The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

  • RTA needed a dark, moody, luxury aesthetic with full-bleed video heroes without degrading mobile load performance.
  • Product pages required editorial layout flexibility for high-concept luxury drops.
  • The client requested bespoke size selector modals and lookbook purchase capabilities.
The Approach

How it was built.

01

Pixel-Perfect Figma Conversion

Translated multi-breakpoint Figma design files into clean, modular Liquid templates using BEM CSS structure and CSS custom properties.

02

Adaptive Video Streaming

Implemented auto-playing HTML5 background video sections with lazy loading and low-bandwidth poster image fallbacks.

03

Lookbook Shopping Engine

Built an interactive lookbook template allowing users to shop complete runway looks directly from editorial imagery.
