Pod1 NYC is proud to announce the launch of a new ecommerce site for global luxury brand Derek Lam.
Derek Lam Int. was founded in New York in 2002. Lam’s vision for his label is to create clothes that are both luxurious and wearable, with a feminin but unfussy beauty about them.
The site was built using the Magento Commerce platform.

Working within the world of fast fashion means that we don’t always have the opportunity of flexing our usability muscles on some of the ecommerce websites that come out of our well oiled machine. So when I came across this little gem, it urged me to start this new series of posts of sites that put the user at the heart of the website.
1. Nabru: they sell sofas
- Loving the mega top-nav drop-down
- BIG buttons and BIG words make me and my grandmother so happy
- Visual checkout
Good work fellas.
1. Homepage takeover of VIMEO that is pretty outstanding. Great execution. It goes from this:

2. Skinput: using the skin on your arm instead of a joystick/keyboard – see for yourself:
Checkout the newly redesigned homepage for www.jigsaw-online.com. The new design was introduced to aid the merchandising of the site. Allowing the client to promote more products and offers direct from the homepage while allowing users easy access to the area of the site they require.
It’s also much better for SEO, the site has already improved rankings for a number of generic search terms thanks in no small part to the category navigation now being on the homepage.
NET-A-PORTER.COM have ventured into the world of white and launched their first online Wedding Boutique this month. The Boutique sells luxurious, chic bridal and wedding fashion from a number of designers including Lanvin Blanche, Alexander McQueen, Temperley London and more. To promote the online Wedding Boutique, we’ve worked with Net-A-Porter to launch a rich media advertising campaign.
Pod1’s brief was to create the campaign messaging, and design and produce a number of rich media ad formats within an interactive template. The camapign is the first of its kind for Net-A-Porter that uses an exciting new rich media format. We’ve teamed up with Flashtalking to create dynamic templates containing a share panel that all ad formats will use. The panel allows the Net-A-Porter audience to interact with the ad in a personal, engaging way. Gone are the days of traditonal formats, static impressions and boring click-throughs; make way for multichannel sharing, social media engagement and behavioural tracking! Check out the Ad’s in action on the following sites:

The official Disney opening of Alice in Wonderland back in 2009 broke the news of Tom Binns and his exclusive range:
The other designers bought on board by Disney have really pulled out the stops with their interpretation of the Alice in Wonderland theme.
Stella and Anna Lou in particular – take a look at these:

Last Friday marked the launch of Dig Deep Moments, the first of our many campaigns for Dig Deep. If you don’t already know, they are a new men’s streetwear brand inspired from sports launching in April 2010 with a stunning collection of tee-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, jackets and accessories.
The idea of Dig Deep Moments came from our early pitches to them, it gives Dig Deep the opportunity to explain the philosophy behind their brand before the eComm launch, get a following through great content, data capture through an exciting competition, and of course be the platform for fans to have heated discussions on the greatest sporting moments in history.
Check it out Dig Deep Moments – View, rate, share & have your say!
To celebrate the launch, Dig Deep invited a some of the team to the Six Nations Rugby match at Twickenham, with the England vs. Wales game marking the centenary match at the glorious stadium. Blessed with a beautiful (cold but sunny) day we enjoyed some freezing pints, tasty stadium food 
and watched a great game filled with many Dig Deep moments.
P.s. Thanks for the great photos Hannah.
Great interactivity with this new collection site for Wrangler Blue Bell Jeans Spring/Summer 2010. Visitors get to interact with each model taking drag interactivity to a new level. Produced by Swedish interactive production company Kokokaka.
We’re happy to announce the launch of Chic Outlet Shopping the latest phase of our work with Value Retail, owner of 9 designer outlet villages around Europe.
The launch of Chic Outlet Shopping finally ties the whole group of 10 sites together with a portal that will act as the gateway for the organisation’s international visitors.
Available in 11 languages, the site will be the primary destination for shoppers who want to visit one of the nine villages.
Main features of the site include descriptions of the nine villages and the discounted brands available at each destination; various guides and competitions; travel information and details of the various memberships available to shoppers.
When a site visitor wants to access any of the nine villages, it’s simply a click away.
The 10 sites have been developed using Epifony, Pod1’s proprietary open source Content Management System (which is based on the Symfony web application framework).
