Avant-Garde Formal Evening Dresses in Merino Wool with Bow Detail
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a avant-garde formal evening dresses around a single idea: bow detail, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for Thailand 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 challenge
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

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