- Provides new way for premium brands to engage with NOWNESS' broad and sophisticated user base through award-winning creative content -
- Inaugural film to feature a collection of iconic luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton, La Perla, Kenzo, Bottega Veneta, Haider Ackermann, Rick Owens, and Maison Martin Margiela -
PARIS, March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NOWNESS.com, the award-winning editorial website that serves as a daily resource for the culturally curious, today announced the launch of the first shoppable video experience on its unique digital platform.
To showcase this new feature, NOWNESS has partnered with renowned brands Louis Vuitton, La Perla, Kenzo, Haider Ackermann, Rick Owens, Bottega Veneta, and Maison Martin Margiela on a short film featuring five Sadler's Wells dancers. As the dancers whirl across the screen, engaged in what director duo Tell No One describes as "a game of tag with clothes," the film uses an innovative technology that seamlessly integrates a click-to-buy functionality in the background of the video content. The film is featured on NOWNESS.com at http://www.nowness.com/day/2014/3/10/3719/mine-all-mine.
This unique functionality will now be available to brands that collaborate with NOWNESS to create inspiring and highly-creative digital stories. This presents a compelling opportunity for premium brands to leverage shoppable video technology in a manner that remains true to an aspirational brand image, while also benefiting from NOWNESS' network of creative talent and broad, sophisticated user base.
This enhanced feature is consistent with NOWNESS' mission to continually provide a differentiated experience for its users and influential brand partners through artistic digital storytelling. The shoppable functionality will enable NOWNESS' audience to identify featured fashion products and save them for later purchase through third-party sites without disrupting or distracting from the viewing experience.
The content will retain the high level of artistry for which the site is known. Importantly, it will not incorporate feature banners or sidebars that are distracting to the eye, or stop once a user selects a product, which would compromise the viewing experience.
