I support brands in the creation, development, and launch of their ready-to-wear and lingerie collections by offering comprehensive creative and technical follow-up. I work with them from the design phase to structure the collection, refine the stylistic direction, and ensure consistency between vision, product, and production. I am involved in pattern making and model development, create prototypes (digital via CLO3D or physical), and make the necessary adjustments to guarantee good fitting and industrial feasibility. I also advise on the selection of materials and supplies, considering aesthetics, comfort, durability, and manufacturing constraints. Finally, I formalize all the work through complete and structured technical sheets for the workshops to facilitate production.

During this internship, I actively participated in the development of high-end lingerie collections, working closely with the style office and the senior pattern maker. I contributed to the refinement of prototypes by working on volume adjustments, the balance between support and comfort, and the accuracy of proportions. I paid particular attention to delicate finishes, especially working with lace, embroidery, tulle, and trims, to ensure impeccable quality and aesthetic consistency. I also created complete technical sheets for production, conducted assembly tests and fit checks, and made corrections in direct communication with the workshop. Finally, I contributed to collection monitoring by ensuring smooth communication between different teams.

During this experience in New York, I actively participated in the development of ready-to-wear collections within a demanding and international professional environment. I contributed to various stages of the product creation and development process, working on both the creative and technical aspects. I created patterns, muslins, and prototypes to bring models to life and test their volumes, proportions, and fit. I also took part in model refinement by making technical corrections and necessary adjustments to ensure optimal quality and production feasibility. In parallel, I monitored production and participated in preparing technical files for workshops and manufacturers, thereby strengthening my understanding of industrial challenges and communication between design and production.
