The Polo Ralph Lauren x Wimbledon experience has been created in the Studio of Art & Commerce in celebration of the namesake tennis championship for travelers to enjoy this summer. The installation is situated in the heart of Heathrow Airport where it will stay for the duration of the tournament to let travelers try on some of the latest sunglasses from the collaboration. The installation makes use of the Magic Mirror, which will snap a photo of the consumer wearing their choice of sunglasses before blurring out the background to set them in various locations at Wimbledon.
CEO and Founder of the Studio of Art & Commerce Heide Cohu spoke on the Polo Ralph Lauren x Wimbledon experience saying, "Our aim was to provide a joyful moment of entertainment in people’s busy lives, magically transporting them to the heart of The Wimbledon Championships, at the AELTC, whilst in the middle of a busy airport terminal. A celebration of Ralph Lauren’s long-standing partnership with the Club.”
