Chic Red Carpet Dresses in Merino Wool with Fringe Trim
A Beauty Salon Chain approached us to develop a chic red carpet dresses around a single idea: fringe trim, executed in merino wool. The capsule was destined for South Africa and needed chic 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
- Fabric hand feel changed between production runs
- The sample did not match the runway reference
