01 — The Challenge

02 — Our Approach

What we decided, and why.

Decision 01

Editorial over catalogue

Rather than a standard product grid, we designed each product reveal as a full-viewport editorial moment. Scroll pacing is controlled by Lenis to give a weighted, paper-like feel. The product comes first — pricing and sizing are revealed only after the visual impact lands.

Decision 02

High-contrast as a brand system

Pure black (#0e0d11) against bone white and a single crimson accent is not minimalism for its own sake — it is a deliberate restriction. Every colour used on the site exists in the physical garments. The constraint makes the brand feel coherent across digital and physical touchpoints.

Decision 03

GSAP for non-linear transitions

CSS transitions can not sequence multi-element choreography reliably. GSAP timelines let us precisely synchronise the title, image reveal, and price tag appearing in a specific cinematic order — the kind of micro-detail that separates luxury from commodity in a browser.
