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.

Women’s knitwear collection direction
The development board

Twelve ways to extend the same commercial idea.

The supplied seasonal model combination is used as the reference board. Each direction below represents a practical design or merchandising change for a collection review.

Twelve women’s knitwear styles developed from one reference direction
  1. 01: Original short-sleeve polo
    01Reference style

    Original short-sleeve polo

    The starting point: a short-sleeve polo whose proportions, collar and commercial character anchor the range.

  2. 02: Long-sleeve variation
    02Autumn layer

    Long-sleeve variation

    The same commercial language becomes a warmer long-sleeve style for early autumn deliveries.

  3. 03: V-neck everyday knit
    03Daily essential

    V-neck everyday knit

    A V-neck opening changes the attitude while keeping the fit and yarn direction recognisable.

  4. 04: Stripe fashion update
    04Statement style

    Stripe fashion update

    Graphic stripe placement adds a higher-impact fashion option to the same development family.

  5. 05: Openwork spring knit
    05Spring / summer

    Openwork spring knit

    An openwork structure lightens the handle and introduces a breathable seasonal option.

  6. 06: Sleeveless summer style
    06High summer

    Sleeveless summer style

    Removing the sleeve creates a lighter, layered silhouette for warm-weather merchandising.

  7. 07: Multi-scene cardigan
    07Layering piece

    Multi-scene cardigan

    A cardigan construction expands the range into an easy style for several retail occasions.

  8. 08: Contrast-edge finish
    08Fashion detail

    Contrast-edge finish

    Contrast colour at the neckline and edge gives the core style a sharper visual signature.

  9. 09: Fitted feminine shape
    09Feminine fit

    Fitted feminine shape

    A closer silhouette creates a distinctly feminine option without losing the original identity.

  10. 10: Relaxed casual shape
    10Casual edit

    Relaxed casual shape

    A looser proportion broadens the customer and gives the collection an everyday anchor.

  11. 11: Coordinated knit skirt
    11Matching set

    Coordinated knit skirt

    The knit language extends into a skirt to create a complete coordinated outfit.

  12. 12: Collection hero dress
    12Lead style

    Collection hero dress

    The final extension turns the original idea into a commercial knit dress for the season.
