STORY Presents “Remember When”

09 Ago 2016, 00:00 AM EDT

Relive the ’90s with Nickelodeon: Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, Double
Dare and More

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–STORY, New York’s ever-changing concept store, unveils “Remember When,”
an immersive retro experience that celebrates Nickelodeon’s
iconic shows and memorable characters from the ‘90s, timed to the 25^th
anniversary of Nickelodeon animation. Open August 5 – September 18,
“Remember When” is the 31st installation for STORY and takes a nostalgic
look back at the decade that gave birth to the Rugrats, dial-up
Internet and leggings as pants. To bring the ‘90s “back to life, back to
reality,” STORY has teamed up with over 25 brands on items that
celebrate the spirit of ‘90s Nickelodeon–from a pair of Double Dare-inspired
Keds and a stonewash denim jacket by Gap, to Rolex watches customized by
Bamford Watch Department.

“Remember When” takes visitors back to the future through the lens of a
yearbook, set against a backdrop that features portraits of beloved ‘90s
Nick characters reimagined by New York illustrator Charlotte Fassler on
the STORY wall. The experience is centered on five clubs that highlight
fan-favorite Nickelodeon shows and other elements of ‘90s culture:

HOMEROOM: Where it all starts. Celebrate the legacy of
Nickelodeon through products that feature a mash-up of beloved ‘90s
characters and give back with brands like State
Bags and Out
of Print.
BESTIES: Remembering Nickelodeon’s iconic duos.
DOUBLE DARE: Hit prints and patterns from Crshr
and Boardies
inspired by Nickelodeon’s ultimate ‘90s game show Double Dare
and iconic green Slime.
CITY KIDS: Hey Arnold!-inspired pieces that play to the
home crowd.
YEARBOOKERS: The ’90s were all that, from your favorite candy
to must-have nostalgic picks.

“Consumer demand for ’90s Nickelodeon is off the charts and we are
excited to introduce an exclusive new line of products based on our most
popular shows to celebrate this iconic chapter of our history,” said Pam
Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President, Consumer Products,
Nickelodeon. “We think STORY is the perfect partner to kick off our new
consumer products program and Nickelodeon fans are really going to love
it.”

STORY will extend the “Remember When” experience outside its walls for
the first time through additional brick-and-mortar and online retail
partnerships with Los Angeles-based retailer RON ROBINSON and
NeimanMarcus.com, giving consumers outside of New York the opportunity
to join the fun. From August 18 to September 18, RON ROBINSON will host
a STORY “Remember When”-themed shop-in-shop in its Santa Monica store
and feature an edited selection of the limited-edition product.

“The nostalgia that this collaboration with Nickelodeon evokes is
energizing. I told my staff about this project and they, each one, went
into their list of which characters and shows they were fond of. It’s
been exhilarating for me to work together with Rachel and her team at
STORY, they are true masters!!! Our teams have worked seamlessly
together. I am looking forward to the celebration at RON ROBINSON on
August 18,” shares Ron Robinson, Founder & CEO, RON ROBINSON.

Neiman Marcus will highlight key collaborations with an online extension
of “Remember When” on their website, NeimanMarcus.com,
for a limited time starting August 24 through September 18. This marks
the first time STORY’s themed concepts will be available online and also
serves as a first for many of the brands to have their items sold at
Neiman Marcus.

“We are thrilled to partner with Rachel and her great team to bring
STORY to Neiman Marcus. We love her innovative approach to product,
marketing and the customer experience, and believe that we can
collaborate in a very exciting way to showcase the unexpected for our
clients–starting with an introduction of her ‘90s icon story on our
website,” said Jim Gold, President, Chief Merchandising Officer, Neiman
Marcus.

Those in New York will be able to enjoy the full flashback force of the
partnership through a series of playful in-store experiences. Double
Dare fans can step up to the podium for photo opportunities and the
most daring will be able to take a physical challenge on the hamster
wheel from the original obstacle course. A display designed by Perch
Interactive will showcase behind-the-scenes interviews with many of
the creators of Nickelodeon’s animated series, while an in-store selfie
station will give visitors an opportunity to get digitally Slimed
through a custom interactive photo experience designed by Foxtales.
Finally, Time Travel Radio, created by Jamie Carreiro, a Creative and
Tech Director at PARTY
NYC, has curated the top hit songs from 1990-1999, so fans can
relive the decade via music.
