COLLECTION

‘‘Designed for ourselves and those around us’’ With a holistic approach to business Filippa K is grounded in the energy of combining classic craftsmanship with modern knowledge. In the design, it can often be seen in the juxtaposition of tailoring and modern sportswear, each piece draped by designers in collaboration with seamstresses and pattern cutters.

The offer consists of a womenswear line, a menswear line, shoes and accessories and in addition, the Soft Sport collection. Soft Sport was created with a need for refined activewear in mind.

It’s a collection of luxe, functional and feminine garments for low intense training and travelling that completes the Filippa K offer.

Filippa K´s approach to sustainability is ‘long lasting simplicity’, which inspires the new store concept by paying great attention to the robust material palette. Italian marble and Scandinavian elm wood harmonise with richly tactile linen fabrics in earthy hues and carefully curated modern design classics by Harry Bertoia. The verdant lushness of different varieties of trees, which includes a five-meter tall fig tree in the Amsterdam store window, injects vitality and life. The result is a store concept balancing heavy and light materials and minimalism and warmth.

COMPETITORS COLLECTION

Acne studios, All Saints, Sandro and The Kooples are a competition for Filippa K: the style, vibe, mood and products are similar to what Filippa K offers. Tho, Filippa K has an unique point of view regarding sustainability, this is something that makes the brand differentiate from her competitors.

https://www.acnestudios.com/be/en/home

https://www.allsaints.com

The main difference between Filippa K and her competitors is that the others offer a range of underwear. Tho, their underwear does not fit Filippa K’s values nor identity. Therefor the customer will buy their underwear from a completely different brand.

https://www.thekooples.co.uk

COMPETITORS ONLINE

Filippa K’s brand awareness considering social media is farely low. Filippa K has not reached 200k yet, while her competitors have easily reached over 600k, with Acne as front runner (with over 2.5 million followers) The competitors make more use of testimonials, influencers and tagged posts.

EXPANDING BRAND why lingerie moodboard logo design competitors online strategy steps

How to expand the brand collection, while keeping the vision & mission & core values of the brand alive? The vision of Filippa K is ‘Fashion where sustainability is the guide to growth’, therefor the mission sounds: ‘Ecosystems and planetary boundaries are our inspiration, we want to be part of the solution rather than add to the problem.’

Considering the fact that their vision and mission are not perse conceptual but more practical, their core values are more interesting to keep in mind while thinking about a new strategy.

The core values of Filippa K are: style, simplicity and quality.

What is closer and more personal than garments that are actual close to you: lingerie. The closer it becomes, the more intimate it is, the more value it gains to the individual. Adding value to a product or brand will eventually make sure that the consumer takes care, loves and does not waste garments. In this way, a piece of fabric becomes something real, something you want to admire, something you want to keep close.

Considering the vision and mission of Filippa K, we will continue working with the same fabrics, style, intern and extern production: By using fabrics like recycled polyester, cotton and wool, milk fibre and lyocell. This makes the garments not only comfortable and breathable, but combined with Filippa K’s signature it becomes also feminine, gentle and sophisticated.

COMPETITORS ONLINE

The competitors regarding underwear are much better represented on social media than Filippa K is in general. Tho, The White Briefs is interesting to analyse, due the fact they also ‘just have 12k followers’, and use not only underwear pictures but also inspirational.

https://www.thewhitebriefs.com/pages/info

The combination of inspirational pictures like outdoor, interior design and materials, with images from the actual campaign, the garments and the ‘sales’.

The social media comes across as a inspirational platform for the brand and for the consumers.

They sell both men and women clothing, tho their instagram makes more use of male models, in this way they differentiate themselves from the competitors. https://www.instagram.com/thewhitebriefs_official/

creating a visual attractive campaign for online website creating ecommerce images with different body types

EXAMPLE IMAGES MOOD To explain Filippa’s values without using a literal image off plant-based only, they can use conceptual images with the same marks as their lingerie aswell.

Collaboration with artist who share the same values will also raise awareness on a conceptual level

EXAMPLE SHOOT DIFFERENT AGES To differentiate from the competitors, Filippa K can use not only models with different body types, but also different ages.

Getting inspiration from Peter Lindbergh’s photoshoots, Filippa K can create their own images for the Lingerie capsule collection.

EXAMPLE SOCIAL INFLUENCER REAL BODY These models are well known for the honest and curvy shape, they have a huge amount of followers and can create brand awareness throughout social media. Also, they share the same passion about the environment , by buying sustainable products from eco-friendly brands. They have a certain type of women, aka followers, who are interested in their lives and let themselves be influenced by that.

Filippa K can use these testimonials / influencers to put make the customer aware of the new sustainable lingerie line, which is focussed on a slightly younger target group than only the narrow target group they now reach.
