Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Lexicon: Create a list of approved words and phrases that align with the 'sophisticated,' 'intellectual,' and 'understated' tone (e.g., 'considered,' 'refined,' 'purposeful,' 'curated,' 'erudite,' 'minimal,' 'essential') and a list of words to avoid (e.g., 'intense,' 'extreme,' 'trendy,' 'basic,' overly casual slang).
• •Embrace Subtlety Over Hype: Focus on the intrinsic qualities of the products—materials, cut, thoughtful design—rather than using exaggerated claims or overtly aggressive sales language. Let the quality and aesthetic speak for themselves.
• •Incorporate Cultural & Literary References (Authentically): When naming products or crafting narratives, ensure references are genuine and thoughtfully integrated, not forced. This reinforces the 'literary' aspect of the brand naturally.
• •Maintain Visual-Textual Harmony: Ensure the copy always complements the brand's visual identity (muted palettes, artistic photography). The words should evoke the same feeling as the images—elegant, considered, and refined.
• •Prioritize Clarity and Elegance in Sentence Structure: Use clear, well-constructed sentences. Avoid jargon where possible, or if technical terms are necessary (like fabric types), present them within an elegant and informative context. The writing should feel as meticulously crafted as the garments themselves.
