Concept, Fashion Brand Strategy, Brand DNA and Values

WHAT WE DO

When it comes to fashion branding strategy, it’s clear that customers are looking for a concept with a message that resonates with them. As with politics, every aspect of fashion has been questioned. There is a general sense of disillusionment and distrust, and customers today are looking for transparency and honesty. They are inundated with so many products while the time for decision-making continues to decrease, so clarity of message is paramount.

You must have a purpose and key principles in order to build the story of that message. If you look at the fashion businesses that are thriving, they’re the ones with authenticity shining through.

We help brands create unique foundations that form their core brand DNA and values. We believe that brands that lack purpose and emotional connection with their products will be judged on price alone. Our services include competitor analysis, brand copywriting, right through to brand identity, and visual brand concept development.

CASE STUDY-PETIT TRIBE

Working closely with brand owner Nigerian born entrepreneur Olatoun Jolaoso, we created from concept to launch, a brand new, print-based collection of luxury children’s wear 0-12 years which launched online in February 2015.

We created a collection of contemporary silhouettes more commonly seen on adults than children. The fabrics and textures and colour palettes, unusual and distinct, contrasted with the muted sophisticated branding. Inspired by the Fulani Tribes, but mixed with a truly global feel Petit Tribe’s originality was soon noticed and became a huge hit with buyers and press.

RESULT

Within a year of launch, Petit Tribe became Smallish Magazine Design Award Best Newcomer 2015 and the first ever children’s brand to win a Vogue Italy/Yoox New Talents Award 2016. We had 100% success rate of product placement with bloggers and fashion influencers who became fans of the brand. Olatoun’s goal to dress Beyoncé’s children was realised in 2018.
