Modern Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Cashmere with Bow Detail
Modern Plus Size Competition Swimsuits in Cashmere with Bow Detail
A Cruise Line approached us to develop a modern plus size competition swimsuits around a single idea: bow detail, executed in cashmere. The capsule was destined for Malaysia and needed modern 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
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
