Case Study: "Culture & Couture": Crafting a Disruptive Brand Identity for a Stylist Power Duo
Monica Morrow & Boz Bradshaw: When it came to building a brand identity for a dynamic stylist duo with a rich history in the urban fashion scene, our challenge was twofold. Firstly, we needed to translate their unique blend of fashion rebellion and cultural infusion into a visual identity. Secondly, we needed to position them in a market saturated with stylist services yet lacking their particular brand of innovative edginess.

POSITIONING
With our stylist duo's clear differentiation in the market, we positioned them as pioneers of a fashion revolution. They were not just stylists, they were disruptors - a notion that we reinforced in all brand communications. To resonate with their target audience, we used urban and edgy language in all our written content. We took special care to avoid typical fashion jargon and instead, adopted the language of rebellion and audacity.
DESIGN
When it came to the website design, we needed to encapsulate the stylist duo's disruptive and bold approach while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic that would appeal to the duo's target demographic.
The website design was characterized by a clean, crisp layout that accentuated the bold visuals. Each stylist's iconic work was showcased in a dynamic portfolio section, capturing transformative moments in their careers through high-quality images and engaging narratives. This was complemented by the striking use of typography. Bold fonts were used to emphasize the duo's audacious approach, contrasting against the minimalist design elements to make the content pop.
The color scheme was deliberately monochromatic, punctuated by bold pops of color to mirror the duo's style approach. This balance between restraint and rebellion, sophistication and street edge, encapsulated the essence of their brand. A series of subtle animations and interactive elements were also integrated to create an immersive, modern user experience, ensuring that the website was not only a representation of the duo's work but also a testament to their forward-thinking approach.
Every design choice was deliberate and strategic, contributing to a cohesive, compelling brand narrative that is unmistakably 'Culture & Couture'.
APPROACH
Our first step involved gaining a deep understanding of our clients' unique styling process, which revolved around three key elements: Vision, Versatility, and Vibrancy. We distilled these concepts into a succinct and powerful tagline, "Defining the Edge of Style," that encapsulated their brand essence. The pair's nickname name, "Culture & Couture," was born out of a desire to showcase the stylist duo's ability to merge high fashion elements with streetwear staples, creating an edgy yet elegant look that defies traditional style norms.
OUTCOME
Through the combination of their disruptive brand identity and edgy market positioning, our stylist duo stands out in the crowded fashion industry. Their unique brand narrative, coupled with their distinctive visual identity, has successfully engaged their target audience and positioned them as the go-to stylist duo for those who dare to defy the norm. Their brand "Culture & Couture" is a true testament to their stylistic prowess, shaping a new era in the fashion landscape.
The journey of crafting the brand identity for our stylist duo showcased the importance of deeply understanding a client's unique selling proposition and translating it into a visual identity that resonates with the target audience. It is a prime example of how an innovative approach to branding can disrupt industry norms and set a brand apart in a saturated market.
