For the latest in hip-hop and urban trends, people look to Jimmy Jazz for the hottest sneakers, clean-lined styles, and most up-to-date street fashions. Jimmy Jazz offers the name brands that women, men and kids crave and now award-winning web design firm, Avatar New York (www.avatarnewyork.com), has been awarded the website design project for JimmyJazz.com. This unique partnership will give shoppers even more accessibility to this upscale urban-wear store that already has over 65 stores on the east coast. The site will highlight Jimmy Jazz's cool urban aesthetic with complimentary features that promote street-savvy lifestyles.

Any fashion aficionado will tell you that it's not just the clothes and sneakers you wear, it's the attitude you carry. Avatar New York is set to build not only a customized e-commerce site carrying all the latest in footwear, hoodies, tees, jeans, outerwear and accessories, but JimmyJazz.com will have many features that keep people connected with urban lifestyle through new media.

With a blog section that promises to keep readers informed about fashion trends, music icons, and the most noteworthy news stories, Avatar New York is collaborating with the retailer to make JimmyJazz.com the go-to site for all things media, entertainment, news, and fashion. Avatar New York will also customize a Jimmy Jazz video player where viewers can watch recent in-store events, fashion shows and other urban essentials.

David Wachter, VP for eCommerce for the specialty retailer, had this to say about Avatar New York, "We went through an exhaustive search for the right web design and technology group to collaborate with on this exciting and very ambitious project. We found 'best in class' with Avatar New York, and look forward to partnering with them on an award-winning web site."

Avatar New York is proud to be creating a green-produced site for JimmyJazz.com, as they were recently accredited by the Green-e Marketplace. Being awarded this opportunity, Avatar New York has yet again proven its broad ability to provide excellent design and technology services to suit the needs of not only an online retailer, but also the growing community it hopes to create online and out in the streets.

The web-store and lifestyle section are expected to be launched in spring 2009.
