Brand's Promise:

When working on the branding project for Empress Apparel, we knew that it was essential to create a strong brand promise that would resonate with the brand's target audience. As part of this effort, we developed the slogan and promise of "Discover the real cashmere" for Empress Apparel's cashmere collection.

‍

This slogan and promise were developed in response to the brand's desire to highlight the quality of their cashmere products. Empress Apparel is known for using only the highest quality cashmere in their products, and we wanted to ensure that this message was clearly communicated to their customers.

‍

To develop the slogan and promise, we first conducted research into the cashmere market, identifying key trends and messages that were resonating with consumers. We also worked closely with Empress Apparel to understand their unique selling proposition and the key features and benefits of their cashmere products.

‍

Using this research and insight, we developed the slogan and promise of "Discover the real cashmere." This promise was designed to speak directly to the brand's target audience, conveying a sense of exclusivity and luxury while also highlighting the quality and authenticity of Empress Apparel's cashmere products.

‍

To further reinforce this message, we developed a range of marketing materials and assets that highlighted the brand's commitment to quality and authenticity. This included high-quality product photography, detailed product descriptions, and messaging that focused on the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into each piece.

Visual Branding:

Empress Apparel is a luxury clothing company that combines historical apparel with modern elements. We wanted to create a logo and typography that reflected this unique blend of old and new while conveying a sense of luxury and elegance. Our goal was to develop a design that would help the brand stand out in the market and resonate with their target audience.

‍

To begin the logo design process, we started by conducting research into the brand's values, mission, and target audience. We also looked at their competitors to identify what was currently in the market and what we could do to differentiate the brand from the competition.

‍

We decided to go with a logo that featured the word Empress, but with a unique twist. We split the word into two parts, "emp" and "pres", to create a more memorable and distinctive logo. The word "Emp" and "Pres" are written in an unique font called Brown Sugar.

‍

The color palette we chose for the logo and branding was subtle nudes and browns. This color palette conveyed a sense of luxury and sophistication while being understated and elegant. We wanted the colors to be able to stand the test of time and not be too trendy or overly flashy.

‍

For the typography, we decided to mix serif and sans-serif fonts. This helped to convey a sense of history and tradition, while also being modern and attractive to younger consumers. We chose a serif font for the main body text, as it added a touch of elegance and sophistication. We used a sans-serif font for headings and subheadings, which gave a modern feel.

‍

Overall, the design of the logo and typography for Empress Apparel was focused on creating a distinctive and memorable brand identity that reflects the brand's unique blend of history and modernity. By using a combination of serif and sans-serif fonts and a subtle color palette, we were able to create a design that is both elegant and modern while being able to stand the test of time.
