Raising Cane’s SS26 Brand Creative Direction
Creative Direction | Trend Forecasting | CMF Design | Desk Research
Brief:
Our team works with Raising Cane’s on an annual basis to define consumer trends relevant to their merchandising strategy for the year. As well as a relevant palette for apparel and accessories, along with proposals for Key Items, Prints & Graphics, and activation thought starters.
Process:
Our team helped the Raising Cane’s Merchandising team unpack relevant Consumer Trends for 2026 to contextualize proposed Creative Directions for their Spring/Summer 2026 merch offerings.
Impact:
For this season our team created two unique Creative Direction themes, defining a core palette for the season, print & pattern, key items, and retail strategies. Raising Cane’s was then able to translate these creative themes into a series of apparel and accessories for the season.
