Editorial Toddler Display Form in Suede with Sculptural Draping
Editorial Toddler Display Form in Suede with Sculptural Draping
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a editorial toddler display form around a single idea: sculptural draping, executed in suede. The capsule was destined for Austria and needed editorial 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
- Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Suede was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The toddler display form was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Sculptural Draping was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result
- 400 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 3.0% of the approved quotation.
- The a Marathon Organizer launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
