From one reference sample
to 12 commercial styles.

Keep the core commercial elements of a successful reference while expanding it into a range with different price points, silhouettes and seasonal roles.

One source. More useful options.

Build a range around
what already works.

Our development process starts with the sample, photo or brief you already have. We identify the details that make it commercially useful, then test where the same idea can travel across seasons and customer needs.
