Avant-Garde 80S Fashion Girls Pants in Tulle with Tonal Embroidery
Avant-Garde 80S Fashion Girls Pants in Tulle with Tonal Embroidery
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a avant-garde 80s fashion girls pants around a single idea: tonal embroidery, executed in tulle. The capsule was destined for Kenya and needed avant-garde finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

- The 80s fashion girls pants was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Tonal Embroidery was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

What we would repeat
