Project Overview

As the creative director and brand designer for Victoria Tom, I collaborated with brand strategist Sádé Budhlall to redefine the brand’s identity, ensuring it remained true to its core values of thoughtful, versatile clothing inspired by the Caribbean. Victoria Tom seamlessly blends minimalist sophistication with a slow fashion approach, creating garments that resonate with both elegance and purpose. Our mission was to visually represent this philosophy across all touchpoints of the brand. 

The Idea

The rebranding strategy focused on balancing minimalism and purpose. We developed a logo with clean lines reflecting Victoria Tom’s dedication to simplicity and substance. The typography emphasized clarity and elegance without unnecessary embellishment, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to slow, thoughtful fashion. 

Drawing inspiration from the lush landscapes and vibrant cultures of the Caribbean, we crafted a brand identity that feels both modern and timeless. The color palette was carefully selected to reflect the spirit of the Caribbean while maintaining a sense of refined sophistication. The photography style showcases the pieces in both empty studio spaces and natural environments, allowing the clothing to take center stage. Lighting played an essential role in enhancing the textures and details of the garments, with a focus on portrait and abstract shots to reflect the brand’s minimal yet sophisticated ethos. 

Execution

  • Brand Strategy: Collaborated with Sádé Budhlall to develop a comprehensive branding strategy that highlighted Victoria Tom’s unique positioning in the fashion world. This involved strategic planning for communication and execution, ensuring a cohesive and impactful brand presence. 
  • Brand Identity: Designed a logo embodying a balance between minimalism and purpose, with clean lines and manipulated letterforms to reinforce the brand’s commitment to slow, thoughtful fashion. The typography complements this approach, emphasizing clarity and elegance. 
  • Web Design: Developed an elegant and user-friendly website that mirrors the physical essence of the brand. The interface features seamless navigation, highlighting the brand’s collections and embodying Victoria Tom’s dedication to slow fashion. Each page offers visitors a clear and engaging experience that reflects the brand’s identity.
