Program Overview

Pattern makers play a strategic role in companies that manufacture clothing. They possess unique skills in that they know how to concretize the models and transform the fashion sketches of stylists into paper. They develop patterns, from the design to the realization, following as closely as possible the stylist’s idea while maintaining the proportions and style. Considering the vast importance of their job, they need to possess fundamental qualities, including technical and creative skills, as well as interpretative and organizational skills.

Pattern makers must be familiar with anatomy and demonstrate meticulousness and precision. They serve as the mediator among the figures involved in designing and creating clothes. Thanks to their sartorial skills, they interpret the stylist-fashion designer’s idea into a wearable garment to protect the company’s brand and profitability. They also supervise the prototype design to guarantee accurate industrial reproduction. Once the collection is completed, they arrange for size development.

Aspiring pattern makers prepare for such a challenging position through this course.
