Unapologetically opulent

In a marketplace saturated with playful beachy branding, Kompliqué established a distinct presence rooted in indulgence and intention. Specializing in high-end swimwear, the brand’s garments feature Italian silk, 18-karat gold accents, and genuine Swarovski crystals. The visual identity needed to reflect that same level of refinement. Every detail, from the logo to the packaging, was thoughtfully designed to elevate the experience and leave a lasting impression.

A system that reflects the artistry

To honor the design behind each garment, the brand system was built on luxurious tactile storytelling. The Kompliqué logo is a bold, minimal “K” with a distinctive abstract cut that sets a tone of modern sophistication. Business cards were produced on plush black suede stock with gold foil accents. The signature gift box opened like a keepsake with crocodile-textured gloss, velvet-lined compartments, and metallic plaques that added a sense of dramatic reveal. The product catalog and look book continue this visual language with foil detailing, layered finishes, and immersive layouts created to make a statement in both showrooms and buyer presentations.

An immersive brand experience

The final result is a brand presence as rich and intentional as the garments themselves. Each touchpoint invites the audience into a world of luxury, from the shimmer of gold foil to the texture of a debossed binder in hand. Kompliqué isn’t just a label. It’s a fully realized experience that blends visual identity and tactile expression in a way that feels exclusive and unforgettable. More than a statement, it creates a connection that lingers long after the first reveal.
