Flagship stores for big retailers are often the center of innovation and experimentation for their brand. Anthropologie’s flagship on 18th and Walnut is no exception and for a local label as unusual as Urban Outfitter’s family of brands, they rarely disappoint.

To celebrate summer, this ‘installation’ stands as a welcome arch to those intrigued and curious about the design or needing a stylish new summer wardrobe. Stores across the US have on display other unique welcomes. Photos on their facebook page.

Creative industries, especially fashion, design and architecture often collide. This welcome arch plays with the designer’s eye in its movement, color (orange) and material (wood). Unsure of the creator’s inspiration, it may be as the saleswoman said, “Just pretty.”

Either way, an enjoyable divergence provided by Philly's Creatives from the usual concrete and coffee cart walk to work. Much apprciated.
