DESCRIPTION OF AREAThe store is located in Carrefour Laval which has hundreds of stores and also a lot of restau-rants. Around the Carrefour Laval, a lot of store, restaurants and residences can be found. Near this mall, you have a cinema, condos and a lot of restaurants and place to walk around. This is a very developed area where you can get around by walking. There is also the auto-route 15 and the 440 that are right beside the mall.

THEME The theme will be something very simple. Chic clothing with accessories, same as the collection Michael Kors has been having for years. Since summer is coming and the col-lection is inspired by the 100 series watch for world hunger, the color blue will be standing out a lot. The collection will resemble the store, something very classy with a touch of blue. The vision of the store is to keep the same clientele by trying to expand it. The renovations of the store are to attract more customers and to make the store stand out compared to now. A new store always attracts more people. The vision will also be to shop people the company is a loyal brand, that cares for something else than making pro�t, helping an orga-nization by making a watch in their name and collecting donations; to show that the com-pany likes to get involved in what is happening in our world of today.

SOURCE OF INSPIRATIONFor the inspiration of this new concept I used the new Michael Kors watch design. Michael Kors used one of their best selling watch and changed it in order to raise money for the United Nations World Food Programme. The watch is written world hunger in the back and has the shape of the globe inside the front. The watch is in a brilliant blue color and gold. For each watch that will be sold, 25$ will be donated to WFP, one watch sold will equal 100 meals. For this concept, I used the inspiration of not only the watch, but also since summer is just around the corner. I decided to blend both in, while still staying very classy since this is Michael Kors, I only added a bit of colors for it to stand out, using the blue that appears in the watch.

Renovating an already existing store doesn’t give you the decision to do what you wish with the store. After redoing the storefront for the Michael Kors in Car-refour Laval, it gives the store more simplicity and color. The window display is sim-pler than before, displaying only a few elements of what the store has to present. The colors presented are black/tan/white with a touch of blue to make it standout and to promote the new 100 series watch for world hunger. Compared to the window of before that used to display a lot of the collection and showed the inside of the store, I decided to make a smaller window frame, with large glass door and 2 ad posters. The ad posters are from a summer campaign to �t with the concept and since the store will be ready for June.

The goal in redoing the inside of the store was to maximize the space to put more collections that before and for the store to be well arranged. On the �rst �oor is where all of the new collections will be displayed. When coming in the store, you have the best sellers on your left which are the watches table, and the purse in front of you, around the line for the cash regis-ter. When coming in the front it’s easy to see the shoe rack displayed on the wall, with a sofa area for trying on the shoes. The �rst �oor is very simple and elegant, in order to show the clientele what the brand really wants to show. The second �oor is more packed since this is where all the accessories, the wallets and the clothes are displayed. Six tables of accessories are to the right when clients will be going up, it will give the �oor a chic look with glass tables. On the wall to the right completely will be the clothing on racks, where people can easily access and not too packed, so it won’t be a harass to walk through. There is also the dressing room at the far end with sofas in front for the client’s com-panion to be able to sit down and wait for them without standing up and crowding the place.
