Tailored Men Beige Hoodie in Mohair with Smocked Panel
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a tailored men beige hoodie around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed tailored 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
