High-waisted, patched, bell bottoms, boot leg and baggy… denim is the ultimate apparel shapeshifter. Conversations swirl the social feeds discussing what’s in and out, and this timeless textile is always on top. Perhaps it’s the fond memories they evoke as trends return or the honorable character development they seem to endure.

As shoppers continue to search for purpose with purchase, consignment, co-creation, and customization, now come into play. Retailers have an opportunity to leverage denim as the universal language of fashion for a point of connection.

Gone are the days of preserving as we age, these treatments are about enhancing your daily, weekly, and monthly output.

Artisanal and American pride are the perfect mashup for Nashville native @imogeneandwillie. The craftsmanship for the product they create is abundantly obvious in the store they’ve designed. Thoughtful, intentional, and almost intimate in the sense that they get their shoppers. A space for honoring quality products for people who care.

Do you remember the days of pop music mall tours? Or when Milton Bradley created Mall Madness? How about movies like Mallrats and Clueless where the mall was the cool kid hangout.

Times sure have changed but in some ways they haven’t. The once cultural and social epicenters of American retail now face a challenge, “evolve to exist.”

While many developers are scrambling for a solution, we couldn’t help but pay homage to not only one of Cbus’ best, but also a leading retail destination @eastontownctr.

Curious how Easton has kept its pulse on the pace of retail innovation, our studio took a trip to check out its newest development.

Designing a place where brands can complement rather than compete, the new mixed use space caters to consumers lifestyles. With urban, eclectic, and artistic elements, they’ve tossed aside cookie cutter aesthetics to create a place to be, but also be socially seen.

Check out the link in our bio to hear more studio perspectives and how malls can take a page out of the Easton playbook.
