Changing Up Your Shopping Perspective

Bryanna Brown

Those of us who have the chance to cross the pond this year may stumble across a once in a lifetime European shopping experience: Changing Rooms.

Not your ordinary, cramped space, this surrealist exhibit is a mobile shopping excursion for designers all over Spain.

A simple, steel shipping crate has been transformed into an ultra-minimalist boutique, luring international hipsters to inspect the fantastic wares of well-established yet lesser-known designers.

If you’re interested in setting yourself apart from the crowd, try picking up some inspiration from the changing room. Twenty-eight designers have participated in this fashion event, and as they travel to twelve different locations, the stock changes as well. While shopping, you’re guaranteed to pick up a piece that is one of a kind.

The ship storage locker is a container of ideas and talent.  The space at the port of Barcelona has recently been recycled into a shop.  However, unlike your regular boutique, every two months a team of two European designers place exclusive, limited edition garments on the racks, ensuring that you won’t encounter an embarrassing doppelganger situation at your next soiree.

For those unable to afford the clothing, the project has released an adorable book showcasing creations from each designer for only 3 euros. For the creative minds  of consumers and designers alike, the book also features 200 blank pages for where you can doodle and take notes until your heart’s content.
