Contemporary Lace Underpants in Silk with Padded Shoulder
Contemporary Lace Underpants in Silk with Padded Shoulder
An Event Management Company approached us to develop a contemporary lace underpants around a single idea: padded shoulder, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Nigeria 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

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