Westfield UK is set to host a live two-hour shopping event – ‘Summer Styled’ on its newly launched UK TikTok account (@westfield) on 29th April, and will be the first physical retail destination to launch a LIVE Shopping event on TikTok Shop in the UK.
Filmed live from a Westfield London studio between 4pm and 6pm, the exclusive shopping event leads Westfield’s spring/summer fashion campaign as it looks to introduce an innovative, fun and new way to shop as consumers seek to transition their wardrobes for the new season ahead.
TikTok Shop is a fully integrated commerce experience that empowers merchants to sell directly on TikTok, introducing the ability for retailers to reach their audiences via in-feed videos and livestreams on the platform and showcase their products on TikTok profile pages. It is envisaged this will open upnew avenues and will allow Westfield’s retailers to sell items directly on TikTok during the LIVE event. The Summer Styled will be hosted by popular reality star and content creator, Amber Gill, alongside TikTok Shop presenter, Saskia Marriott(@saskiamarriottpresents).
