IN HOUSE TAILOR AND SAMPLE MAKER
For fashion houses and private labels.
As part of the team of in-house sample makers, we tailor the garments worn by models for filming, photoshoots and fashion shows. During the weeks leading up to Fashion Week, for example, we ensure the garments fit exactly as the designer specifies before they are sent to walk the runway shows.
I also work independently, from my own studio commissioned to make up the initial samples for these high-end fashion houses. I follow their sketches and patterns provided, then cut and sew the cloth accordingly. Consultation on how and where the development of the garment can be improved is often required and becomes a conversation between myself, the brands’ designers and the factory's production manager.
The quality of these shows and photographs achieved through the strength and speed of these collaborations never ceases to amaze me!
