The Collaboration
A study in contrast. The softness of Greek yogurt against the depth of black sesame. The brightness of lemon against the darkness of a Valentino evening.
The Brief
Valentino's creative direction was simple: tension. Light and dark. Past and future. East and West.
Story-to-Flavor
Greek Yogurt Lemon carries the lightness of Mediterranean afternoons. Black Sesame carries the quiet weight of Asian heritage. Together they are something neither could be alone.
The Result
Launched at Valentino SS23 Bangkok preview. Featured in Vogue Thailand.
Work Station
Where it gets made.
Every collaboration begins in our kitchen — where ingredients, stories, and instincts collide until something damn good emerges.
Brief & Story Gathering
We sit with the brand team. We learn what the partner cares about — their history, their customer, the feeling they want to create. We gather stories.
Flavor Prototyping
Using our Story-to-Flavor methodology, we translate narrative into ingredient combinations. The first batch is usually wrong. The third is getting warm. The fifth, sometimes, is exactly right.
Tasting & Refinement
Partners come to our kitchen. We eat together. We push further — adjusting sweetness, texture, temperature behavior. Nothing ships until everyone goes quiet after the first bite.
Production & Launch
Small-batch production using our Boston texture method. Custom packaging, branded cups, event logistics. We handle everything from the kitchen to the moment it reaches the guest.
