The Vision
The goal of this collection is to bring the timeless legacy of the image of Almanzo Wilder into today’s fashion trends. By blending the "rugged-romantic" character from Little House on the Prairie with the comeback of 70s vintage and Americana styles, we can create a brand that connects with long-time fans while also capturing the "New Vintage" market.

For those who want the message to take center stage, this version of the "Little House Forever" tee moves away from the large heart and puts the focus entirely on the text. I scaled up the typography across the chest to make it bold and easy to read from a distance. It’s a simple, powerful way to show the love for the legacy.

The Character: This collection celebrates Almanzo Wilder by using images that capture his sweet and kind nature. We’ve chosen visuals that stay true to the character fans have loved for generations.The 70s & Western Revival: Drawing inspiration from the current popularity of "70s Western" (as seen in brands like Brixton and Ralph Lauren), the designs utilize warm earth tones, retro typography, and rugged textures. Cultural Context: This direction is backed by current pop-culture trends, successful celebrity brand collaborations, and a high demand for high-quality, story-driven fan merchandise.
002 Color Change
Changed orange color to the brand yellow to be in compliance with the brand book.

Smells like... (insert person)
There is a growing market trend of 'character-inspired' candles that allow fans to bring the atmosphere of their favorite shows into their homes. We see a significant opportunity to develop a signature scent for Almanzo Wilder. This would offer a new, immersive product category for the Little House franchise at a fraction of the R&D and production costs of a traditional personal fragrance. We can explore various logistical paths—from small-batch artisan collaborations to private label options—to bring this to life efficiently.
