This environment will most likely be located within the Topshop on Oxford Street in London. Topshop is the ideal place for the pop-up shop for several different reasons.

Second, Topshop attracts consumers that are interested in the kind of aesthetic Shrimps has because it carries brands with parallel aesthetics.

PEOPLE
Lily-Rose Depp is the chosen brand ambassador for Shrimps. We feel that Lily-Rose encompasses the very essence of Shrimps. She is young, beautiful, takes fashion risks, and is internationally established. She is an already very successful model, currently she is the face of Chanel. Lily-Rose is a rising actress as well, starring alongside Natalie Portman in the French-Belgian film Planetarium. Due to her young age (17) and already up and coming career, we feel that she will be able to reach many girls and women across the globe.
Not to mention she has a MASSIVE social media following on her insta. Thus furthering her impact on millenials and the generation to come.
