Weave Fashion Lab

The creation of a garment involves various processes, with fit being the most important factor. Crafting a well-fitting garment requires careful integration of fit within the original pattern, making subtle adjustments to accommodate the body's contours while maintaining refinement and balanced proportions.
⠀
Pattern making is an art that involves manipulating fabric to align with the curves of the human form. It serves as a crucial link between design and production, translating sketches into wearable garments.
⠀
Patterns are two-dimensional, while the human body exists in three dimensions. Pattern makers must consider supplementary curves and bulges to ensure a proper fit.
⠀
Basic patterns are foundational templates tailored to a brand's specific clientele. They provide comfort and act as a canvas for fit and design innovation, maintaining consistent fit standards and enhancing customer confidence.
⠀
Investing in proprietary basic patterns protects designs from replication. Safeguarding these patterns ensures exclusive fit and preserves a brand's identity over time.
⠀
Weave Fashion Lab is a leader in pattern making, with a team of luxury pattern making engineers selected for their exceptional skill and expertise. They embody a tradition of craftsmanship from Italian classical education, ensuring every garment is crafted with attention to detail, elegance, and sophistication. ⠀

Weave Fashion Lab (WFL) aims to address the unavoidable fitting problems faced by most brands in the fashion industry. Unlike other manufacturers who blindly follow common sizing systems determined by major brands, WFL takes into account country, region and lifestyle variations to create sizing charts that cater to their clients' target audience.

One other main issue in the industry is that brands often produce garments with different manufacturers, resulting in inconsistent fittings due to the use of different sizing systems and lack of unique basic patterns. Weave Fashion Lab on the other hand, dedicates time during product development sessions to investigate their clients' target audience and create basic patterns with a perfect fit even before discussing design options. This approach allows brands to build their identity and ensure customer satisfaction through a perfect fit.

Focusing on perfect fit we also focus on the sustainability.

We are opening a unique production facility in the Netherlands that produces clothes that won’t be part of a landfill waste.

Don’t buy this material!
Most often mistake of young fashion entrepreneurs is to buy meters and meters of textile before you even have approved patterns, samples and checked if this material really suits your design.
⠀
Most often this mistakes are done in two ways.
First is when enthusiastic designer going to stock or a textile market and buying all what he or she likes without idea of the future collection design.
⠀
For second it could be that you already have design and you buy textile not thinking of technical part of garment production. Very often it is just impossible to achieve desired result with your choice.
⠀
Before spending all your money on materials that maybe won’t be used later, you have to first make all the samples and approve technology of production, then only after producing ideal sample you can order your first roll of perfectly suitable fabric.
⠀
My advice would be fist to seek advise of the production specialist (such as myself) before you even look for material sources.
⠀
Sound familiar? Share about your experience in this regard!
⠀
Aaaand, good luck in next year journey!

Елена Юрченко, основатель бренда идеальных рубашек ZŌE Studio, Амстердам (Нидерланды)
⠀
Меня зовут Елена. Мой путь создателя бренда начался чуть более 2х лет назад.
Я более 15 лет в корпоративном бизнесе, и вместе с этим, душой испытываю страсть к стилю и моде.
Прошла обучение в St.Martins school и взяла многочисленные уроки в Fashion Factory school, однако все равно буксовала.
⠀
Встреча с Ольгой стала поворотной и отправной точкой в конкретной реализации моего проекта мечты.
Я пришла на консультацию с идеей, moodboard и первыми разработанными лекалами и даже готовыми сэмплами рубашек и как я полагала - у меня всё готово к старту!
Ошибочка!
Мы начали работать с Ольгой в индивидуальном консалтинге.
Мы провели фокус группу и примерку рубашек, после чего стало ясно, что нужно полностью менять лекала, они улетели в мусор. Это цена ошибки. К счастью, я не запустила бренд с первыми лекалами, потели были бы намного больше, плюс провал по ожиданиям клиента.
⠀
Пришлось вернуться к основам основ и базе.
Мы прошли с Ольгой весь путь от понимания fashion brand identity - лекала, основа бренда. Как работает индустрия: производство, выбор фабрики, контроль качества, как избежать ошибок с самого начала.
⠀
Сделали дизайн рубашек и идеальные лекала, первые сэмплы. Я доработала brand identity и выпустила первый каталог для friends & family, а позже собрала первый заказ на производство.
⠀
Я очень рада, что пришла в работу с Ольгой. Она имеет практический опыт и знания, но более важно внимание к деталям и высочайший стандарт работы. Идеальная посадка, sustainable by design - на этом стоит мой бренд, в том числе: безупречность лекал (это уменьшает возвраты, inclusivity на практически любую фигуру), люксовое качество вещи, которую хочется носить и носить. Визитная карточка бренда прописана в деталях изделия. ⠀

RU 👉🏻 Spending time with my colleagues: pattern engineers, seamstresses, embroiderers, cutters, tailors and fashion designers, I always feel very rich. Empowered to create whatever I want and need, it is a very special feeling!
⠀
To have handicraft skills is a big power, such a pity that often in the modern world people don’t value craftsmanship at least as much as the job of a manager or IT specialist, but for our future comfort and survival there is no one more important then bakers, plumbers, farmers and tailors.
⠀
When I go to fashion shops I find myself wandering why would I need to buy smth if I can make it myself with better quality or better fit then I see on the hanger in most shops. Then I feel very happy and grateful that I invested in my education and to my teachers.
⠀
Before I was thinking, that to make my own clothes is not cool. Now I know if you have a good eye, understand fashion and know technology you can make exclusive couture pieces and also be a valuable player on the fashion market!
⠀
After having my brand and atelier, working with other brands, breaking lots of “bones”, getting extra qualifications and tons of experience I was carrying the idea of a perfect product that I want to produce for people who (like me) are in love with high standards.
⠀
Here we are, this year, working on a super project that has not only an economical but also a sustainable and social mission. Stay tuned, you will know more soon.

In the world where marketing and high income comes before bringing benefit to the planet and people all kinds of nonsense events can happen.
⠀
Nowadays many fashion companies are following trends for sustainability in our industry and very loudly proclaim their carbon free foot print aims. But… unfortunately it is often more of a marketing strategy than a real company objective. Unfortunately we still don’t have organizations that will check how true are these statements, and as a result more and more companies are just contributing to the so called greenwashing movement.
⠀
(Greenwashing also called "green sheen", is a form of marketing spin in which green PR and green marketing are deceptively used to persuade the public that an organization's products, aims and policies are environmentally friendly. Wikipedia)
⠀
Nowadays consumers or potential partners need to do extensive research to find out if a company really does something to become more sustainable or just pretends to be. For example we can study annual statements of the company and then read articles and their sustainability reports on their websites.
⠀
Then we can really see if their words match their actions.
⠀
For example it’s not enough just to say that “we are a sustainable company and are using ecological materials”, they need to show how they control their production and supply chain, what certification they use etc.
⠀
Shipping plays a huge role in this. I will tell more about it in my next posts.
⠀
So in short, these days, whatever companies tell, look at them closely before you actually believe them. Acts like using horses on a fashion show (Chanel fashion show s/s 2022) or eating lobsters on the summit of the big 8 against the climate crisis (summer 2021) are absolutely out of time, fashion and in my opinion shameful.
⠀
Talking won’t change this industry and the future of our planet, but actions of each of us will.
⠀
Tell me what do you think.
