Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Move from scattered inspiration to a workable capsule plan before spending time on detailed sketches, sourcing, or samples.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Reduce the concept
Turn the inspiration into one usable direction instead of a collection of unrelated references.
03
Set the design rules
Translate the concept into rules that can guide every look.
04
Edit the color hierarchy
Give each color a job and prevent uncontrolled distribution across the range.
05
Build the silhouette system
Define the recurring shapes and proportions that will connect the lineup.
06
Assign material roles
Match materials to shape, movement, surface, and garment function before outfit mapping.
07
Plan the range architecture
Give every look a different job within the five-look sequence.
08
Map the five looks
Assemble complete outfits that follow the rules while adding controlled variation.
09
Check repetition and transitions
Confirm that recurring elements feel intentional and that adjacent looks move the story forward.
10
Run the final range edit
Resolve weak looks and prepare a short development plan for detailed sketching.

Shape a Five-Look Capsule From Scratch
Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
Describe who will wear the capsule, where it will be worn, and what the clothes need to support.
0/10000
Select the main purpose of the five-look capsule.
Enter the intended season, climate, or delivery window.
Describe the central inspiration, mood, tension, image, or reference that should drive the capsule. Upload reference images if useful.
0/10000
State what the capsule needs to prove, sell, or communicate.
List fixed limits involving categories, modesty, cost level, production, fit, materials, brand codes, or presentation.
0/10000
List the garment types available for the range, including any required hero category.
0/10000
List available or preferred materials and note any known limits on weight, drape, stretch, care, or quantity.
0/10000
Enter the maximum number of main colors allowed, excluding minor hardware or neutral construction details.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with plain descriptions. Name what the wearer is doing, what the clothes should communicate, and what limits are fixed. If fabric names are uncertain, describe weight, surface, drape, and structure instead.
Review the five-look map before sketching details. The structure of the range matters more than trims at this stage.
Advanced instructions
Use the first result as a range-editing draft, not a final design answer. Challenge any repeated garment that doesn’t add a new proportion, function, or styling option.
Check whether color and material placement create movement across the lineup. Replace weak transitions before developing technical details or committing to samples.
