These experiential fashion retail innovations reject traditional marketing strategies. The concepts leave a lasting impression on their consumers and feature new and unique ways of promoting the latest products.
From art gallery retailers to virtual window shopping apps, fashion is no longer only limited to in-store and online purchases. Examples of memorable fashion retail concepts include Gap's crowd-sourced playlist campaign that allowed San Francisco shoppers to choose in-store music as well as designer Henry Holland's custom ice cream truck that sold confection-themed products and accessories under his House of Holland label.
Another great example includes Lens Crafters' in-store photo shoots by advertising agency Ogilvy that allow consumers to transform into cover-stars. These and other experiential fashion retail innovations are growing in popularity and are rapidly replacing traditional marketing schemes.
