Sculptural Elegant Evening Dresses in Merino Wool with Chunky Chain Strap
Sculptural Elegant Evening Dresses in Merino Wool with Chunky Chain Strap
A Logistics Provider approached us to develop a sculptural elegant evening dresses around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for China and needed sculptural 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

What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
