Accessorzie - Looking for nets

So I went through the packaging nets books at Uni to try and find some appropriate formats for my patterns to be applied to. From these I have created and adapted nets and hopefully will be printing and constructing them this week.

Accessorize 2013 Autumn / Winter collection - Existing Designs

I wanted to look at the Retail Graphics Accessorize had already had within store, to avoid doing a similar design but to also get a flair for the style and ethos of the store.

Accessorize 2013 Autumn / Winter collection - Re-brand

Accessorize and Monsoon work as united brands, and have both recently been updated. I wanted to look at how both have changed and the effect thats had on the in store graphics and packaging. I also want to try and bring together the two brands more than they are currently,  to try and incorporate some of what Monsoon stands for, into Accessorize.

Accessorize is devoted to bringing the most exciting and eclectic products to the high street. With its own in-house design team, Accessorize holds a unique position on the high street with its inspirational, globally sourced, well priced and good quality collection of fashion accessories. Seasonal themes run through the brand, always presenting an individual take on the latest trends. The product range created at Accessorize is extensive and includes every kind of accessory imaginable.

In the early 1980's Monsoon started to sell a small collection of accessories which became so popular that the idea for the innovative new store format Accessorize was born.

The first Accessorize store opened in London's Covent Garden Piazza in 1984 and the second in Carnaby Street in 1986. 1992 saw the first Accessorize store outside London with a store opening in Manchester. In the same year the first airport store was opened at Gatwick South terminal. Building on the company's phenomenal success, a store opening programme began, averaging 16 new stores each year.

Today there are more than 240 Accessorize stores in the UK and a blossoming international operation of over 800 stores.

Accessorize 2013 Autumn / Winter collection - Illustration Style

I came across a few pattern designs I liked which hold a few items / animals which are in this years Accessorize products. I really like the simplistic style, the amazing colour aplette and child like approach.

Accessorize 2013 Autumn / Winter collection - Hymns

For the typography side of the retail graphics I wanted to look into Autumn Hymns as I remembered a few we were taught to sing at school, and felt it would be a lovely nostalgic element to have within store.


The typography style itself I want to hold items related to both Autumn and Winter for each collection, whether than be words intertwined with leaves, or smothered in snow. Here are a few style I like, and could possibly push forward:
