Avant-Garde Elegant Evening Dresses in Cashmere with Feather Trim
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a avant-garde elegant evening dresses around a single idea: feather trim, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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 sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
