Objective: |
| To utilize my unique experience and European design aesthetic and to maximize the potential of the product I am employed to develop. This would include all aspects of what makes a design desirable; shape Fabric, cut and ultimately its position within the demographic target it is aimed at. |
| |
Achievements: |
| 15 years running my own couture fashion design company. Working with the best brands within the fashion arena, creating unique couture garments. These include everything from evening wear to tailored suits, denim products and higher end fashion products. Many established and respected designer brands require specialist items to advertise their own perfumes and beauty products. Often, for a variety of different reasons, sometimes involving scheduling or politics, they cannot use their own designer clothing therefore they require a service that provides the highest quality of design to fit the criteria that matches their marketing concept, without compromising the integrity of their brand. This is the niche market that we supply couture clothing to. Some of these brands include Carolina Herrera, Jovan, Choppard, Clairol, Dupont Lycra, Yardley, Oil of Olay, Nike, Reebok, Sebastian International and Mercedes Benz. |
The experience gained in this field requires a much broader spectrum of life skills than being confined to a particular area of fashion. These include:
- Hiring skilled personnel, as well as inspiring a solid work ethic and maintaining moral and respect under challenging conditions.
- Working within extremely tight deadlines.
- Meeting and brainstorming with clients, and presenting finished illustrations, along with sourcing their fabric requirements, often importing from Europe or Japan to ensure the highest quality product.
- Conceptual design of couture brief through illustration, pattern, toile to finished product in incredibly short time-frames.
- Designing many clothes for celebrities and beauty products which demands an informed and progressive fashion approach
