Kem Collection is the first clothing brand from Love Island personality Kem Cetinay: a menswear line built around clean silhouettes, staged drops, and a minimal aesthetic that matches the bold character behind the label.

The challenge
Kem Cetinay was launching a first clothing brand into a market that already expects celebrity fashion to look polished on day one. The brief was clear: a modern, minimal storefront that could carry a bold personal brand without visual noise, and a release model built for staged drops rather than a one-shot catalog dump. Fit confidence mattered too: a static size chart alone would not give shoppers enough context on how pieces actually wear.
The strategy
oContis treated the build as a brand launch system, not a theme skin. The approach paired a Shopify 2.0 foundation with restrained visual design, lookbook-led merchandising, model size data via metaobjects, and Klaviyo wired in for launch capture and exclusive drop communication as collections rolled out in stages.
Results
Kem Collection launched on a Shopify foundation built for staged menswear drops: a cleaner shopping experience, lookbook-led storytelling, model-led fit context, and lifecycle tooling ready for exclusive releases. The brand has a maintainable storefront that can grow with future capsules without rebuilding from scratch.
