CONCEPT

- The Sartorialist
- Pattern Observer
- FashionBeans
- Design Museums and Exhibitions
Create visual boards that include images, colors, textures, and other elements capturing the mood or theme of your collection.
Here are several websites and resources to help you create effective mood boards:
- Behance
- Go Moodboard
- Sample Board
Choose references for your collection. These can include similar garments, flats, photographs, and other relevant materials.
To produce your clothes, you need to provide a measurement chart, which will be the basis for the sample. This chart includes the complete set of measurements for the sample-size garment. If you don’t have this, we can assist you in creating one.
Ensure that the design concepts are in line with your brand’s or business’s DNA, mission, and aesthetic.
We recommend that you consider potential fabrics, trims, and accessories for the final product at this stage.”
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS/ FLAT SKETCHES
We can prepare technical drawings for you, which are essential as they provide a detailed roadmap for the entire manufacturing process.
Detailed illustrations of the garment from both the front and back to show all design elements.
The technical drawing should include design details, specifications, or descriptions. This information is important for manufacturing.”
INITIAL MATERIAL SELECTION
We can assist you with the initial material selection for your designs, ensuring they align with the garment’s functionality and your concepts.
We perform research to find materials that best suit the design concept, taking into account factors like texture, weight, flexibility, and durability to achieve the best results.
We ensure that the selected materials are compatible with the design’s functional and aesthetic requirements. For example, sportswear requires breathable, stretchable fabrics, while formal wear may need more structured, luxurious materials.
We will conduct a cost analysis to find materials that balance quality with cost-effectiveness.
We highly recommend ordering swatches or small samples of selected materials for testing. This allows you to feel the material, test its durability, and see how it drapes or moves.
COLOR AND PRINT/ SELECTION
If you need, we can assist you with the selection of colors and prints for your garments or clothing line. This is more than a creative choice – it’s a strategic decision that impacts everything from brand identity to market appeal.
The selected hues and patterns should be in harmony with the overall design concept and thematic elements of the collection.
It is recommended to consider the time of year the collection will be released, as it plays a significant role in color and print choices, with each season having its own distinct palette and motifs.
We will conduct a cost analysis for specialized printing techniques and custom colors to highlight their impact on the final price of the garment, ensuring a balance between design intent and financial viability.
We will provide you with specifics like color codes and print scales that are essential for Tech Pack documentation.
Outline the colorways sheet to clearly display the fabric or pattern options for your garment, showcasing the variety of choices that will define its visual appeal and texture.
