The ground floor welcomes the public and offers a wide variety of community interaction, from its on site local thrift shop to it self sufficient bakery. Bakehouse is a bakery cafe with a difference, you’ll find no menu boards or condiment stands. Instead you’ll have to interact with the resident working at the bakery counter in order to learn what they have to offer and the different price points.

DECONSTRUCTION This concept proposes to deconstruct the outlandish fashion styles observed upon the catwalk and use the forms found to display the fashion itself.
and the people who shop there, whether you want to conform and follow a trend or strike out as an individual there is something in it’s fashion range for everyone.
The scheme intends to take Topshop into the future whilst still incorporating the elements it is best known for. Researching into fashion trend forecasting and the future within fashion itself I have promoted a cosmic concept throughout the space. Cosmic is defined as relating to the universe or cosmos, especially as distinct from the earth and relatable to Topshop
Together, the elegant design, interspersion of mirrored/ reflective surfaces and the light orchestration an illusive type of experience is created for the customers, which is one not to be forgotten. An experience out of this world.

JUXTAPOSITION: PREMIUM VS MARKETPLACE The concept for my NYC store was to create two very different floors and represent the many different people that form the brand that is ASOS. The ground floor sees ASOS’s pioneering catwalk displays come to life and encourages the experience of your very own catwalk among the minimalistic high branded fashion. While the basement floor takes on the role of ASOS Marketplace and becomes an urban backstage “Access all ASOS” area, exchange your clothes, find inspirations and be immersed! Navigate your way through the store to a communal changing room and network in a way equal with social media. My store recognises that ASOS is the people that wear it and offers experiences that embrace this factor.
