Spotlight 29 Casino:

Spotlight 29 Casino offers the most in-demand slots, world-class table games and blackjack. They needed a new apparel program that was easy and simple for their employees. To meet their immediate needs, Spotlight 29 Casino utilized Ready To Wear and modified garments from Design Collective. The collection includes fashionable, functional and comfortable apparel to meet the needs of multiple job functions, including dealers, slot attendants, housekeeping and more.

Sabanera Health:

Sabanera Health will become the most exclusive and complete medical facility in Puerto Rico, compared in facilities and service level to a 5-star hotel. They wanted their apparel program to reflect that level of finesse. To achieve this, they enlisted the collaboration of celebrity designer Nono Maldonado and Design Collective. Together, they created a collection reflective of the local environment as well as the Sabanera brand.

The collection incorporates soft lines, light colors and a modern fit for the garments into a healing harmony of comfort, performance and luxury White and cheerful colors were used throughout the program to coordinate with the bright accents found in the interiors while soft silhouettes such as Saint Laurent-inspired bow blouses were a must to add a feminine touch. The program covers 200 wearers and includes tailored apparel for the front-of-house operations, and a collection of scrubs for the clinical and industrial back-of-house functions that were designed for comfort, performance, and technology so that healthcare workers could be at their best. By combining exclusive products with ready-to-wear apparel, Design Collective created a cohesive collection that is fresh and unique.
