The proposed architectural project in Oxford Street offers an innovative solution for small brands navigating a challenging retail landscape. It aims to create a collaborative cluster at the heart of Oxford Street, catering to the growing trend of experiential retail that goes beyond product acquisition. This project provides essential resources and networking opportunities for young designers, empowering them to establish their brands successfully. At the core of this endeavour is the Collaborative Fashion Cluster, a dedicated platform where small brands can share their knowledge, showcase, and sell their unique clothing pieces to the public through Fashion Galleries. These dynamic spaces not only serve as display areas but also foster creativity, collaboration, and the cross-pollination of ideas among designers. By encouraging meaningful collaborations and interactions, this initiative creates a vibrant and diverse fashion ecosystem. The project's integrated approach enriches the overall retail experience on Oxford Street, transforming it into a hub of innovation and artistic expression. With the potential to attract investments and facilitate the creation of novel products, the initiative empowers small brands to thrive, gain visibility and establishes Oxford Street as a thriving center for fashion and creativity.
