DELIVERIES & VISUAL CONCEPTS
2 82
Currently our approach to consolidating established markets and conquering new segments of the worldwide fashion map is strengthened by an ultramodern philosophy, one that includes a coherent delivery schedule and targeted visual proposals to better support our wholesale clients. The Meltin’Pot commercial team has re-engineered our delivery plan according to retail logistics of the pre-season, in-between and advanced season calendars, putting it perfectly in line with seasonal conditions and the relative needs of the final consumer.
Additionally, today in-house visual merchandising experts are totally committed to designing a relevant and coherent shop-window setting for each and every delivery. Here the ultimate product styling of the Meltin’Pot total look is outlined in detail, facilitating the articulation of branddedicated displays to maximize image impact and sell-out potential.

INTERACTING
288
The future roots of the Meltin’Pot ICONS project are already grounded in the present unrolling of a massive image and communication strategy. Here, digital interaction serves as a dynamic and multi-directional platform to reach each and every member of our community.
This vision is strongly connected to our new advertising concept: like in the digital world, “we belong everywhere and nowhere. Our roots are inside us and we carry them wherever we go. We’re the new nomads and we embark on a journey looking for life and everything it has to offer.”
What at the beginning was considered simply a virtual dimension is now a real and open world, where we can share our vision and philosophy on a global level. We pay great attention to internet communication channels and up-andcoming new media - from the official Meltin’Pot website to social networks and the most influential blogs and webzines that approach both international trendsetters and final consumers in real time.
As part of this innovative direction, last season we’ve also fashioned a new Meltin’Pot logo: a recognizable font in a buzzing new visual world, inspired by big city newspapers and street signs, expressing boldness and selfconfidence.

ADVERTISING
292
In line with our brand personality and manifesto, our new advertising values lead us step by step into the official campaign, the start of a conversation. International, independent, provocative and passionate; it is about life, meeting different people and absorbing new styles. We’ve become storytellers of a new denim generation and contemporary culture, looking for life in all its variations, conflicts and imperfections. We’re the new nomads, the rebels of today, and we go where life takes us. In recent advertising, the concept has centered around a life-changing trip, inaugurated with a big party in s/s 2011 and then a road trip with the Meltin’Pot crew to the “Middle of Nowhere, Oklahoma” in f/w 20122013. The new s/s 2012 season brings the brand deep into the underground of Pirate Radio.
Creative rebels of today are invited on a musical ride, traveling the high seas and the world to inspire and to be inspired. Broadcasting live from the matino pirate radio boat, five young dj’s from five different cities come together to play with one of the original 1960’s dj’s from Radio Caroline, forging a link between the old radio generation and today’s online revolution. We still see life as an amazing journey to Nowhere. Because the journey itself is what makes life interesting.
