For the first time ever viewers will be able to ‘customise the catwalk’ giving users the ability to change the colour of selected key looks and accessories and share them the moment they hit the runway or order them instantly with delivery 3 months ahead of industry lead times.
The whole experience is built around allowing viewers to personalise the show and share those moments with their friends. Everything from the music to the clothes to the beauty can be purchased and shared across every platform, channel and device.
