A Mining Company approached us to develop a effortless red carpet dresses around a single idea: delicate pleating, executed in satin. The capsule was destined for Italy and needed effortless finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
