About this project

CARISSA ROSE - Fit, Value and Confidence.

With your help, Carissa Rose is designing a new line for Summer 2012 - Structured Knit Tops, with the mission of empowering women.


ANTONIA V-NECK TOP:  vertical pleats on the bodice give this the illusion effect of lengthening and slimming the torso.  Available in Chocolate and Sangria.

BIANCA HENLEY TOP:  woven collar, placket and cuffs in tonal  broadcloth.  Available in Grape and Onyx (black).

The Concept - Empowering women with fit, value and confidence.

We design a revolutionary line of clothing for women by focusing on the bust to waist ratio and using a disruptive fit model based on our own empirical data from hundreds of fit sessions and the most current Body Mass Index research.  With two distinct proportion fits that address a range of body shapes, we sell a quasi custom fit at a fraction of the price.
