Romantic Rhinestone Dress in Suede with Mother-of-Pearl Buttons
An Independent Fashion Designer approached us to develop a romantic rhinestone dress around a single idea: mother-of-pearl buttons, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Spain and needed romantic 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
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
