B.La’Cole Having big chest and is a very frustrating thing, especially when you want to have decent swim wear that does not expose everything God gave you. The market for conservative swim wear is slim to none. Women are not supported in the right way for their figure, and are honestly falling out everywhere with the swim wear offered today in stores. Let’s be honest, XL does NOT fit true to size, us big chest women need more than that. If we go to the plus size stores the cup size of the swim top fits, but the waist is huge on us (no offense to the plus size women). What about the women who have voluptuous chest but are small in the waist?
MY CUSTOMER -Ages 18 to 35 -Loves being bold, but also appreciates the simple pieces, and loves detail that designers incorporate in their collections. -She is a lady who has been very blessed in certain areas, so she is looking for pieces that compliments her blessings, not exposes them. -She is confident, bold, smart, and loves her swimsuits that give her full coverage. -Punksheek Swimwear customer loves quality, and does not mind spending a bit more to receive that. She is always on the go, and needs versatile pieces to mix & match while she is out of town.

JUICY COUTURE RE-BRANDING & POP UP SHOP
M E N T
PROJECT
We at Juicy Couture, have developed a strategic initiative, a pop up shop in the city of LA. Through the use of different marketing & advertising, new products and a temporary location- we are offering current and potential customers in Los Angeles, CA and around the world, the chance to engage all five senses in a pop up shop. This initiative addresses our need to put Juicy Couture back on the map as one of the worlds best brands. Currently there are zero physical stores, and very little engagement on social media platforms or traditional advertisements, and this is a missed opportunity and if not corrected, it could make Juicy Couture a brand of the past and not the future.
Initiative [Re-embedding Juicy Couture in their LA heritage]
Image Source: LA City
Our initiative will be in Los Angeles, CA (90028), during the month(s) February-March. We chose this location, to keep Juicy Couture in their LA heritage that it was founded on.
LA is the most populous city in the U.S. state of California and the secondmost populous in the United States, after New York City, with a population at the 2010 United States Census of 3,792,621.

February
1,2015-March 31,2015,in the 90028 zip code in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is where Juicy Couture got its start as a company,therefore, we think that it is appropriate to make this the starting point for rebranding Juicy Couture. Our shop will be right on the Hollywood Blvd strip, that is known for it’s high foot traffic(80,000-95,000 DAILY) 365 days a year. It will be open during the time of the Oscars.
Size of Retail Market Number of apparel retail establishments in Los Angeles: 5,273 Number of women’s apparel establishments in Los Angeles:1,322 Apparel retail sales in Los Angeles: $178.1 million Women’s apparel retail sales in Los Angeles: $41.3 million

LOCATION
Since our location is in a tourist spot (Hollywood Blvd.), we will not only have the locals shop at our pop up shop, but also we will have people from all over the world. The Oscars brings in people not only from the United States, but from international places as well. We pinpointed where our main consumer will come from in the United States, and gave lifestyle & behavior traits of each one.
POP UP SHOP
Located at 6650 hollywood blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028. The building we are using for our pop up shop is called Shane Building (1930). It is a Art Deco design by S. Tilden Norton (1877-1959) and F.H. Wallis -- The building was first home of the Directors Guild of America -- also known as the Hirshfield Building when Hirshfield Apparel occupied it. It is 4,000 square feet, and can hold up to 800 people at one time. This building is perfect for our pop up shop, because of it’s location, size, and structure.

We would like to create a fun,high energy shopping environment for our customer. In order to do this, we will have exciting music, our store will be dimly lit, and we will utilize neon light tubes throughout the space. We have used lighting and trendy fixtures to create a hip yet edgy atmosphere for our customers. Our store will have an open layout allowing our customers to be able to walk freely through our space in order to select merchandise. The store’e ambiance will appeal to the sense of smell by utilizing aromatherapy. Juicy Couture’s Viva la Juicy Noir fragrance will be the store’s signature scent.
Floor Plan
The Juicy Couture pop up shop has an open floor plan that allows the customer to move around the store without any interruptions. There are six mannequins, six dressing rooms, and two seating areas in the store. The merchandise is arranged in a grid formation to allow customers to be able to find the products with ease. Our merchandise is set up to allow the customer to be able to put together an outfit themselves. It also allows the sales associates to be able to
find merchandise for customers quickly.

Products
For our initiative, we wanted to give Juicy Couture a different look for their products, to cater to their location, and still have the edgy look they are now marketing. We included bold colors, as well as neutrals, and one print, several pieces that are versatile, and can be taken from day to night for our customer. Our price points are lower, and more reasonable for the customer of Juicy Couture.

ACCENT MAGAZINE: SPIES
PROJECT
The theme of this shoot was based off of a femme fatale. A spy. A woman who has the ability to transform herself and become anyone she wishes to be. The straightforward definition of a femme fatale is a mysterious woman.our model, megan. The emotions we wanted to evoke from the photographs were covert, secretive, mystical, coquetteish, enticing, and edgy. From beginning to end, this shoot proved to be a success. She has the ability to charm and ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistable charm, desire, and lust. She leads them into compromising, often dangerous and deadly situations. We took this concept and ran with it. I was in charge of the styling and makeup looks for the model. We enlisted the talented Stephan bauer to photograph our model, megan. The emotions we wanted to evoke from the photographs were covert, secretive, mystical, coquetteish, enticing, and edgy. From beginning to end, this shoot proved to be a success.
