FILTH Latex
For FILTH Latex I developed patterns for several latex garments for both men and women. On demand, the patterns are also delivered made to measure.
The fit of these very close-fitting garments is super important which makes this a challenging project.
Name to be revealed
previous work pattern development, digital prototyping, sizing advice For emerging brand “Under NDA” I developed patterns for several latex garments for both men and women. Some of the designs had very deep and/or a lot of cut outs, which require some extra adaptions to get the fit right. So instead of starting in 2D, I first […]

Several Private Clients
As a tailor I made all kinds of tailor-made items, like dresses, pants, jackets and coats for several private customers.
For each customer I made a personal made to measure base pattern. Which was then fitted on the customer and adjusted until it fitted perfectly. This base pattern was the used to create the final item. All by hand, so I know how much work this is.
But times have changed and now the process is completely digitized and automated for a large part. Goodbye manual work, hello perfect fit!
Several Business Clients
previous work digital sample, made to measure, pattern development, tech pack Over the years I did various jobs for several established brands who don’t want me to mention their name or reveal what I did for them. Mostly pattern development for close fitting dresses (also made to measure) but also some more casual oversized models.
