E-commerce for fashion brands.

ANCC Studio is a London e-commerce agency for fashion and luxury brands. It designs and builds the storefront on Shopify and Shopify Plus and shoots the e-commerce photography to the store's own templates. The same team can run the store month to month.

Method

The store is designed first. Category logic, collection templates, product pages and checkout are mapped, and each template fixes the crop, ratio and margin its images will hold. The e-commerce shoot is then planned against those templates, and the imagery goes straight onto the live pages.

The storefront

ANCC is a registered Shopify Partner and builds on Shopify and Shopify Plus: theme design and development, subscriptions, internationalisation, third-party integrations, headless builds and custom apps. The studio also moves stores to Shopify from Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud and WooCommerce. The Shopify page covers the build in full.

The imagery

A full-service e-commerce day carries up to 45 SKUs and 180 retouched images, with an art director on set. The crew is an editorial photographer, a digital technician, lighting, a model, hair and make-up, in a London studio chosen for the production. Packshots are shot to the store's template, and every file is named, cropped and sized for the platform.

After launch

ANCC can run the store on a monthly Shopify retainer after launch. The storefront changes with each collection, and new imagery is shot to the same templates. Social posts, paid media and email can use the same shoot-day images.

The record

Jill Burgi, Sotos Nakis and Sélone Studio went from identity to storefront with the studio, and Subi's identity is carried across the running-wear label's product and site. E-commerce photography on this site includes Stella McCartney, Nanushka, Sélone Studio, Sotos Nakis, Somewhere Good, Hobbs, Kowtow, Casablanca and Carlota Barrera.
