Back to original languageAbout François
Stylist and pattern maker with 8 years of experience (ESMOD graduate), I assist brands at every stage of their collection development, whether they are emerging or well-established.
Specializing in the development of men's, women's, accessories, and jewelry, I offer my expertise in researching original and innovative concepts, creating mood boards and sketches, exploring volumes and finishes, producing technical drawings, graphic design, developing textile patterns, and writing detailed technical sheets for factories.
I can also assist you in the technical development of your products with the creation of toiles, patterns, and prototypes, as well as standardization, grading, and digitization of your patterns. Familiar with technical garments, I can anticipate the specific constraints of this type of product.
Working regularly with numerous suppliers, I can guide you in sourcing materials and accessories, taking into account your requirements for quality, range, eco-responsibility, and labels. With significant experience collaborating with workshops in Paris, Europe, and Asia, I can ensure production follow-up until the finished product is received.
Specializing in product design, I have assisted over 20 brands in realizing their projects, ranging from a few pieces to complete collections. My expertise includes technical and strategic advice, budget and quality standards management, as well as international factory and supplier visits.
I offer my know-how and professional network to support you in your projects. Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your brand or the development of a piece or collection.
