What if a fashion store could do more than sell?

For Fashion Translator project, students worked to explore a new role for contemporary retail: one that brings fashion, culture, participation, and community back into the physical space.

The project reimagines the store as an immersive environment where physical, digital, and social experiences intersect: co-creation areas, exhibition spaces, interactive displays, AI-powered styling, and phone-free experiences encourage visitors to engage with fashion through learning, discovery, and shared experiences.

At the heart of Fashion Translator is the idea of transforming subcultures, knowledge, music, and identity into spatial and participatory experiences.

The result is a retail concept designed not only to sell products, but to build emotional connections, collective identity, and a stronger sense of community.

Designer, architect, inventor and provocateur, Philippe Starck has spent decades challenging the boundaries of contemporary design.

His story also intersects with Domus Academy, where he contributed as a lecturer and workshop leader during the Academy’s early years in 1980s Milan.

From Juicy Salif for Alessi to Louis Ghost for Kartell, his work has transformed familiar objects into cultural statements. But his vision extends far beyond product design, spanning architecture, interiors, hotels and hospitality.

At the heart of his approach is democratic design: making creativity and quality accessible while seeing design as a way to shape experiences and new ways of living.

Our latest Magazine article explores Starck’s career, design philosophy and his connection with Domus Academy.
