A premium retail debut elevated through creative ambience, smooth coordination, and a launch experience that left every guest impressed.
Launch Announcement
When Devo by Siyaram’s decided to launch its flagship store in Lucknow, the brand wanted more than just a regular ribbon-cutting event. They wanted a moment that truly captured their identity — stylish, confident, and distinctly modern. The location, right in the heart of Hazratganj, already carried an air of history and charm. Showtime Event took that essence and added its own creative magic to transform it into something memorable.
The idea was clear from the start — to make this launch not just another store opening, but a premium experience that reflected the craftsmanship of Siyaram’s while introducing Devo as a bold, fashion-forward label. From early moodboards to final light testing, every element was planned down to the smallest detail. The Showtime team worked closely with the Devo brand crew for weeks, turning creative ideas into a stunning live experience that felt effortless but was backed by intense preparation.
By the time the doors finally opened, Hazratganj’s busy lanes had a new sparkle. The store stood glowing under soft gold lights, drawing attention from every passerby. It wasn’t just the architecture that spoke; the whole setting carried a quiet sophistication that instantly told people — this was something new, something refined.
The Creative Event Concept
Every Devo by Siyaram’s collection represents understated luxury. The tailoring, the cuts, the fabric textures — everything is about quality that doesn’t need to shout. Showtime built the creative direction around this same idea. The event theme, “Contemporary Elegance”, blended modern minimalism with rich, tactile details inspired by fine suiting fabrics.
The entire design language followed this mood — sleek, structured, and calm. The main entrance was styled in warm metallic tones with a gradient of the brand’s colors. It looked striking under daylight and even more beautiful in the evening glow. Guests walking in immediately felt the sense of refinement that defines Devo.
Inside the store, we focused on flow — how people would move, interact, and experience the space. Ambient lighting shifted gradually through the evening, bringing attention to key display zones while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. The intention was to make the store feel alive, not staged — a place where people could explore at their own pace and genuinely enjoy being there.
Décor, Fabrication & Visual Design
Designing for Hazratganj comes with its own set of challenges. It’s one of Lucknow’s most iconic and crowded shopping streets, so everything had to stand out yet stay tasteful. Showtime designed and fabricated a façade that looked elegant from a distance and detailed up close. It created a visual statement without disturbing the charm of the street.
Instead of heavy décor, we worked with textures and finishes. The setup featured a custom-built front frame that made the store look like a fashion runway entrance. We added subtle brass details, layered lighting, and smooth backdrops inspired by woven suiting patterns. Every prop and structure was custom-built to complement the store’s architecture.
Some of the standout elements included:
- Layered lighting that softly transitioned between warm and cool tones through the evening
- Backdrop panels resembling fabric textures that reflected the craftsmanship of Siyaram’s
- A stylish photo wall featuring the tagline “Define Your Everyday,” designed as an interactive spot for influencer photos
- A ribbon-cutting stage framed with brass-finish pillars, soft floral accents, and a warm glow that balanced natural elegance and luxury
Every visual detail came together like pieces of a story — each reinforcing Devo’s identity and creating a premium brand experience. Guests didn’t just walk into a store; they walked into a mood, a feeling of sophistication that was crafted intentionally by the Showtime team.
Production & On-Ground Execution
While the event looked effortless, it took precise timing, coordination, and long nights of work to make it happen. Our crew had a very tight schedule due to city restrictions in Hazratganj, but Showtime’s on-ground execution team is used to high-pressure environments. From installation to technical rehearsals, everything had to run like clockwork.
Multiple vendors, technical teams, and designers were working together in sync. The store’s frontage was transformed overnight, while lighting, sound, and décor teams prepared in parallel. The event morning started early with final checks — from sound cues to stage arrangements, every element was tested multiple times before guests arrived.
During the event, Showtime’s floor managers handled transitions smoothly — whether it was the lighting during the ribbon cut, timing the background music to match key moments, or ensuring the emcee had seamless coordination with brand representatives. Our goal was to make sure the Siyaram’s team could focus completely on their guests and the media while we managed every behind-the-scenes detail.
Guest Engagement & Event Highlights
When guests began arriving, the energy immediately shifted. The atmosphere was stylish but not overwhelming — elegant, relaxed, and full of curiosity. Fashion enthusiasts, local business figures, and popular style influencers joined the event, creating a lively yet refined buzz inside the store.
To keep the vibe fresh and engaging, we arranged a live saxophone performance that added a classy, modern twist to the evening. It filled the air with soft, jazzy notes that perfectly matched the mood of the collection. Guests moved around freely, browsing the store, trying out the collection, and enjoying the ambience while our service team ensured everyone felt comfortable and cared for.
The food and beverage section was curated with light, flavorful hors d’oeuvres, served in a way that encouraged conversation. Every detail, from plating to presentation, reflected Devo’s aesthetic — simple, tasteful, and well-balanced.
Brand representatives from Siyaram’s appreciated how closely the event mirrored the label’s values. One of the highlights was how naturally guests interacted with the space — people stayed longer than expected, taking photos, talking about the new collection, and sharing posts across social media. Within hours, the event hashtag started trending locally, organically spreading the launch buzz across Lucknow.
“Showtime captured exactly what we wanted — a sophisticated yet inviting launch experience,” said a spokesperson from Siyaram’s.
Outcome & Brand Impact
The launch achieved what every premium retail debut hopes for — attention, admiration, and authenticity. The visual storytelling and ambience resonated with guests, and that connection quickly translated online. In the first 24 hours, the launch visuals and shared posts reached thousands of viewers organically, making Devo’s entry into the Lucknow market both stylish and successful.
Beyond the numbers, it was the overall experience that stood out. The event didn’t just mark the opening of a new store; it positioned Devo as a brand with vision and emotion. Showtime’s precise execution made sure every detail contributed to that larger message — that Devo is here not just to sell clothes, but to define how contemporary Indian style feels.
Showtime’s Commitment
For Showtime, events like this are more than just projects — they’re creative partnerships. Every brand we work with brings a new story to tell, and our job is to bring that story to life through design, rhythm, and emotion. The Devo by Siyaram’s store launch in Hazratganj reflected exactly that philosophy — a mix of planning, passion, and precision.
Our team believes that even the smallest details — the light temperature, the spacing between décor elements, or the timing of a song cue — can make a massive difference to how people feel in a space. When all of that comes together, an event transforms from a setup into an experience.
Whether it’s a flagship launch, a corporate gala, or a large public activation, Showtime ensures that creative ideas and real-world execution come together seamlessly. Our crew’s experience across cities, venues, and scales helps brands make powerful first impressions that truly last.
Conclusion

From the first brainstorming session to the last spotlight fading out, Showtime managed to blend creativity with flawless coordination. The event reminded everyone that great experiences are built not just on visuals but on feelings — how people connect, remember, and talk about them afterward.
As the city’s crowd slowly dispersed that evening and the soft lights of Hazratganj reflected on the glass façade, there was a quiet sense of accomplishment. For Devo, it was the beginning of a new chapter. For Showtime, it was another story of turning vision into reality — one beautiful detail at a time.
