When friends Dan Gosling, Luke Harwood and Marc Moore established their fashion brand Stolen Girlfriends Club, they did so without formal training in fashion, giving them an edge in an industry steeped in trend replication.

Applying their inspired edgy style to the considered fashion norm, the three surfies established their eclectic brand that has expanded into three stores in New Zealand, their latest being in the heart of New Zealand’s capital, Wellington.

As Client-Side Project Manager of their latest store, Tailor Inc worked alongside Stolen Girlfriends brand partners Alt Group, architect; Jasmax and Dimension Shopfitters to ensure the finished store exceeded the client’s expectations.

“Taking on the brand’s independent personality and facilitating the unique and bespoke design did have some challenges,” says Tailor Inc’s Project Manager, Elaine Joyce. “However, achieving the extraordinary often releases the exceptional, evidenced in the finished store.”

With many of the finishes wrapped in textured foil sitting in stark contrast to the moody back interior, you would be hard-pressed not to think you were about to enter a rave, but this is the success of Stolen Girlfriends Club; not everything is what it seems.

Property Strategy: The heart and the start

Strategy is the heart and driver of each of our projects. Correct and comprehensive planning is the key to unlock varied property opportunities. Every project is unique. Only by asking ‘What?’ and ‘Why?’ can we then determine the ‘How?’

We begin by gaining a clear understanding of your business and goals. We gather information, and above all, listen before we strategise and brainstorm collaboratively. It means our strategic thinking is founded on real problems or opportunities, so the resulting projects will deliver true value to your business.

Commercial Design: Beauty that means business

Is it beautiful if it isn’t functional? We don’t think so. That’s why your project won’t just meet your brand aspirations now and in the future, it will deliver on your functional needs. You’ll have the benefit of our team’s diverse and innovative perspectives from their varied design backgrounds, an agile design process to explore multiple avenues and our collaborative approach. Good design is a journey that begins with listening and understanding, so we arrive at a solution that perfectly suits your business. We have experience working on the workplace, retail, food and beverage, hotel and multi-storey residential projects.

Project Management: The delivery’s in the detail

Your unique understanding of how your project will drive value for your business – that’s where we start. Then we look past the obvious to extract that intrinsic value. Part of that is allowing a project to evolve during its life cycle, with firm change management to avoid scope creep, overspending and time-wasting. Together we can help you understand how to work within cost and time constraints while retaining maximum flexibility.

At every step, we focus on solutions, leveraging our creative background, collective experience and network of consultants to manage time, cost, quality and scope.
