Christina Dernier Cri which means the latest in fashion in French. We brought that to life through our logo which flows through to our atmospherics, and merchandise.
Sydney For two of our operational signs we did a Return Policy & Procedures sign and a Store Hours sign. By having a Return Policy & Procedures sign we are displaying our policy to our customers so they have no questions about what we will or will not accept as a return. By displaying our Store Hours, customers will know when our store will open for them to come and shop.
Sydney Then men and women signs are 2 more operational signs which will be hung from the ceiling to designate the men and women areas for footwear in the store.
Sydney Our conversational sign comes from our mission statement. It gives the same meaning, The love of fashion and the people who love fashion.
Sydney For our design element window we had vertical line in the big window. Our theme for the window was “Get Runway Ready with Dernier Cri”. We used vertical lines with the mirrors on the wall and the runway. Also by using more formal clothing we still used the element vertical line.
Sydney For our trend window, we used the Metallic trend for Spring/Summer 2010. Our theme of the window is “Splatter Your Sole” We showed this by splattering metallic paints on the mannequins overalls, the wall painting, and the many different props used.
Sydney Dernier Cri uses a minimal floor plan. This is achieved by placing the majority of the product on shelving along the walls with very few tables placed around the store. This design is used to create a certain ambiance of a higher class store while remaining in the moderately priced bracket.
Sydney This is our minimal floor plan with shelving along the walls, two seating areas, the cash wrap in the center, and two tables in the front of the store to showcase special merchandise.
Cierra The cube lighting seats are different and very modern, they provide lighting as well as a place to sit and have round glass tables in the middle of each seating area for placement of various items while you try on the merchandise. The shelving that is placed along the walls are eye catching and have an effective way of merchandising the products. The tables add just enough pop at the entrance and provide plenty of storage for various items. The L-shaped cash wrap is black granite topped and placed in the center of the store.

Cierra Describe lighting fixtures.
Cierra Silver, movable, male and female, full body mannequins were chosen to capture the customer’s attention. The mannequins will be featured not only in both window displays, but also will be utilized to bring to life the latest trends in footwear. The mannequins will sometimes be clothed, but other times, just wearing footwear. Also, the mannequins will be posed in positions that draw attention to the shoes. Full body mannequins hold more true with Dernier Cri’s design aesthetic, which is why they were chosen opposed to mannequin alternatives for footwear.
Cierra Describe mannequins and uses.
Cierra Walls will be the primary display for our merchandise. The wall elevation for all 3 walls includes the shelving with different merchandise on each level.
