Designing a High Converting Hero Section for a Luxury Fashion Brand
Project Overview
Noiré is a luxury fashion e-commerce brand offering premium menswear and womenswear with a twist: customers can try on pieces at home before committing to buy.
The brand had a compelling offer, but their initial hero section didn’t reflect that. It felt like any other fashion site with generic headlines, safe imagery, and no clear differentiation.
What Noiré needed was a hero section that sold the experience, not just the clothes. Something that would hook luxury-conscious shoppers, highlight their unique value proposition, and get users exploring the catalog fast.
Pain Point
Noiré was introducing a bold promise: “try before you buy” but it wasn’t being communicated clearly above the fold.
The original hero section:
Used vague, style over substance copy
Focused too heavily on aesthetics, not conversion
Didn’t reflect the inclusive nature of the brand (serving both men and women)
Missed an opportunity to build trust around the unique try-on model
This meant shoppers were bouncing quickly, unsure if this was just another fashion store.
What I Did
I stepped in to redesign Noiré’s hero section to be bold, clear, and conversion driven while keeping the elegance and premium feel the brand stood for.
Our Focus
We honed in on three key areas:
Emotional clarity in messaging
Rewrote the headline to highlight the benefit, not just the offer
Made “Try It On” central, not secondary
Simplified copy to reflect a confident, luxurious tone
Strategic structure
Headline: Hooked with benefit driven language
Subheadline: Explained the model in one line
Dual CTAs: Let users either “Try Noiré” or “ View Collection”
Micro trust elements: Added beneath the CTA to build confidence instantly
Every decision was driven by one core question
“Does this help the shopper say yes faster?”
The Results
The redesigned hero section helped Noiré:
Immediately clarify their unique value above the fold
Create a first impression that felt modern and luxurious
Reduce bounce rate significantly in the first 14 days of launch
Build early trust with shoppers looking for fit-focused fashion experiences
It gave the brand a hero section that matched the ambition of their product and set the tone for the rest of the website.
What I Learned
You don’t need a full site overhaul to tell a strong brand story.
When you're building a brand from scratch, especially in fashion, the first screen does 90% of the talking
If it doesn’t build trust, show value, and invite action, nothing else matters
With Noiré, we proved that one well crafted hero section can
