‘Depop This Look’ connects iconic locations around L.A. to curated fashion looks online

Fashion resale marketplace Depop has launched “Depop This Look,” a campaign from agency Opinionated that involves IRL-meets-digital style inspiration centered on iconic Los Angeles locations. The initiative involved selecting the locations first—they include businesses like Pink’s Hot Dogs and Rainbow Bar & Grill, as well as communities like Venice Beach and Chinatown. QR codes were installed, along with other signage, in those location, leading to a listing of trends, styles and pieces based on that location—as selected by handpicked tastemakers and influencers. For example, Pink’s Hot Dogs currently has new signage as well as a billboard above featuring writer, producer, and comedian Jordan Firstman. Scanning the QR code leads to Firstman’s picks for secondhand and vintage fashion looks inspired by Pink’s. The program runs through May 5. Other partnerships currently live include Quen Blackwell x Neighbors Skateshop, Eunice Chang x Rainbow Bar & Grill, Louisa Meng x Chinatown and Mia Carucci x Club Bahia. There are more on the way. “It's really exciting to collaborate with some of L.A.’s incredible talented individuals and landmark institutions to celebrate that style inspiration is all around us, and that people can explore secondhand and vintage fashion to find what they're looking for,” said Peter Semple, Depop’s chief marketing officer. “Alongside these amazing partners we’re hoping to prompt conversation around the connections between culture and fashion, and encourage everyone to share and discuss the people, communities, places that inspire them to #DepopThisLook.” Mark Fitzloff, founder of Opinionated, said the U.K.-based Depop came to the agency looking to make a bigger impact on the U.S. market. “We wanted to put a positive spin on how revolutionary the idea of Depop is, beyond the obvious sustainability story that's inherent to circular fashion,” he said. “So off of a brief of ‘finding inspiration anywhere,’ we came up with this idea that you can Depop something—that the name is a verb that means you can turn something into a style you can wear. QR codes have had their ups and downs, but there's still something magical about how it connects the physical world with the digital one. So they were the perfect device to turn an everyday location or even an object into a curated look immediately on Depop.” The influencer talent was the last component of the campaign to be developed. “We selected influencers who are authentic to LA culture, fashion culture in particular, and who had a solid Gen Z following,” said Fitzloff. “We then cut the list down by choosing people who's personal styles resonated with the vibe and look of each location. Some of the influencers had closer ties to the location, like Mia Carucci, who had her record release at Club Bahia.” Below, read more about each partnership, as described by Opinionated.
