Provacateurs fueled for growth
Article Abstract:
Italy-based Diesel is one of the most forward-looking store firms worldwide in terms of store and merchanside design. The company's new superstore in New York, NY, features a streamlined storefront with huge block letter signage, a yellow wrap desk with built-in cash registers, a 'denim bar' displaying pants, and a hemispheric window on the floor of the men's department that overlooks the floor below. The store is filled with culturally hip graphics, drawing on the irony, androgyny, and allusion that are hallmarks of the so-called Generation X.
