BRIEF
Identify a gap in the market and develop a brand identity that redefines how people connect with everyday objects.

CONCEPT & APPROACH
The creative direction for CLIO centred on customisation as self-expression. Designed to challenge fast fashion, CLIO introduces a charm-ready claw clip with drilled holes for attaching jewellery and embellishments — transforming a familiar object into something versatile, functional, and deeply personal.

The brand celebrates playful individuality with a tone that is chic yet approachable. Its visual language reflects modern femininity through clean geometry, soft tactility, and thoughtful simplicity. CLIO is designed to evolve with its wearer, serving as a blank canvas for creativity and a lasting symbol of self-expression.

BRAND POSITIONING
Market Gap: Customisable accessories that moves beyond fast fashion.
Identity: Chic, playful, intentional, and sustainable.
Tone: Personal, confident, and expressive.

OUTCOME
CLIO successfully repositions the claw clip as a customisable design object — merging creativity and practicality. It appeals to a style-conscious audience who values authenticity and individuality. Through thoughtful design and strong storytelling, CLIO proves that even the smallest accessories can inspire meaningful, lasting connections between design and self-expression.
