LUCKY MAGAZINE Style Spotter Market: Washington, D.C. and Boston, MA Overview: TH designed and produced a special event series with Lucky Magazine and French Connection. The Style Spotter event series brought the latest fashion trends from French Connection to the students at George Washington University Campus and Boston University, with a pop-up store, photo studio and lounge. Students were invited in to experience the brand, find the clothes that fit their individual style and be professionally photographed in their new digs. Photos captured were immediately uploaded to Lucky s website. Results: I was beyond impressed by the TH team at the French Connection Lucky Style Spotter events both events were executed flawlessly from beginning to end. Even just the selection of schools and venues on campus were spot on, and the use of resources to promote this was fantastic. In terms of onsite execution, it was so exciting to see a crazy idea of creating a photo shoot and pop-up shop on a college campus actually come to life and run so smoothly. Every element was well thought out and anticipated, and the staff really worked hard the whole time to keep the flow and energy level up for attendees. -Rebecca Bradley Fashion Merchandising Director Lucky Magazine
