Boutique Red Carpet Dresses in Suede with Crystal Embellishment
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a boutique red carpet dresses around a single idea: crystal embellishment, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Hong Kong and needed boutique 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
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
