Our client had landed on an opportunity – to turn their supermarket chain into a fashion destination. Creating a brand with Finnish popstar Antti Tuisku, we designed the fashion collection and built the brand. Leveraging Antti's fame, we launched it, resulting in 1700% increase in online sales, and doubling overall clothing sales

The big opportunity that started it all: Can we turn our hypermarket chain into a legitimate fashion destination?

In early 2019, S Group, the leading Finnish retailer, had an idea for their hypermarket chain, Prisma: could they shift it from being a provider of basic, affordable clothing to a home of contemporary fashion?

The vehicle for this change: a new clothing line in partnership with Finnish pop celebrity, Antti Tuisku.

Our task was to tap into Antti's popularity and controversy to attract a diverse range of new customers to Prisma, changing perceptions of the hypermarket chain as we did so.

Tuisku

Fashion & brand, designed together. Besides creating the brand, we were also tasked with designing the clothing line itself and launching the brand.

Our strategy: create a story that was universally appealing, and design a clothing line that was not just a fashion statement, but a declaration of self-expression and authenticity. The essence of the brand drew inspiration from Antti's career – a path marked by courage, individuality, and the embrace of one's true self. This philosophy was fed into every aspect of the brand.

The clothing line marries performance with street fashion, every piece was a testament to the brand's core message – embracing your authentic self leads to growth and happiness. A message echoed in the logo – and upward arrow formed from Antti's initials.

Models

We celebrated diversity and the beauty of being unique, choosing models not just for their looks, but for their stories. The imagery is clean, powerful, and confident, highlighting individuals comfortable in their own skin.

So what did we achieve? The brand transformed Prisma from a hypermarket into a fashion destination.
