The brief
Navinder Nangla’s misspelt slogans have become emblems of fashion week in London, Paris and Milan. Moving from walls to product for the first time, with a debut capsule and an END. tee, he was about to gain a customer base he had no way of seeing.
Two phases
The showroom
A working demo in his Paris Fashion Week showroom with Feels Agency: buyers tapping garments before a single unit shipped.
Retail
100 limited edition tees, sold only at END. Soho, each carrying a tag that opened a raffle entry in the browser.
Built to be checked
Phone based deduplication, consent timestamps, and a free draw structured under the Gambling Act.
What we learned
81% of entries arrived on one day: the live window painting at END. Soho. After that they trickled, then stopped. The garment sat in the shop and the tag worked the whole time; what ran out was the reason to look. A connected product converts attention that already exists. The tag is half a system; the other half is a calendar.
The result
100 garments, 75 verified entrants, zero duplicates. 49.3% opted into marketing: a usable list from a first drop. 75 unique Instagram handles, every one a real person. Fraud check clean across phone, email and handle.
What happened next
A connected collection Navinder can speak to again on the next drop, and the calendar that makes it work.
