Showcasing Hikerkind - Where technical performance meets timeless style.✂️✨

We partnered with to bring their vision to life—creating meticulously crafted hiking gear designed specifically for women. Every piece considers movement and is built to last while staying true to their signature aesthetic: modern, functional, and effortlessly stylish.

Great gear isn’t just about getting outside—it’s about feeling like yourself while doing it.🏔️

Excited to showcase the results of our team’s hard work in developing high-performance skiwear for .

From concept to creation, every detail was designed to keep you warm, dry, and moving freely, featuring a layering system built for even the harshest winter conditions. Our goal was to create a line that delivers superior performance, adapts to varying conditions, and looks as great as it functions.

As a bonus, the colors were thoughtfully selected for versatility, longevity, and visibility, making safety paramount and coordination effortless. Innovation, functionality, and style come together here to craft gear that works just as hard as you do on the slopes. 🏔️✨

From optimizing fabric performance to ensuring weatherproofing and perfecting the fit, we’re dedicated to turning concepts like this into apparel that truly excels.

Introducing Vacation Molly!

As a part of our founder series we are talking to clients who persevered and got their brand to market. We loved catch phrase "Life is a Vacation" and asked how does the brand identity center around the statement!

We've recently completed the design process for women'wear, resort and swimwear for SP25. Here are TWO overarching trends that fueled our innovation and resonated with our clients in the category 💣 

This year, we're excited to welcome two new clients to our roster: one emerging brand and one established UK based brand that has entrusted their design team to us 🤗

**Natalia's prolific sketching has filled our walls with a thousand designs. Get ready for her soon-to-be-revealed insights into her process✔️

Trend #1: SILK-Inspired Knits

We're seeing a shift towards elegant knitwear, drawing inspiration from luxurious silk textures -  from satin shimmering knits to crepes with stretch and chiffon-like meshes -  there's a desire to transition away from activewear knits (flat and smooth) towards fashion-inspired knits that offer the same standards of comfort. The look is modern elegance, which fuses evening and daytime aesthetics as a fresh take on the category. 

Trend #2: Easy Wear Elegance 

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we predict a surge in ballerina-inspired designs, goddess-like silhouettes, corset detailing, and elegant coordinated sets. The focus is on relaxed silhouettes that complement the female form - slender skimming tops with full skirts at sweeping lengths. The look is flirty elegant day-wear, seamlessly blending the sophistication of home entertaining with the relaxed vibe of poolside lounging.

Developing a garment or product with verified NEW Performance Claims or Care Standards can significantly boost market appeal, particularly for emerging brands seeking visibility and product momentum.

Over the past decade working in apparel development we have found that even large established brands lack the expertise (and internal processes) necessary to conduct scientific tests and interpret results for fabric or product innovation creating a WINDOW of opportunity for motivated new brands. Proper verification of claims not only serve as an exciting endeavor for brand-building confidence internally but also boost customer confidence- positioning the brand as an innovation leader and a superior choice in the market.
