Communicate with Apparel Technical Designer

Effective Way to Work with a Freelance Fashion Designer

Working with Overseas Clothing Designers is as easy as working with a Designer Next Door. In Fact it would be much easier as compared to a Local Clothing Designer. You must be wondering how? Let me explain. Like Every Work has a process and has a Critical Path Method, In Apparel Designing there is a C.P.M which you must know if you are planning to work with a designer. Weather the Clothing designer is from Local Neighborhood or From Far Overseas the Process remains same. The work process gets easier if we follow few easy process. OK lets find out what are those.

Know Your Styles :

Many Apparel Brand owners when communicating with Clothing Designer weather Overseas or Domestic do not actually know what they want in their collection line-sheet. They Try to get in touch with a clothing designer. Typical Queries are like " I want to start a clothing line and want a designer to support me in designing my clothing line-sheet. With some cool design that goes with the current trend". Lets Examine this query : What is a Cool Design ?  defining this is the most difficult task for a clothing designer. Because as a clothing designer he/she does not know what this means for the client. The client is confused, the clothing designer is confused the product coming out great is a question. Very less chance that the design comes out as per the expectation of the client.

Contents of your  Line Sheet :

So it is important to communicate clearly the styles to the clothing designer. For Example : if you are looking for a Complete Collection, You should communicate the client like for Example : T-Shirts - 3 Styles, Polo - 2 Styles , Bottom - 4 Styles etc. This will clearly make the clothing designer understands what is the project size what is the styles he/she needs to work on. This give a clear understanding of the basic structure of your clothing line-sheet. Make sure your each style must have its 

Choose the Right Examples : 

Once you are ready with your Line-Sheet contains now you know what you need and its time to find out the right choice. You can just Google and find out the similar styles images available and put this on a folder after remaining the image as per the style name /number.

Make Sure your Line-Sheet has a decent number of styles. Mostly designer tend to ignore or keep the work for later if the Number of styles they need to work is less and keep the designs for a next free hours of work. So this gets delayed for the client as well.  Every Clothing Designer has a Minimum Design Styles Requirement that he can comfortably take up and proceed with the project. However, with 1 or 2 styles they tend to find some extra time where in they can complete this. So make sure you are communicating and providing the clothing designer with right information.

With All the above points if you are approaching the Clothing designer the work would be much faster and you will also get the right result as output.
