SS26 Lookbook — Hawes & Curtis

Overview

The Hawes & Curtis PDP redesign is an in-progress UX and UI project focused on improving one of the most important commercial templates on the site.

The work looks at how customers evaluate products and what information they need before feeling confident enough to add to bag. Early iterations explored improvements to product imagery, colour selection, size guidance, product details, reviews, multibuy messaging and “Wear it With” recommendations.

On mobile, the focus was on making the page feel clearer and easier to use in a limited space. The proposed direction included full-width product imagery, visible colour options, better placement of the size guide and product details that are easier to access without extra effort.

On desktop, the focus was on creating a stronger balance between imagery and product information. Product imagery could scroll vertically, while key product information remains accessible until the user reaches the end of the image set. The layout also needed to stay centred and controlled on larger screens, rather than stretching too far across wide displays.

Because the redesign is not live yet, the case study is focused on the thinking, structure and early design direction rather than final results. The project shows how I approach PDP improvement as a commercial UX challenge: reducing hesitation, improving clarity and helping customers make faster, more confident product decisions.

Context

The SS26 Lookbook needed to feel polished and campaign led, but it also had to work hard as part of the shopping journey.

Rather than creating a page that simply showcased nice imagery, I wanted the experience to give the collection more room to breathe while still guiding customers towards the products behind the campaign. It was about finding the balance between brand storytelling and clear, useful commerce.

01

The challenge

The risk with a campaign page is that it becomes a nice visual moment, but doesn’t really help the customer go anywhere next.

For SS26, the aim was to make the Lookbook feel useful without making it feel overworked. It needed to give the collection space, keep the experience sharp and considered, and make the route into shopping feel clear without forcing it.

02

What it needed to do

01

Present SS26 as a cohesive editorial campaign story

02

Connect seasonal inspiration with product discovery

03

Create a premium, responsive lookbook experience

04

Encourage onward journeys into PDPs and shopping paths

03

My role

As CRO & UX Lead on the project, I shaped the experience end to end and worked closely with marketing, merchandising and development to bring it to life.

  • Led campaign page and editorial layout design

  • Defined the visual hierarchy and journey structure

  • Connected campaign storytelling with product discovery

  • Partnered with marketing and merchandising on content and product priority

  • Worked with development to ensure faithful, performant delivery

  • Reviewed the experience post-launch using GA4 and behavioural insight

Commercial thinking

Turning campaign storytelling into product interest

Editorial and commerce were not treated as opposing forces. The storytelling was designed to actively support product journeys, not distract from them.

  • Campaign storytelling was structured to lead naturally toward product interest

  • Product information was surfaced at the moments it genuinely helped decision-making

  • The layout encouraged deeper browsing rather than a quick bounce

  • Every UX choice aimed to serve both brand perception and conversion intent

04

Outcome

The experience read as a single, considered editorial story rather than a set of disconnected modules.

  • A stronger, more cohesive presentation of the SS26 collection

  • A clearer campaign journey from inspiration toward product interest

  • A closer connection between campaign imagery and product discovery

  • A layout system designed to support click-through into product journeys

  • A responsive experience that held up consistently across desktop and mobile

Early post-launch analysis showed positive engagement signals, with users continuing from the Lookbook into PDPs and lower-funnel shopping journeys. I’ve kept the public version deliberately high-level to avoid exposing internal performance data.

05

What I’d improve next

Given more time, I would push the personalisation of the discovery hand-off further, tailoring which products appear based on the part of the campaign story a customer engages with most.

I would also introduce more detailed tracking around product interactions, panel opens, scroll depth and product clicks, so the experience could be optimised with stronger behavioural evidence.

  • More tracking around key interaction points

  • More experimentation with product placement

  • Stronger personalisation of the discovery hand-off

  • Clearer testing around which campaign moments drive the strongest product intent
