Miss Selfridge, through its inception in the 60’s, has
become Britain’s leading mass young fashion label on the
High Street with its “Fun, Funky, Quirky, Stimulating, Exciting”
key characteristics. Riding on its success, the brand’s
character and style are now repositioned to become even more distinctive,
individualized, feminine and sassy. Not aimed at the mass market
and being a boutique brand targeting shoppers whose average age
is 24, Miss Selfridge works hard for its customers, ensuring it
is giving them something different. Whether it is using designs
from vintage print collections, sourcing its cloth from Rajasthan
and Russia, or using its own graphic design team to create unique
prints, Miss Selfridge take its inspiration from a variety of
sources.
Apart from the change in the style of clothes, the overall look
is also different. Gone are the pink hearts, which was used in
the logo previously, it has reverted to the original 1960s font
for the logo. “These may be just small details, but it changes
the look and feel. We’re more grown up and we’ve added
more designers. What we’re doing is going back to where
it all started, but contemporizing it”, says Sim Scavazza,
Head of Design, Miss Selfridge.
