Concept Direction & Design Oversight
Concept and spatial direction for a multi-brand footwear trade showcase featuring Aeropostale, US Polo Assn., Arrow, and Flying Machine under Arvind Sports Lifestyle. The objective was to build distinct yet cohesive brand environments that presented collections clearly within a commercially driven trade setting.
Creative direction was defined internally and executed through an external agency, with close oversight to ensure alignment with brand positioning.

Each section communicated its brand positioning effectively while remaining aligned with the space and budget.
Footwear display strategy
- Structured display systems around repetition and alignment for clarity
- Defined hierarchy, shelf spacing, and product density
- Kept footwear as the focal point within every environment
- Designed layouts to support easy comparison and buyer interaction
Design oversight & execution
