Fashion & Pattern design & Prototype
development for Brands
FASHION DESIGN
Design and concept of women's collections for fashion brands and the development of corporate clothing.
Together with the owner or head of design of the fashion brand, I go through all the steps necessary to create a collection with respect for the brand DNA.
From fabric and color choice, creating a collection concept. I make sketches and develop them into technical drawings. I have a very broad experience with all product groups in the luxury and mid-high segment.
PATTERN DRAWING & PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT
In addition to designing complete collections, I also develop patterns. The patterns are delivered digitally. Gradation can be personalized to your own size steps.

How do I proceed?
INTAKE
After an analysis of the brand style and wishes of the brand owner, I will work together or alone with fabric or yarn choice, themes, shape research and color palettes.
COLLECTION PLAN
Together we define a collection plan: how many fabrics and models should the collection contain.
SKETCH SESSION
on the spot I make rough sketches of what the collection should look like. I take these home and work them out. This is followed by several adjustment rounds before the designs are perfect.
​
TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
the drawings can be worked out according to your wishes and style in illustrator with or without dimensions
​
DIGITAL PATTERN DRAWING
In addition to being a designer, I master digital pattern drawing with GRAFIS Systems. The gradation can be supplied and adapted to the personal size scheme.
Because I am the designer myself, there is no loss of style between my design and the elaboration of the pattern. This means short lines of communication and therefore time savings.
​
PROTOTYPE
Because I have a model workshop with all kinds of machines, I can produce an example model, or a correct prototype for industry. The design is approved after fitting before being sent to the factory.
PRODUCTION PARTNERS
I have production contacts both at home and abroad for small and large production numbers. I can also provide production contacts and supervise production at various specialist manufacturers.
Production channels: Knitwear: Netherlands, Italy, China. Down jackets: China. Woven: Netherlands, Poland.
