The collection was defined as a six-style resortwear capsule, establishing the technical direction for each product before pattern development.

We established:

+ Product specifications: Garment type, intended use and key measurements for each style.

+ Silhouette direction: Relaxed proportions, controlled volume and fluid resortwear shapes.

+ Garment proportions: Overall length, ease, volume and relationship between key body areas.

+ Functional requirements: Wearability, movement, layering and transition between resort, daytime and evening use.

+ Construction direction: Primary garment construction and key structural elements required to achieve each silhouette.

+ Design detailing: Collars, waistbands, necklines, straps, closures, pockets and finishing details specific to each style.

+ Production intent: A defined product specification suitable for progression into pattern development and physical sampling.

This established the technical product brief for each garment before pattern development began.

Fabric development was assessed against the specific requirements of each resortwear silhouette and its intended fit and movement.

We established:

+ Fabric composition: Natural and blended fibre options appropriate to the desired hand feel and performance.

+ Fabric weight: GSM requirements aligned with each garment’s structure, drape and intended seasonality.

+ Drape & hand feel: Material behaviour required to achieve fluid dresses, relaxed tailoring and controlled volume.

+ Fabric width: Usable width considered for pattern efficiency and final consumption.

+ Dimensional stability: Shrinkage, relaxation and fabric recovery considered before finalising construction.

+ Opacity & coverage: Required opacity established according to garment type, particularly for lighter-weight styles.

+ Finishing behaviour: Suitability for pressing, seams, hems and final garment finishing assessed before sampling.

This established the material parameters required for each style before pattern and sample development.

Patterns were developed from the approved silhouettes and material behaviour, establishing the technical geometry required to achieve the intended fit and proportions.

We established:

+ Pattern balance: Centre fronts, backs, side seams and key balance points aligned to the intended silhouette.

+ Ease allocation: Controlled wearing ease and movement allowance appropriate to each resortwear style.

+ Shape & volume: Body, sleeve, leg and hem proportions developed to achieve the approved silhouette without overbuilding the pattern.

+ Construction lines: Seam placement, darts, panels and joining points positioned according to the garment construction.

+ Grain & fabric behaviour: Grainlines and pattern orientation established according to the characteristics and drape of each fabric.

+ Pattern engineering: Seam allowances, notches, drill points, fold lines and construction markers incorporated for accurate sampling.

This created the base patterns required for physical sampling and subsequent fit validation.

The first physical sample is where the digital development meets reality.

The sample allows Studio Nayéh to assess:

+ Fit: Does the garment sit correctly on the body?

+ Proportion: Are the lengths, volumes and relationships between components correct?

+ Construction: Can the garment be assembled efficiently and consistently?

+ Fabric behaviour: Does the selected material perform as expected?

+ Finishing: Does the final garment achieve the intended quality level?

Corrections are then fed back into the pattern and technical documentation.

This process is particularly important for garments with relaxed or oversized silhouettes, where small changes in balance can significantly affect the final appearance.

Once the samples were validated, the approved styles were translated into a production-ready technical package.

We established:

+ Final CAD patterns: Corrected production patterns reflecting the approved sample.

+ Grading: XS–XL size grading with consistent proportional increments.

+ A0 layouts: Plotter-ready digital pattern layouts prepared for production.

+ Measurement specifications: Final garment measurements and tolerances based on the validated samples.

+ Construction specifications: Seam types, seam allowances, hems, closures and finishing requirements documented by style.

+ BOM & consumption: Bill of Materials, component requirements and final fabric consumption documented for production planning.

+ Manufacturing specifications: Operation sequence, machinery requirements and estimated operation timings defined for consistent production.

This converted the validated physical samples into a complete technical reference for manufacturing.

Studio Nayéh can manage the sourcing of the materials and components required to bring the collection into production.

Depending on the project, this can include:

• Main fabrics

• Linings

• Interfacing

• Threads

• Labels

• Heat-transfer labels

• Buttons

• Zips

• Hardware

• Packaging

• Hang tags

• Other branded components

Where the client already has preferred suppliers or materials secured, these can be incorporated into the development process.

Once the samples and technical specifications have been approved, production can move into the manufacturing stage.

Studio Nayéh manages the process between the client and selected manufacturing partners.

This can include:

+ Production planning: Confirming capacity, quantities and production requirements.

+ Factory coordination: Ensuring the manufacturing partner has the correct technical information and components.

+ Production management: Monitoring the process against the approved development.

+ Quality control: Checking production against agreed specifications and approved samples.

+ Finalisation & dispatch: Coordinating completion and delivery.

The manufacturing facility provides the physical production capacity.

Studio Nayéh manages the development and production process around it.
