_how
merry angel, the founder & head of ecodeco, emailed us recently with plans for her new website that would coincide with ecodeco's move into the new york jewelry scene. immediately we set to work creating designs in collboration with a manga artist who works for merry in tokyo. the plan was to bring the manga character, merry angel, to life & to present the ecodeco brand in a whole new light. merry paid very close attention to every last detail of the production & the result is a very original & visually gorgeous production. watch out for secrets !

_what
website for a vietnam-based high fashion company, ipa-nima.
_how

christina yu, owner and founder of ipa-nima, contacted us with the desire to improve her current web presence and to create a site which would not only market her products in a organized and user friendly fashion, but also deliver a rather conceptual 'ipa-nima' experience to each one of her buyers.

in studying christina's work and seeing the complexity of her designs, it was very clear to us that this was certainly not an aesthetic that we needed to 'further develop & add to'. we decided instead to pull from the exisiting design elements & use them as the aesthetic foundation for the site. the end result is an organic site composition which focuses on surprising the viewer & fluidly growing as one progresses through the site.

_what
website for new york-based vintage clothing store, frock
_how
frock's old website was created and updated by them using dreamweaver. whilst it had its charms it was mostly a hinderance to keep up to scratch and suffered from serious UI issues. the site also completely lacked any kind of e-commerce element. 

we proposed using shopify as their store solution. we'd never implemented it before, but it turned out to be the most easy to use, setup and customize e-commerce solution that we've ever come across. 

given frock were purveyors of 60s - 80s  vintage clothing, we decide to base the site's design on the 80s robert palmer music video for addicted to love. the result is a very simple, geometrical, full-bleed fashion photo-based site design, that keeps everything big, fun, simple and with a predominant focus on the colours of the clothing.
