As at home in the omni-channel world as it once was in its humble drapers shop the retailer goes from strength to strength breaking commercial thresholds and competitors hearts. To celebrate with style the flagship London store is bedecked in banners from head to toe, with exclusive products, special collaborations and limited edition bags in pastel blues, aqua greens and orange hues.

This store has a story to tell and the windows give a running commentary, a chronological dialogue to the events and innovations that have shaped the retailer from the 1860s. But this is not just some happy ending, but an ongoing saga, no overnight sensation but a timeless tale where the demons of downturns, the spectres of recession are vanquished and repelled, and where “once upon a time” turns always into “happy ever after.”

Breaking the Mould: Camper’s Creative Footprint

Original DNA, the USP of Camper, pervades every inch of the customers’ experience, maximising every foot with fun and flamboyance.

 

camper-wall-of-fame

Step into Serrano to see the retailer cleverly communicate both democracy of choice as well as the celebration of the individual that earmarks the timeless Pelotas, the ingenious Twins, as milestones on Camper’s road to genuine uniqueness.

The stores walls house a thousand monochrome moulds where colour, texture and shape homogenise into a senseless setting, against which the detail, design and vibrant personality of this seasons sellers scream for attention amidst the silence.  The parade is complete with a stand-off between today’s table displays and the whitewashed walls of yesteryear.

A sensation for the senses where Camper creates a tantalising tension between its footwear physiologies.

“To B or not to B: That is the Beckham”

Coincidence or Capital Investment, David Beckham’s collaborations seem set to conquer everything that stands for “B” in beautiful.

A stroll around the billboards, a flick through the magazines, will easily reveal the familiar face, fronting fashionable brands such as Breitling, Belstaff and the iconic British Bentley.

True the superstar shares admirable qualities with these benchmark brands. Timeless style, sartorial elegance, intrinsic quality and unique craftsmanship are all expressions that effortlessly cross the touch lines of watch making, engineering, tailoring and have occasionally been used to embellish the reputation of one of the world’s greatest soccer stars, or glamour superstars depending which side of the celebrity fence you sit.

One thing for sure, that teamwork always wins out over the performance of a single solo display, and the fancy foot work that engineered this happy band shows no sign yet of letting in any cheap goals.
