Visual Brand Manager
Broadly speaking, „visual merchandising“ stands for everything which can be seen by the consumer in an merchandising context, supporting the sales of products. The purpose of visual merchandising is to highlight collections and enforce the image of a brand. In the world of modern communication visual merchandising is a central component, especially in retail stores, where the competitors‘ offers and influences are present everywhere and top retailers just cannot afford to leave their customers on their own. Thus in the brand world, visual merchandising takes over the function of a compass. This VM Book is aimed at inspiring, guiding and supporting you in presenting your spring/sommer collection in the best possible way.
The book shows you how to combine the colors of the season. Make sure to structure the hanging in color blocks in a symmetrical order. In other words, if the hanging begins with a blue jacket, it should also end with a blue jacket or an article with the identical color tone. Everything will look calmer and more spacious. Also make sure the color blocks within the hanging have the same width. For instance this would mean to present less jackets and more shirts, due to the differences in volume.Whenever possible, begin your hanging with a jacket and continue in the thought of an outfit, which would be the combination of jacket/shirt/pants. With the season in progress, of course also product groups can be bundled individually.

This season, the Bench AW14 Menswear collection is driven by a demand for multipurpose functional, clothing suited to the fast pace of everyday life. Split into two ranges that have been designed with an integrated approach, both provide for the active and style conscious city dweller.The first of the two ranges, Multipurpose Life, brings together a selection of products equipping the wearer for 24 hours in the city. The second range, Multipurpose Performance, utilises performance fabrics with features like waterproofing and breathability whilst maintaining its versatility. A fully integrated approach sees a trickle down of technology such as DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatments and low bulk insulation from the Multipurpose Performance side of the collection into Multipurpose Life. Throughout the Performance collection the motto ‘Born in the City, Built for the Mountains’ is utilised to underpin an effortless transfer of contemporary street styling into performance fabrics and silhouettes and emphasize the adaptability of the range.Whether Multipurpose Life or Multipurpose Performance, all items within these collections are designed functionally to deliver security, enhance safety and adaptability for 24 hours. Prints and graphics in the Multipurpose Life range include an all-over Mirky Twill print, a Soundwave stripe print inspired by city sounds and placement graphics highlighting a journey through the city with photographic prints and slogans such as ‘No Limits’ and ‘Keep Rolling’.The Mirky Twill is carried over to the Multipurpose Performance range in a dark green colourway (Forest Night) to sit alongside the Tree Slash lining print in which the fresh white powder of a remote mountain is interspersed with the coloured shards of a gritty cityscape. Protection and Insulation are the key fabric topics for AW14 with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish applied to a variety of cotton and synthetic fabrics with breathable PU coatings also applied to provide further protection from the elements. Traditional fabrics such as denim have been engineered to have technical properties. Utilising Schoeller Ecorepel Technology applied to 11.5oz stretch cotton denim. Style FREWHEELL, the perfect commute to work trouser with revealable reflective elements and a mulititude of hidden pockets. To remain secure and safe when battling the elements and everyday conditions of the city, the AW14 collection introduces Reflect waterproof, breathable herringbone shell fabric with 3M reflective yarn woven into the surface and Dazzle a reflective knitwear yarn knitted into tipping stripes and pom poms within accessories. Additional reflective placement prints are also seen throughout. Comfort equally remains paramount with improved wadding weights and the introduction of low bulk Microdown combined with Stretcha, a stretch waterproof, breathable laminated fabric. Colour inspiration comes from the city with concrete greys and midnight blues providing the backdrop for neon light pops of yellow and turquoise.
