Welcome To The Fashion Studio The Fashion Studio has two aims - sampling and short run production and it's also where we hold the Fashion Apprenticeship Programme for the Government. We are the leading training provider in the country for fashion apprenticeships and our clients include asos.com, House Of Fraser, New Look and many others. Orders are taken from our clients such as House Of Hackney for quantities under 300 units. Any order over 300 units is transferred to our factory.
We will also be reviewing the Design Life Cycle with you and to explain how we work here at the Fashion Studio. I am also providing you with an overview of Fashion Enter, an overview of our Apprenticeship Programme and directions for the Factory
Sample Development Process. - Strategic meeting – (with Jenny) - Initial Design development (meeting with Yuliana/ Beth) - Sample specifications (meeting with Kasia/Rebecca) -Place order for patterns/Samples (In person or via email with Kasia/Rebecca) - All orders must be placed through Rebecca/Kasia, any amendments must at least have Rebecca Cc'd on.
We raise the following paperwork:- Progress Sheet Docket Time Sheet Costing sheets Size charts Fitting Logs Agreement of appropriate fit mannequin (The Fashion Studio has a choice of 8 fit mannequins from Alvanon) White Production board updated Blue Production board updated
Estimated lead times -
Initial pattern work – approx 5 working days Cutting - 2 working days Stitching 1st toiles – approx 5 working days depending on Current work loads and production planning Amendments made – 5 working days(depending on work load and collection size) Cutting Stitching 2nd toile/samples – 5 weeks (depending on work load and collection size)
First Fitting -- sealing**invoice point Here we address any amendments or changes wanted to the design at this stage, change any finishings and check fit. Sometimes on simple garments the amendments are so minor it is possible to go straight into a final sealing sample. Not all garments in a collection will develop at the same speed depending on complexity of design and clients requirements
2nd Fitting green seal**invoice point Here we review the expected final toile which will act as our Green Seal for production . There may be further minor amendment and this is perfectly acceptable. If a client has changed her requirement on design at this stage then (next stage estimates of price are given. One common problem is that designers believe that one pattern will work on a cross section of fabrics. This is not correct. Different fabrics have different properties and that requires pattern amends..)
Once the Green Seal is approved a docket is raised and agreed by client and production prices are then confirmed.
Cutting The docket is an instruction to cut and this document has the fabric consumption clearly confirmed with the unit price per garment.)
This is when the garments are fully made and process. Clients are encouraged to review work in progress. Final Fitting A full garment inspection is encouraged by the client. Stock is to be paid for after inspection and before delivery. If required the Fashion Studio will create a Gold or Black seal. This seal should mirror exactly the Green Seal unless amends were requested by the client. We work on a CMT basis i.e. we do not buy fabric or trims this is your responsibility. Grading Once the green seal is approved we can then instigate grading on the requested sizes. We have a Vetigraph system which enables grading to take place in house. This also estimates fabric consumption. Grade rules have to apply and this is at the discretion of the client. It is normal for a 5 cm grade rule to apply on bust, waist and hips
We work to very high standards. and we undertake in work checks in production as well as 100% inspection reviews. Quality Reports are undertaken for every production line we operate and again are open for review.. We are also SEDEX approved which is a high benchmark of quality service and systems.
Approx 10 weeks should be allowed for a collection of around 6/8 designs to be fully developed from strategic meeting and idea generation into final samples. This time is an approx turn around time, not an estimate for invoice times.
Pricing At each stage for the garment development process we will estimate price for our client. Price is currently £20 per hour + vat for members of Fashion Enter and fashioncapital.co.uk and £25 per hour + vat for non members. All time sheets are open for review by the client as we are a not for profit organisation and we work completely transparently.
This is to provide you with an overview of our operations here at the Fashion Studio.
