Selected Work.

Case studies from a decade of fashion consultancy. Casa Marané, LUCA, Kozha, NADIA GIO, BRÓG, and beyond.

Each project is a different kind of work — some launches, some rebrands, some growth-stage, some category extensions. The constant is depth of involvement. We don’t consult from the margins. We sit inside the work, from concept and design through development, sourcing and into manufacturing.
