Designer Met Gala Looks in Cashmere with Crystal Embellishment
A Nonprofit Organization approached us to develop a designer met gala looks around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed designer 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
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- 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.
- Cashmere was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The met gala looks was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Crystal Embellishment 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
- 900 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Nonprofit Organization launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
