Azorte's Visual Identity

Distinct Zones with Unique Materials

The store is divided into zones for different product categories (western wear, ethnic wear, etc.). Each zone uses a variation of the core materials palette with additional elements to create a unique personality for each.

Vibrant yet Muted Palette

Azorte uses a colorful palette to reflect youth and diversity. However, the colours are kept somewhat muted to avoid overwhelming the users and to highlight the clothing collections.

Conclusion

Azorte targets tech-savvy Millennials and Gen Z, who are open to innovation but cautious about privacy and usability. While the brand’s digital features like self-checkout booths and smart kiosks reflect this experimental spirit, customer responses have been mixed, especially regarding kiosks placed inside changing rooms.

Staff Assistance

Once the user is done choosing the outfits, a staff member is assigned to help them get the pieces of clothing and try them on. This manual intervention takes place at the end of both- the style check as well as the fit check.
