What the work needed to connect

Create a refined identity that could retain its delicacy across fashion labels, miniature metal hardware, tactile packaging and large-format retail communication.

Quiet authority

Solenne is positioned through restraint rather than ornament. The identity combines a highly contrasted serif wordmark with an abstract pleated fan, creating a visual language that feels composed, feminine and architectural without becoming fragile.

Resolving the mark at the point of touch

The pleated emblem and spacious wordmark are isolated before the smaller garment details and packaging. Campaign and retail studies then increase the scale, showing how the same restraint can frame both objects and people.

A mark built from rhythm

The emblem turns repeated fine lines into a compact fan-like form. Its symmetry suggests precision and ceremony, while the rising centre gives it lift. Paired with the spacious wordmark, it remains distinctive at both editorial and object scale.

Luxury at the point of touch

The system was resolved for the moments customers handle most closely: labels, buttons, zipper pulls, buckles, cards and garment boxes. Consistent spacing and restrained finishes allow each object to feel related without becoming repetitive.

An editorial wardrobe

Campaign imagery presents confident, mature women in luminous architectural settings. Cream, olive, brown, cobalt and red give the collection breadth, while clean silhouettes and soft natural light keep the visual world consistently poised.

From object to environment

The identity expands cleanly into retail communication. Spacious layouts, warm ivory fields and full-length portraiture preserve the same quiet confidence seen in the packaging and garment details, even at architectural scale.

What I take from this direction

A delicate emblem only becomes a system when it can travel across scale. The presentation connects miniature hardware, tactile packaging and larger fashion imagery through spacing, finish and a consistent visual rhythm.
