Elevated Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Sequined Knit with Bow Detail
Elevated Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Sequined Knit with Bow Detail
A Golf Club approached us to develop a elevated plus size competition swimsuits around a single idea: bow detail, executed in sequined knit. The capsule was destined for South Africa 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
