Event Background
In August 2019, UNIQLO held its 2019 Fall/Winter collection launch at its global flagship store on Huaihai Road in Shanghai, marking the second consecutive season for an in-store preview event. As the event planning and execution partner, Towin PR was fully involved in the preparation and implementation of this brand launch, ensuring a smooth presentation.
Key Highlights
Themed 'Boundary-Free Life Aesthetics Derived from Functionality,' the event featured a performance by the NSO Shanghai International Youth Symphony Orchestra and a runway show, with global brand ambassador Ni Ni in attendance. Breaking away from traditional concert hall settings, the symphony orchestra was brought into the store, embodying the 'New Life Aesthetics' concept. The runway show was defined as a 'Life Art Show,' where models demonstrated transitions between different scenarios—such as sports and casual wear—by adding or removing items, and showcased multiple sets of couple looks, best-friend outfits, and family matching sets.
