Celine Selfridges

The main purpose for my trip to London was to conduct market and retail research on my groups chosen brand 'Celine', pre arrival in the city we discussed where we could find concessions of the brand as the flagship store was closed down by Phoebe Philo in 2004. Me and my partner Sam looked around Celine Selfridges. The Celine concession was located on the 2nd floor in the women's wear designer gallery situated near other well known high end luxury brands such as Alexander Mc Queen, Balenciaga and Dries Von Noten. 

Whilst looking around the concession we took notes of positioning and also conducted 2 separate questionnaires in order to learn more about the brand from different people, its workers and its consumers.
