Coin gives a new look to the flagship Milano Cinque Giornate

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:58:33 +0100

Unveiling is planned for March 2008

“Here at Coin, the department store dedicated to clothing and home decoration, we’re going forward with our ambitious plan to renew and expand our network of stores, by launching the previously announced restyling of the historic store in Piazza Cinque Giornate in Milan,” affirms Stefano Beraldo, CEO of the Grouppo Coin.

An important renewal project, not only because this is the largest store of the Coin network, but also because of the strong impact it will have on the city.

The completely transparent facade and the two-storey show windows are sure to become an attraction in the urban context

Inside the seamless glass facade, the lights of the majestic 10 floors and the largest video wall in Europe will transform the surface into an interactive medium for dialogue with the city, emphasizing Coin’s role as a meeting point and centre for multimedia experiences.

From the basement to the panoramic restaurant on the eighth floor, customized materials and moods will characterize the departments dedicated to beauty, clothing and home decoration, and provide the setting for the ample selection of brands, a result of the great attention to new trends and the search for new expressions.
Not everything for everyone, but the best of various styles.

The basement will house the special food hall Eataly, a Coin exclusive, making its debut in Milan, inspired by the slow food experience, offering 1500 products selected among the best Italian traditions that may also be tasted at the new Lunch Bar.
The exclusive Nespresso Boutique In Shop will also be present, with its collection of machines, accessories and flavoured coffees for sale.

The renovation works on the ground floor will commence in January. This will become a refined and theatrical space, inspired by design and contemporary style, to surround the perfumery and accessories departments.

Upstairs on the first floor, metal floors and hi-tech lighting will set the scene for the Urban and Denim Context, with the best known brands, and a special corner in which the youngest customers can pursue their expectations.

The men’s department will occupy the second and third floors. Different styles for different worlds: from the teak deck of the world of sportswear to the elegant fixtures for a more metropolitan look, and on to custom made suits and belts for the most demanding customers.

The fourth and fifth floors will cater for women with a flair for novelty, curious and even sophisticated, but never out of touch, in a completely new and refined setting.

Children will be the protagonists on the sixth floor in a playful, entertaining and colourful setting, with a selection of the most popular brands from our experience in our four YOVI stores.

The seventh floor is dedicated to the pleasure of seduction: not only lingerie but also sensuality and wickedness in the Paradise Lounge, a space dedicated to femininity and irony where books, toys, perfumes and candles create the atmosphere for the most original and sophisticated brands of lingerie. And, next to hair stylist Aldo Coppola, a Beauty room where customers can relax and indulge in innovative treatments for their well-being.

And, last but not least, the new Globe restaurant on the top floor, with its terrace overlooking the city.

OVS INDUSTRY AND TELETHON, 2007 COLLECTION TARGET: 700 THOUSAND EUROS

The Venetian company is once again supporting the research project on infantile deafness conducted by the Molecular Institute in Padua.

OVS industry, the number one Italian apparel company (data from Sitaricerca 2006), once again demonstrates its support for research, actively participating as a major sponsor of the Telethon Marathon, undertaking to collect 700 thousand euros.

Fabio Pampani, General Manager of the brand that is part of Gruppo Coin, confirms the three-year agreement which envisages OVS industry fully supporting a research project conducted by Professor Fabio Mammano, from the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine in Padua. The three-year research project, which was launched in 2005, regards infantile deafness and will enable light to be shed on a disease that affects 1 in 1000 newborns.

Beyond its direct commitment, OVS will also be giving its customers the opportunity to contribute to the Telethon fund. Therefore, between 5 November and 31 December, Telethon cards will be on sale at all OVS stores; by buying one at the price of 5 euros, OVS industry customers will be supporting the telethon projects. The 2007 collection target is fairly ambitious: 140,000 cards will be on sale, which will enable funds worth a total of €700 thousand to be collected.

“We wanted to confirm our commitment alongside Telethon – stated Fabio Pampani, OVS industry’s General Manager – , the research projects underway and supported through these initiatives have the twofold objective of working on a largely unknown genetic disease and stopping Italian brains fleeing abroad due to a lack of research funds”.

OVS has been selling, producing and selecting high quality garments and accessories for 35 years, with care and expertise, offering the best product at the best price: in fact, OVS has always provided production guarantees for its collections, complying with the most severe national and international Social Responsibility standards.

Dear Users,

I’m happy to unveil the new Gruppo Coin corporate website, completely redesigned in terms of structure and graphics and, above all, richer than ever as regards content and interactive services.

Our aim was to develop this new project to stand alongside the significant corporate results we have achieved this year, in the full knowledge of the growing strategic importance the Internet plays in our day-to-day relationship with all our stakeholders.

We have sought to outline our leading role in the large-scale apparel and accessories retail market by using all the means the Internet has to offer. However, if the founding principles of the Group, specific information on our product lines and brands, and a thorough run-down of our economic and financial data are also in clear evidence on the website, we will know that we are on the right path to providing effective online communications.

The new site, available in both Italian and English, forms part of a communications strategy based on transparency, timeliness and elegance.

I hope you enjoy exploring the website.

Coincasadesign explores Sweden and Switzerland for its new 2008 collection

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:09:21 +0100

Launched in 2007 with a collection signed by the national Italian Design team, Coin’s home accessories design brand Coincasadesign branches out in 2008 to explore Europe. Sweden and Switzerland, the two selected countries, offer two collections suggesting very different atmospheres: “I servizievoli” are home accessories that provide clever and handy solutions created in partnership with Lausanne’s Ecal (University of Art and Design) while the Glow lamps are coloured fabric lamps designed by the Swedish group known as Front.

Under the guidance of Professor Jörg Boner and based on the guidelines provided by Cristina Morozzi, the art director of Coincasadesign, the Ecal’s second year students took on the task of exploring every day life to find answers to generally neglected needs. The result is a series of eight accessories featuring a fresh and linear design that are as helpful and practical as butlers were in days gone by: a mirror that includes a coat hanger and a tidy tray; a standing hanger; a partitioned laundry basket; a paper and magazine basket for the side of a desk or the sofa; a series of ‘Russian doll’ tables (where the larger table contains the smaller one) that can also be used as stools; a fold-away coat hanger that is assembled with Velcro; a short step-stool to reach up to the top of cupboards that can also be used as a stool; and a corner lamp that decorates the walls with its colourful glow.

Front are four Swedish designers that have become internationally renowned celebrities, recently seen as guests of the Elastic mind exhibition currently held at New York’s Moma. Theirs was definitely a bright idea: the creation of vibrantly coloured fabric lamps in different shapes and sizes, some even 1.20mt. tall, similar to glowing hot-air balloons that illuminate as they magically blossom in an array of unexpected shapes.

The 2007 collection is also presented anew: the finish and decorations of its most successful pieces have been revamped and will be available for sale together with the novelties available in the new Coincasadesign corner conceived by JoeVelluto to enhance design projects and also online.

Coin’s virtual shop opened on the 15th of March 2008 and is available on www.shop.coin.it. The website is a showcase where you can browse individual products, read the biographies of their designers, watch the video presentations for further information on our designers’ products. For European-design enthusiasts worldwide a “made in Coincasa” product is now just a click away.

OVS industry has signed an agreement whereby it has undertaken to support an important research project on the “Cytochrome-c-oxidase deficit” (a very rare genetic illness affecting children for which there is no cure at present) co-ordinated by Dr. Leonardo Salviati from the Department of Paediatrics at Padua University.

Through its widespread network of stores spread all across Italy, OVS industry is actively promoting the collection of funds, offering its customers the possibility to make simple and direct contributions. Telethon cards will, in fact, be available from 31 October to 31 December at over 300 OVS industry stores: by simply donating 5 euro you will be supporting the research projects promoted by Telethon.

OVS industry stresses its support for families and the serious nature of its activities where children are concerned also through its support for joint initiatives which convey the same values as those of the company. In Italy, in fact, one child out of three wears OVS clothes every day and a good 2.6 million mothers (approximately 70% of the market) choose the quality and comfort of OVS collections for their children’s clothing.

”We wanted to confirm our commitment alongside Telethon – declared Fabio Pampani, General Manager OVS industry -, projects started and supported through these initiatives have the dual objective of researching genetic illnesses about which little is still known and helping scientific research in Italy which is all too often neglected due to a lack of funding”.

Yuka Morinishi
The tailor shop is my home. I grew up in Kobe, where my family has owned a tailoring and dressmaker’s shop for several generations. As a child, I used to play in the shop among the fabrics and the mannequins: it was here that I developed a passion for everything that is handmade. As I grew up, I continued to research the world of passions and the means to share them with others. Democratic Jeans is the realization of my research.

Women symbolise elegance, culture and innocence; they also represent happiness. The Samurai (man) represents the powerful force of nature: his training must be constant, in order to reaffirm his strength and his values

Ennio Capasa and OVS industry present EEQUAL

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:12:45 +0100

Ennio Capasa and OVS industry present EEQUAL, a project of “democratic fashion” where design and creativity merge creating fashion products for man and woman. This collaboration marks the beginning of a multiannual developing project.

EEQUAL, a brand created by Ennio Capasa merging the first letter of his name with the word that best defines the core of the project, will be available at the OVS industry stores in dedicated and personalized corners starting with the Spring/Summer 2011 collection.

“The temptation to develop a “democratic” fashion project accessible to anyone has been very strong for a designer in the last few years. The real challenge is to offer a high quality product with a creative and original idea behind it, and put it on the market at a price that is affordable for those who already love fashion, but especially for the new generation that we want to educate to a essential, modern and sophisticated style that define my work. The true “democratic” nature of OVS industry, an Italian company in constant international expansion, and its devotion to quality convinced me that my passion and my experience could be translated into an innovative and contemporary project”.

Through EEQUAL, Ennio Capasa and OVS industry can communicate to the general public using a modern language and offering an accurate project thought of down to the last detail: from the structure to the atmosphere of the stores, from the displays to the packaging, from the layout to the communication strategy.
OVS industry, through a dedicated team of people, will add to Ennio Capasa’s creative contributions its consolidated experience in selecting, producing and distributing high quality products, renewed frequently and always presented at an “equal” price.
OVS industry will dedicate personalized spaces to EEQUAL in 120 stores with the ambition to expand quickly this important project throughout the network of stores. This September OVS industry will open its 500th store, the first of a series with a new concept, new colors and redesigned spaces.

“I am very happy with this agreement, which enhances our respective skills” – says Stefano Beraldo, CEO of Gruppo Coin (of which OVS industry is a part of) – “It's a new, seriously way, based on solid assumptions, to offer our customers a true fashion collection at OVS industry prices. A mutual choice that expresses on one side the desire to bring the culture of fashion to a retailer that has evolved significantly in recent years, and on the other side the challenge for one of the most innovative and accredited Italian designer to be exposed to a completely different and enlarged audience. The collections will be conceived and designed by Ennio Capasa and his team. We will take care of prototyping, production and distribution. We are confident that this will bring additional value to our company because our team will be motivated by the need to compare itself to the work of a designer like Ennio Capasa. We like to think of ourselves as being a huge platform where the best and most original skills come together to design and deliver intelligent, contemporary ideas and products. I conceive our collaboration as a continuous work in progress and this agreement is perfect to identify a new phase of the development of OVS industy: Ennio Capasa’s essential lines will create a new fashion segment in our stores speeding up the evolution process of the brand”.

Ennio Capasa was born in Lecce, South of Italy. After having studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, he moved to Tokyo where he becomes the collaborator of Yohji Yamamoto for two years. On his return to Italy, in 1986 he presented the first Costume National woman collection. Designer and Creative Director of Costume National, Costume National Homme and C’N’C Costume National, Ennio Capasa is know to have created an original and iconographic style that the international press defines essential, edgy-chic.

New Adv Campaign for OVS industry: from fiction to real life

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:44:03 +0100

Venice, September 2010. OVS industry presents its new 2010 fall/winter campaign and takes a major step in consolidating its new brand image. After the “stories” located in Paris, Los Angeles, New York, Marseille, Berlin and Capri, OVS industry now chooses the “reality” of everyday life.

Its photography makes a clear break from previous campaigns thanks to the contribution of the US photographer Scott Schuman, whose blog “The Sartorialist” has become such an important point of reference in the world of fashion to earn him a place amongst the 100 most influential personalities in the world identified by Time Magazine.

In recent years Scott Schuman has developed a sharp eye for people’s individual tastes and the original way in which they combine garments and accessories. What he has created is almost a tribute to the “individual style”.

This same style characterises the new OVS industry campaign: instead of models it resorts to real people who differ for age, job, attitude and fame.
The campaign also includes a number of celebrities – Nicolas Vaporidis, Ginevra Elkann, Anna Cataldi and Jacaranda Caracciolo Falk, Alessandra D'Urso, Jessica Einaudi, Federico Scrocco, Joel Berg to mention just a few – who are portrayed on equal terms with the other non famous models, as though they had been caught leading their everyday lives.

The result is a collective and contemporary portrait, authentic in style that represents the same essence of OVS industry’s philosophy: a democratic brand, really designed for everyone, offering quality fashion at a competitive price.
Expressed through Scott Schuman’s glance, the concept of fashion becomes cross-cutting in both target and offer, clearly and unambiguously expressing the modern spirit of OVS industry.

OVS industry’s sense of responsibility is also testified by its support for Save the Children, the largest independent international organisation that has been working since 1919 to concretely improve the lives of children in Italy and in the world, and for other non-for-profit institutions whom the campaign’s testimonials have devolved their fee. Another concrete sign that fashion is not necessarily something to dream of but part of real life.

UPIM POP: the new city shopping mall

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:26:53 +0100

Straightforward and accessible: this is the new ‘pop’ side of the UPIM POP concept store. The first four shops will open in Milan and Rome in September. A tribute to Andy Warhol

Venice, August 2010 – Gruppo Coin continues to experiment. After overhauling the OVS Industry and Coin stores the major Italian clothing group shares its own peculiar Pop interpretation of the shopping experience.

Just a few months after acquiring the Upim chain, Gruppo Coin today presents the new concept of this historical brand.
Upim Pop has been created to innovate and overcome the traditional store concept. Spaces are designed so as to ensure people will experience them and not just glance at them or browse through them.
Upim will continue to hold on to its mission and will still focus on a “popular” target, reinterpreted nevertheless in a more contemporary mood. The mall is conceived as part of the urban space, a meeting point, a place that is accessible, fresh and fun, where you can find useful everyday items or even just get together. UPIM will be 100% POP.

The new concept store turns into a non-virtual research engine, a city-centre emporium that makes available in a single location “the things that everyone wants”. Not just clothing, home accessories and toiletry but also books, electronics, eyewear, sportswear and food, all carefully selected worldwide to express the qualities of leadership, competence and recognisability.
The historical brand Croff has also been revamped: dedicated to a modern, young and informal home it now provides a broad range of products from table linen to kitchen items, furnishing and other home accessories. All available at an accessible price.

The leit motiv of the new Upim Pop stores will be “oversize”. Inspired by pop artists such as Claes Oldenburg - an American artist who creates everyday objects on a surprisingly urban scale – the packaging, for example, that usually holds and protects its contents becomes a chest or a showcase.
The design of the new stores gives vent to the pop language of our days as found on the web, with its symbols and its icons. The ceiling will be redesigned to represent a maxi screen with icons to guide customers through the different store departments, as though they were browsing the net.

Four Upim Pop stores will host the launch of the new concept in September: on the 15th the Milan stores in via B. Aires and Piazzale Corvetto and on the 17th in Rome, Piazza S. Maria Maggiore and Via Tusculana .

Created by the imagination of young designers and sold in Coin stores from September 25th

Venice, June 2010 – After the Democratic Jeans designed by Yuka Morinishi that sold like hot cakes, the next items in Coin’s Democratic Wear project are a rain jacket by Sarah Stevenson and sneakers by Francisco Javier Perez Fagoaga.
