To ‘wear’ the pieces, Printemps says that the shopper simply chooses their item(s) on Printemps.com and adds them to their basket. At checkout, the shopper sends a photo of themself in their underwear, swimsuit or close-fitting clothes. The piece(s) are then adapted to the photo by a digital “tailor” and 72 hours after your purchase, you will receive a photo ready to post on social media.
On the strength of this first collection, Printemps is already preparing a wardrobe for the end-of-the- year festive season. A creative and imaginative online shopping experience: to be continued, says the company.
