Q How does APOC Store challenge current industry standards?
A We work with all of our designers on a case-by-case, allowing them to sell what they want when they want. We have no deadlines, don't follow seasons and don't offer any seasonal discounts, ever.
Q What’s APOC’s hope for the future?
A We hope to continue supporting a wide range of global designers & artists, allowing them to grow sustainably and within their means.
Q What is APOC Store looking for in new designers?
A More than anything, we look for something new that they bring to the industry. It is not about having a commercial product or adhering to traditional aesthetic standards, but instead more about challenging current norms.
Q What is the most important thing for emerging designers to consider in order to be relevant today?
A For us, we look at designers who are working towards a better industry and society. Additionally (and it is a cliche), we look for designers who stay true to themselves and don't change to fit the norm and industry standards.
Q What are your thoughts on the future of traditional retail?
A We think and hope to see many more retail models challenge the traditional standard. Specifically, the wholesale model, as it only works well for brands who have already a certain infrastructure, whilst there are so many horror stories of emerging designers being run over by wholesalers.
