Effortless Met Gala Looks in Silk with Delicate Pleating
A Security Company approached us to develop a effortless met gala looks around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in silk. The capsule was destined for Colombia and needed effortless finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
