Runway-Inspired Candid Women Jeans in Velvet with Feather Trim
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a runway-inspired candid women jeans around a single idea: feather trim, executed in velvet. The capsule was destined for Australia 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- The previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes

- Feather Trim was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
