforward approach to materials compliments prAna’s commitment to the environment. With a presentation design three times the size of their previous booth, prAna’s presence at this summer’s Outdoor Retail tradeshow catapulted them to the forefront amongst the industry’s most established brands. Gensler’s bold design embodied prAna’s philosophy while enabling their entire apparel line to be displayed in a true expression of the brand. 10 | Gensler | Retail 11 | Gensler | Retail prAna Retail Stores Multiple Locations, USA 6,000 avg. sf Services provided prAna, a leading active lifestyle apparel manufacturer opened Fixture Design its first retail stores in Boulder, CO and Santa Clara, CA in Prototype Design 2007.

The store’s façade incorporates visual cues of earthen strata, thick forest canopies, and a towering pinnacle. REI’s commitment to reduce its environmental footprint is translated through the store design in the use of green materials and building techniques including an aggressive daylight harvesting system that will reduce the store’s energy consumption and allow for more natural daylight in to the store. By utilizing Solatubes, throughout the store, and a centrally located glass atrium skylight the building will save approximately 20% in its energy costs, the annual equivalent of powering up to three houses. Additionally, the building captures the sun’s energy to power the store through technology called building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)., a first of its kind in a retail environment. Other

  • A Teaching Innovation on Retail Environmental Design for Consumers with Disabilities
    A Teaching Innovation on Retail Environmental Design for Consumers with Disabilities Meng-Hsien (Jenny) Lin, William J. Jones, and Akshaya Vijayalakshmi Purpose of Study: A teaching innovation that bridges the gap identified in current retailing textbooks, which pay minimal attention to serving consumers with disabilities in the marketplace, is proposed and assessed. This retail class project considers not only the legal and profit benefits for the firm, but also the inclusion and sense of normalcy for a consumer from a societal marketing perspective. Method/Design and Sample: Forty-one students working on the retail project were invited to participate in a pre- and post- test survey that investigates 1) their knowledge of disability regulations and accommodations required of retail outlets and 2) the usefulness of the project in advancing their careers and academic learning. In addition to the use of a “cognitive walkthrough” method of data collection for the class project, students were introduced to the concepts and model of servicescape and consumer normalcy in preparation for the project. Results: Results indicated that learning objectives were met and student expectations were achieved through the implementation of the retail project. Value to Marketing Educators: The implications of considering consumers with disabilities in retail environmental design includes: the physical needs of adapting to consumers with disabilities and the psychological need of consumers wanting to be included and perceived as “normal.” The innovation extends students’ learning about consumers with disabilities while reinforcing traditional retail concepts, such as store layout, visual merchandising, consumer behavior, and the notion of a servicescape. The project is adaptable to various marketing courses.

Kennedy 6 – Parma - 43125, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 14, 2019 Accepted: June 20, 2019 Online Published: August 5, 2019 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v14n9p123 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ijbm.v14n9p123 Abstract About thirty-five years ago the trend of investing in flagship stores in the fashion and luxury sectors started, and has not stopped even since the last economic crisis. Recently, flagship stores have expanded into new sectors. There is an increased interest in flagship stores; but until now, they have received little attention in academic research. Published papers are mainly related to the fields of luxury shopping and internationalization studies. Nowadays, the term “flagship store” is ambiguous; it has different meanings. A flagship brand store is, in general terms, the most important, expensive, and representative store of the brand. It has to show the full range of products and services offered. Usually it is the largest store, in the most prestigious location, and adopts original store design solutions; they offer new facilities, and a very high service level. Moreover, flagship designers are famous and prestigious architects; (“Signature” architects, or “Archistars”) and the aim is to create iconic buildings.

  • Slow Fashion + Retail Design: Designing Experiences to Influence Sustainable Consumers Behaviors
    Slow Fashion + Retail Design: Designing experiences to influence sustainable consumers behaviors Rebekah L. Matheny The Ohio State University, USA [email protected] Abstract Driven by increased demands for ethical responsibility towards environmental and social sustainability by Millennials and GenZ, the design and purpose of apparel retail stores is transforming. These generations demand authentic and transparent retail storytelling to create a connection between their beliefs and the value they place on the products they purchase. Kate Fletcher, who introduced the concept of slow fashion, states: “Sustainable fashion is about a strong and nurturing relationship between consumer and producer” (Fletcher, 2008/2014). The retail store environment is a critical link in establishing this relationship. However, many slow fashion retailers lack elements within their store design to foster this relationship, missing an opportunity to communicate their sustainable story through the physical space where consumers experience fashion. Therefore, we must broaden slow fashion’s reach, extending into the design of the physical retail environment, and establishing slow retail experiences. Utilizing Fletcher and Grose’s principles of transforming slow fashion, this paper presents four slow fashion retail case studies, examining the spatial elements necessary to foster stronger relationships between consumer and producer. The case studies examine how retail store designs successfully apply design elements through physical, human, and digital touchpoints to use the store as an educator on sustainable apparel practices. Serving as guiding examples, these case studies illustrate how other sustainable fashion retailers can leverage storytelling elements within their own retail environments. Retailers and designers can use the examples presented to better connect, communicate, and educate their customers on their brand's core sustainable values to encourage changing behaviors.

  • Lifestyles As Destination: Retail Design Today
    NEW YORK CITY Home About FGI Membership Lounge Events Trends Professional Careers Student Center Archives Partners Lifestyles as Destination: Retail Design Today Given the increasing competition of today’s fashion market, the luxury fashion store has become as important an identity statement for the fashion designer as the collection itself. by Kenne Shepherd Leading fashion houses today are racing to create spectacular new stores that offer their customers a 'total lifestyle' experience. Stores that not only showcase the designers' collection, but are an architec- tural expression of that collection. Given the increasing competition of today's fashion market, the luxury fashion store has become as important an identity statement for the fashion designer as the collection itself. It is an extension of a unified worldwide fashion image, in a world where image is the lifeblood of the industry. Today's new retail environments are the most powerful display of identity that the fashion retailer has at its disposal. Through the experience it offers its customer, the fashion store breathes life into the design- er's work and the lifestyle it defines. It is the retail environment that provides a three-dimensional back- drop and enclosure for the merchandise while creating opportunities for exciting visuals and dramatic vistas that draw the customer through the store arousing curiosity, interest and excitement with the ultimate goal that the customer "buys in" to the designer's lifestyle. Fashion is about change, yet staying true to the brand image. The genius of designers like Calvin Klein, Prada, and Gucci is their ability to remain true to their vision while interpreting it in new and modern ways that define not just today's lifestyle, but tomor- row's lifestyle as well.

Violators will be prosecuted. 1 1 Chapter One Why Do We Display? 1.1 AFTER YOU HAVE READ THIS CHAPTER, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DISCUSS ♦ the definition of visual merchandising ♦ the concept of store image and its relationship to visual merchandising and display ♦ the purposes of visual merchandising 1 We show in order to sell. Display or visual merchandising is showing merchandise and concepts at their very best, with the 2 end purpose of making a sale. We may not actually sell the object displayed or the idea promoted, but we do attempt to convince the viewer of the value of the object, the store promoting the object, or the organization behind the concept. Although a cash register may not ring because of a particular display, that display should make an impression on the viewer that will affect future sales. The display person used to be the purveyor of dreams and fantasies, presenting merchandise in settings that stirred the imagination and promoted fantastic flights to unattainable heights. Today's display person, however, sells a “reality.” Today's shopper can be whatever he or she wants to be by simply wearing garments with certain labels that have a built-in status. The display person dresses a mannequin (possessing a perfect figure) in skin-tight jeans, flashes the lights, adds the adoring males or females, and reinforces the image of sexuality and devastating attractiveness that is part of the prominent name on the label.
