Elevated Met Gala Looks in Tencel with Chunky Chain Strap
A Military Supply Unit approached us to develop a elevated met gala looks around a single idea: chunky chain strap, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Morocco and needed elevated 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built

- Tencel 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.
- Chunky Chain Strap 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
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Military Supply Unit 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.
