Development Story / Cross-category

One Collection. One Working Team.

How we coordinated knit and woven development so the collection stayed aligned from start to finish.

Knitwear + WovenCollection DevelopmentCross-category

Challenge

More categories usually mean more coordination.

The client was developing knit tops, woven shirts and pants for one collection. Managing multiple suppliers would have created duplicated communication, different timelines and inconsistent decisions.

What We Reviewed

We looked at the collection as a whole.

We aligned on key factors across categories to ensure a consistent direction and timeline.

  • Product Categories: Knit tops, woven shirts, pants
  • Material Calendar: Yarn and fabric timing
  • Sampling Timeline: Aligned development schedule
  • Delivery Plan: One coordinated production plan

What We Did

We treated the styles as one development program, not separate orders.

One team managed material sourcing, sampling and production, keeping all categories aligned.

Collection Plan: Style and material direction
Knit + Woven Development: Parallel sampling
Coordinated Sampling: Fit and construction review
Aligned Revisions: Across categories
Production: One delivery plan

The Result

  • Fewer Supplier Touchpoints
  • One Development Calendar
  • Aligned Sampling & Revisions
  • Clearer Communication

What Made It Work

  • One team across categories
  • Shared material calendar
  • Single delivery plan
