In the fashion industry, the bridge between idea and execution is crucial. A designer must understand the path from idea to garment. With expertise in pattern-making and sewing, and considering the path to the final product in the ideation phase, your initial idea becomes refined and executable. Among different styles, the design and pattern-making of various types of coats are very important.
