Contemporary Elegant Evening Dresses in Merino Wool with Covered Buttons
A Government Agency approached us to develop a contemporary elegant evening dresses around a single idea: covered buttons, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed contemporary 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
