Dolce Vita | Creative Director + Design

The primary objective was to transition the brand from a standard e-commerce storefront into a premium, editorial-driven fashion destination. The project involved a comprehensive overhaul of the site’s architecture, prioritizing a mobile-first user interface that mirrored the fluid navigation of social media. By integrating high-fidelity prototyping with a refined design system, the new platform successfully combined aesthetic sophistication with high-conversion functionality, ensuring a seamless shopping experience across all devices.

The creative direction centered on "editorialized commerce," moving away from traditional catalog imagery in favor of dynamic visual storytelling. This approach focused on capturing the brand’s unique identity—a blend of urban edge and effortless elegance—through directed photoshoots for marketing collateral and aligned product photography. The redesign enhanced consumer confidence and strengthened the brand's visual authority in the contemporary market.

To ensure a cohesive brand identity, the relaunch extended into a 360-degree execution of marketing collateral and physical touchpoints. This included the design of high-impact digital campaigns, automated email journeys, and a complete reimagining of the physical unboxing experience using sustainable materials. Furthermore, key brand pillars such as size inclusivity and environmental responsibility were woven directly into the site's functionality. The final result was a unified brand ecosystem that elevated Dolce Vita’s market presence while driving measurable growth in customer engagement and loyalty.
