The collection was defined as a six-style businesswear wardrobe, balancing tailored separates with softer pieces that could be combined across multiple professional looks.

We established:

+ Product specifications: Blazer, trouser, vest, skirt, blouse and tailored dress.

+ Silhouette direction: Structured tailoring balanced with controlled fluidity and contemporary proportions.

+ Garment proportions: Shoulder width, jacket length, trouser rise, leg volume, skirt length and dress shaping.

+ Functional requirements: Movement, layering, desk-to-meeting wearability and compatibility between separates.

+ Construction direction: Soft tailoring, structured waistlines, tailored closures and controlled garment shaping.

+ Design detailing: Lapels, pockets, waistbands, cuffs, buttons, closures and seam lines defined by style.

+ Production intent: A premium businesswear capsule designed for repeatable commercial production.

Material development focused on achieving structure, drape and comfort across the different tailoring silhouettes.

We established:

+ Tailoring cloths: Woven qualities with sufficient body and recovery for blazers, trousers and structured skirts.

+ Fluid qualities: Lighter materials suitable for the blouse and softer elements of the collection.

+ Fabric weight: GSM selected according to garment structure, seasonality and intended drape.

+ Drape & recovery: Controlled movement without compromising the shape of tailored garments.

+ Dimensional stability: Shrinkage and fabric behaviour considered before final construction.

+ Tailoring support materials: Interlinings, fusibles, shoulder support and other internal materials matched to the required level of structure.

Patterns were developed around the balance and construction requirements of contemporary tailoring.

We established:

+ Tailoring blocks: Structured blocks developed for the blazer, vest, skirt and dress.

+ Pattern balance: Front, back, shoulder and side-seam balance established for clean garment hang.

+ Ease allocation: Controlled wearing ease allowing professional movement without losing silhouette definition.

+ Shaping: Dart, panel, waist and body shaping developed according to each garment.

+ Sleeve engineering: Sleeve pitch, cap height and armhole relationship established for the blazer and blouse.

+ Construction details: Lapels, pockets, waistbands, closures, seam allowances and notches incorporated into the patterns.

Physical samples were used to validate the relationship between the tailoring patterns, fabrics and finished silhouettes.

We assessed:

+ Shoulder & chest balance: Blazer and vest fit through the upper body and armhole.

+ Sleeve pitch: Sleeve movement and alignment through the shoulder.

+ Waist & hip fit: Trouser, skirt and dress shaping across the body.

+ Garment proportions: Jacket, skirt, trouser and dress lengths reviewed against the intended silhouette.

+ Movement: Functional ease assessed through sitting, walking and arm movement.

+ Construction: Lapels, pockets, closures, waistbands and internal support reviewed during sampling.

+ Sample corrections: Pattern and measurement adjustments incorporated before technical finalisation.

Once the tailored samples were validated, the approved styles were translated into production-ready technical documentation.

We established:

+ Final CAD patterns: Corrected patterns reflecting the approved samples.

+ XS–XL grading: Size grading with proportional increments appropriate to each garment.

+ A0 layouts: Plotter-ready digital pattern layouts.

+ Measurement specifications: Final garment measurements and tolerances.

+ Construction specifications: Tailoring seams, hems, closures, pockets and finishing requirements.

+ BOM & material requirements: Main fabrics, interlinings, buttons, closures and other components.

+ Manufacturing specifications: Operation sequence, machinery requirements and estimated operation timings.

Sourcing was developed around the different material and construction requirements of the collection.

We established:

+ Tailoring fabrics: Wool, wool-blend or premium structured woven qualities suitable for the blazer, trousers, vest and skirt.

+ Fluid blouse fabrics: Lightweight woven qualities with appropriate drape and recovery.

+ Dress fabrics: Structured but comfortable qualities capable of maintaining the column silhouette.

+ Interlinings & fusibles: Support materials selected according to the required structure of each tailored garment.

+ Buttons & closures: Buttons, zips, hooks and other closures specified according to garment construction.

+ Labels & trims: Branding and care components compatible with the selected fabrics and finishing requirements.

Manufacturing was planned around the technical requirements of tailored garments rather than treating the collection as standard cut-and-sew production.

We established:

+ Tailoring construction: Structured assembly for the blazer and vest, including internal support and controlled pressing.

+ Trouser construction: Waistband, fly, pocket and leg assembly with attention to crease and leg alignment.

+ Skirt construction: Panel assembly, waist construction and closure installation maintaining clean shaping.

+ Blouse construction: Lightweight fabric handling, sleeve insertion, cuffs and neckline finishing.

+ Dress construction: Controlled body shaping, closure installation and internal finishing.

+ Pressing & finishing: Pressing stages integrated throughout production to establish and maintain the intended tailored shape.

+ Quality control: Measurements, balance, seam quality, pressing, closures, symmetry and finishing checked against approved samples and technical specifications.

This ensures that the precision established during pattern development and sampling is maintained through finished production.
