KIPSTA - Decathlon- Fashion design - 2012

 

These projects were develloped at Kipsta brand of Decathlon group in 2012.

 

I have been asked to devellop a range of products from low to higher prices according to a level of practice of rugby, soccer and underwear (men/women/kids included).

 

I worked on fashion design as well as hard products and advanced research for innovation. My job was to design these product but also prototype some of them and to ensure their feasability with the pattern designer. I was also in charge of the validation of the samples received by the production leader and had to go to the factory once in a while to make sure the design was respected.

 

Decathlon is a sports equipment company that spread 723 stores in the world for a turnover of 7.4 billion euros in 2014.These products were launched in every stores in 2014 and will be replaced by the one I am currently working on in september 2015. Some of them have been produced in 25 000 to 30 000 pieces.

 

So far, the customer response has been really satisfying and their popularity are visible through the clients marks on the Decathlon website.
