The Challenge

THE CHALLENGE

The Fashion Network Was Growing Faster Than The Experience.

The platform was connecting a fast-growing network, but its experience did not yet reflect the energy or cultural relevance of the people using it. Discovery was functional, yet the relationships between labels, collections, and buyers were easy to lose.

The Approach

THE APPROACH

Designing A Marketplace With A Sense Of Culture.

We reimagined Relay as a living fashion network rather than a conventional marketplace. Editorial cues, more expressive navigation, and focused product flows create a space where discovery feels curated and every interaction keeps people close to the work.

Thundor gave Relay the confidence to stand in the middle of fashion and technology without feeling like either one was an afterthought. The new experience feels connected, current, and unmistakably ours.
