Fittings

One of the funnest parts of my internship has been to see virtually every single step it takes to build a collection from the ground up. From sample spotting to picking fabrics, to pattern makers and factories, to fittings and hiring fit models... Its amazing to see just how many aspects there are behind making a clothing line. I try to take pictures here and there all throughout the day but often forget, or my hands are too full. Here are a couple of pictures from the early early stages of production.

This is one of the first patterns our pattern-maker, RenĂ©, worked on. This blouse has since been changed so much, you wouldn't even realize that this was the original idea. We have since added drapey ruffles cascading from the collar and taken out the pleats. 

These are the leather leggings sample. We have since made them much tighter and switched the outside ankle zippers to inside ankle zippers. I can't wait to get my hands on these!
