Chelsea spoke to us over Zoom from America with one clear goal: to create a brand of high calibre handmade fashion items that could be worn with pride as quality casual and alternative business wear.
Through our Brand Strategy, it became clear Chelsea was passionate about 3 things: designing with the African-American community in mind, sustainability, and the freedom for self-expression through fashion.
This gave us the opportunity to direct her brand away from the sharp, metallic, serious style of many of her competitors, and into something that felt warm, free and expressive, with a very subtle exploration of both African and modern American patterns and colours.
The brand incorporates sustainabilty, freedom and warmth through earthy colours, handwritten typography, and bold graphical elements. The brand voice and marketing strategy are built on optimism, inclusivity, and freedom of expression.
We made the brand identity uniquely hers by hiding her initials in the logo, blending in an unusual purple colour, which held a lot of meaning for her, and incorporating magnolia leaves - the state flower of her home, Mississipi.
"I needed help with creating my brand book and Marcus was an amazing help with it. He helped me create a concise voice, a beautiful logo design, and other design elements. Before I asked for his help my brand was only fragments in my head but he found a way to piece them together. He listened to me... and he went far and beyond my expectations"
