Set in-center, the story unfolded over two months and led shoppers on an adventure from lush autumn forest to winter wonderland. Showing off an evolving scene complete with changing colors, falling leaves, and glistening textures, Enchantment opened just in time for the Mother’s Day gifting period and was another product of the kind of creative collaboration and stylish communication that has proven to be a winning formula for the center over the past few years. Gazal continues to work on Bondi Junction’s visual merchandising and leaves a lasting impression in the center as she did on this creative mission to showcase the magical stages of the change in seasons. By applying different colors, textures, props, and retailer fashion, the creative team transformed the canopy and cabinets with a series of styling changeovers. “Each changeover played a subtle yet effective role in telling the story of our trans-seasonal cabinets, bringing them to life in our living center,” shared Ella Werman, brand experience executive for Westfield Bondi Junction. In an attempt to promote the installation and bridge the gap between the online and offline worlds, the center paired vibrant in-center photography with a brief tale of seasonal change to create a website story, "An Enchanting Winter Wonderland Emerges."
