Seminars
Providing insight into the practical aspects of production processes and the fashion cycle for better understanding of processes and team coordination.
Non-Technical Management/Administration of Fashion and Aparell related businesses: You might be in the process of re-considering your budget for sampling + production and feel there might be too many designers/pattern cutters/tailors/QC/staff in the team-but are there? Do you know what purpose each one of them has? Could you increase your knowledge about the process of creating and making?
Fashion Designers:
Have you ever wondered what happens after you have sketched your design and selected your fabrics OR why the pattern cutter has so many questions although you have provided a sketch? Why would two pattern cutters possibly have different interpretations of your sketch? How does your fabric choice influence the outcome? What are darts for? Which information does the technical team need from you?
