Elevated Pinnable Half Body Mannequin in Cashmere with Smocked Panel
An Influencer-Led Brand approached us to develop a elevated pinnable half body mannequin around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Malaysia 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

- The pinnable half body mannequin was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Smocked Panel was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

- The an Influencer-Led Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Keep one process owner on both sides. Most delays come from hand-offs, not machines.
