Sustainable High-Tech Apparel Design for APPAREAL

Design Services for a Sustainable High-Tech brand

APPAREAL is a High-Tech Swiss brand focused on sustainability and an "easy care" mission for apparel. The Collection provides an ethical, high quality style for women with a careful attention to the technical side of fashion.

For APPAREAL, I designed a collection merging sophisticated everyday style with core technical functionality. I shaped the collection's design with meticulous attention to fit and detail, and strategically selected innovative, sustainable fabrics (wrinkle-free, water-resistant, breathable, recycled) to enhance both performance and environmental responsibility.

Development of concept sketches: Leveraging the brand's practical and ethical foundations, I initiated the design process by developing concept sketches that strategically harmonized feminine elegance with a subtle technical edge, establishing a unique and compelling aesthetic for the collection.

Development of Tech Packs : Through close collaboration with the brand owner, I provided in-depth consultancy to ensure a flawless transition from vision to tangible samples. I meticulously developed comprehensive tech packs, serving as clear and precise blueprints for manufacturers, encompassing all necessary specifications for accurate sample making.

Sustainable Fabric Research: Conducted rigorous sustainable fabric research, selecting materials meeting performance needs and aligning with APPAREAL's sustainability goals, while reinforcing brand identity through texture and shade.

Sample Process for Optimal Fit: Provided extensive fitting consultancy, meticulously refining each garment for optimal fit, comfort, and design aesthetic.

Project Scope: My responsibilities encompassed Garments Design, Fabrics Selection, Tech Packs development, Fitting Trials, and Consultancy.
