The Mandate

Following acquisition, Parker required a full repositioning to rebuild brand equity while protecting quality, margin, and speed-to-market. The goal was to honor heritage, attract new customers, and unify Dresses and Sportswear into one cohesive seasonal product strategy across channels.

Impact

  • 88–92% sell-through on hero styles

  • 12–18% first-week sell-through on top Fall styles

  • Sustained full-price performance at $180–$200 AUR

  • Improved margin $4–$10 per unit through vendor negotiation and cost engineering

  • Maintained ~55% average IMU while protecting construction and finish

  • Expanded distribution across 3 strategic retail partners, with two Macy’s Herald Square window features and a strengthened Nordstrom partnership

Approach

  • Established seasonal direction and category guardrails across Dresses + Sportswear under a single point of view

  • Built channel-aware line architecture without compromising brand cohesion

  • Built a visual brand system (logo architecture, color, material standards, placement rules) to ensure consistency across touchpoints

  • Led fit direction and approvals across categories under compressed seasonal calendars

  • Standardized technical documentation (BOMs, CADs, construction standards) and managed vendors to protect quality at target costs
