Parisian High Waist Shaper in Mohair with Bow Detail
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a parisian high waist shaper around a single idea: bow detail, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for the Philippines and needed parisian 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Mohair was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The high waist shaper was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Bow Detail was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result
- 240 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
- Unit cost held within 2.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Nonprofit Organization launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
