The VM+SD 12th Annual International Visual Competition WinnersHolt Renfrew's Vinyl, Style in the Groove, a month-long celebration of music and fashion held at the Canadian retailer's Toronto flagship, earned Best of Show honors and First Place in the In-Store Storewide Promotion category, setting the tune for an exciting 12th annual VM+SD International Visual Competition.
The judges, gathering in May at the Cincinnati office of brand consultancy Benchmark for the annual review, lauded Holt Renfrew for interpreting its theme in different but equally impressive ways throughout the department store, in window displays and in-store events.
"It has layer upon layer upon layer, and you just want to see more and more and more," said one judge.
Another paused to consider, "How much further can you go than cladding the whole building?" -- a reference to the hot pink exterior screaming for attention during the 26-day event.
This year's judging panel included: Robert Carey, designer, Federated Department Stores; James Frederick, principal, Frederick Design Group; Beth Harlor, vp and market leader, beauty and fashion, Benchmark; Brent Hodge, visual merchandiser, Arhaus; Tracey Lanz, senior designer, Landor Associates; Andrew McQuilkin, vp, FRCH Design Worldwide; and Jennifer Wilson, freelance designer and former J.C. Penney visual merchandiser.
