Ares & Hera home page hero: a model in a rose T-shirt, crafted for the connoisseurs of luxury

01 — Context

The client, and what I was asked to design.

The client

Ares & Hera is a Sri Lankan clothing brand founded in 2023. It draws on the Greek myths of Ares and Hera: strength and beauty, and the interplay of masculine and feminine.

Its collections are made for every gender identity and background, under one idea, modest luxury. The store hasn't launched yet.

The brief

I designed the online store in Figma, for desktop and mobile. A selection of the pages is shown below.

The clothes are photographed on a quiet grey, so the design steps back: warm neutrals, generous space and a single dark accent, with the two collections, Ares and Hera, each given its own chapter on the home page.

02 — Selected pages

A few pages from the redesign, top to bottom.

Each page sits in its own window. Scroll inside one to move through the design from top to bottom.

Page 01

Home

More lookbook than catalogue: a full-bleed hero, featured products, then a chapter each for the Ares and Hera collections, reviews and a newsletter.

About

The brand's story, its values and a way to get in touch, told with the same quiet photography.

Product

One piece and nothing else: a gallery of angles, size and colour, add to cart, then the top sellers.

03 — Selected screens

A few screens from the mobile design.

Each screen sits in its own phone. Scroll or swipe inside one to move through it; the tab bar stays put, as it would on a device.
