Intro to the
Design Studio
Over
the years we have provided our clients with patterns and production
help in order to facilitate a successful product. In most cases we
have been there for the design process and found it beneficial to
combine design with production. Considering the entire process as a
whole can reduce production time and waste.
In the
design studio we can conceptualize with the client then take the
apparel product entirely from idea to end use.
Here
are 2 examples of lines we designed that are production
ready.
The
newest project of ours is flight suits for women. Currently there
are no such suits on the market, only custom suits. Women pilots
have expressed the need for certain fit features so we solved their
female specific fit and function issues. Here are 2 completed,
production ready examples. The grey suit is fitted, incorporating
body curves, drop waist, low rise and cut in a medium weight, cotton
twill. The blue suit is looser in the top and leg, high waist, low
rise and cut in light weight cotton. There is a 3rd style in the
design stage.
"Alto,"
is our own shirt line, born out of the need for women’s western
shirt with an outstanding fit. Here are 6 production ready styles.
We started by draping a classic style with a slim but comfortable
fit and cut it in a high end fabric. After perfecting the first
style "Classic-High End" we created multiple versions on the same
theme using more affordable fabrics and with a less traditional
appeal.
