RE-BRAND
The New Branding for David Nieper keeps the use of monograms, further developing it into something more current and fresh. The original design font is very classic and from a font family that is often associated with older people and brands. Although David Nieper is a clothing brand for mature women, we’re moving into a time where people don’t want to be defined by their age, but by their style and lifestyle. Therefore it is important that the branding reflects this.

THE CONSUMER
FLAT AGERS
Flat-agers are totally changing the way people live their lives past 60. This generation think very differently about money rather than previous generations did. They have it, and they like to spend it. 50% of over 50’s control almost 75% of the UK’s wealth. These Flat-agers like to spend their money on the pleasures in life. They haven’t given up on life past retirement, instead they want to experience the exotic and the rare in style.
LINDA RODIN
At 65, Linda describes her style as classically simple with a twist. She likes the ability to mix up her look – to be eclectic. Caring more about the comfort of clothes and how she feels than if something is on trend. As an avid collector she looks for treasures wherever she travels, saving them as past memories. Travel is the only thing one can spend money on to en richer experience. An older woman who exudes style, class, elegance and a hunger for culture regardless of her age, she is the perfect Nieper woman - the muse for this 7 collection.

LOOKBOOK SHOOT
Lookbooks will be shot in a variety of holiday locations. These will be locations around the Caribbean and Mediterranean, as these are hot spots for cruises. Each month a new Lookbook and location will be released online and these images will lead to the specific pieces. Creative direction and styling inspiration for these shoots comes from Vogue’s Brazils Cigana Do High Shoot in April 2014, styled and edited by Viviana Volpicella.

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY Flat-agers have an interest in adventure and discovery. This Cruise Collection focuses more on the adventure off the boat that the actual journey. In order to get the most out of voyages not only is it vital to be an adventurer but also to have some knowledge of where and what to visit, in order to get the most out of the experience. We propose collaboration for David Nieper with The Lonely Planet Guide books, the perfect travel companion. This would work by creating each Lookbook (as mentioned before) in a different location per month endorsing the top places to visit, as suggested by Lonely Planet. Each customer who buys from the Cruise Collection will receive a Lonely Planet Guide book with their purchase. This will benefit Davis Nieper as it builds a relationship with the consumer, creating consumer loyalty that brings the consumer back time and time again. Not only will this increase sales but also, through word of mouth, create further brand awareness in turn increasing its number of consumers. In this way we aim for David Nieper to stand 15 strong in British design and be the port of call for stylish women who have the money to experience their expeditions in luxury, comfort and style.
