From catwalk to streets IT touches almost everyone all over the blue planet. - Fashion has become a global attraction.
The industry employs millions, from designers to editors, illustrators, photographers, stylists, models, manufactures, hairdressers etc...
Are we fashion slaves, sure most of us are. We designer comunicate our ideas to a design team. This team simply are pattern makers, buyers, sample machinists. The designer discusses the new idea with the pattern maker, after that the pattern is drafted and the first piece can be produced.
