Brand Extension · Intimate Apparel
A research-driven brand extension proposal exploring how Panache could serve fuller-bust, smaller-waist consumers through proportion-specific engineering rather than simple extended sizing. The project moves through market and consumer research, brand positioning, a full marketing mix, and brand identity work, before resolving into two complete seasonal collections with mood boards, color stories, materials, and finished line sheets — each style fully priced and specified across colorways, fabrication, and key measurements.
