Z.

After graduating from Nottingham Trent university, with a degree in fashion Zoe started her career at a high end milliners in Spitelfields, London. Within a small team she designed, created patterns, worked within production on costings and lay plans, and created first samples. This gave her a unique insight into the whole process from initial idea to finished product.

​

From there she moved on and worked at multiple high street suppliers, mainly on woman's wear but also children's wear, as a designer and at one point assistant to the garment tech.

​

Working side by side with in house pattern cutters, machinists and the production team, Zoe fully understands the make up of a garment and how to make that garment cost effective, if needed.

​

Having also worked with a sample studio in Vietnam, she understands the importance to accurate and clear spec drawings and packs, to get the best possible samples and production.

​

With such an importance of print within women's wear, Zoe's design roles have also included textile print design and she is therefore proficient in this from trend analyise, print design and colour ways to creating factory ready artwork and colour matching.  She can also understand the technical issues of working with prints within a garment.
