Runway-Inspired Boys Elastic Waist Jeans in Crochet with Bow Detail
A Boutique Fitness Studio approached us to develop a runway-inspired boys elastic waist jeans around a single idea: bow detail, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for France and needed runway-inspired 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window

What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
