FASHION CONSULTING & DESIGN SERVICES

Based in Como Daniele Orlandi is a creative studio specialising in research, development and design of women's fashion. Benefitting from a singular vision which unites the various disciplines of the garment development process (from design to pattern-making to manufacturing), the studio succeeds in improving the efficiency of a fragmented fashion system by performing all functions in-house thereby able to offer a wide range of tailored services based on a holistic design approach.

I specialise in creative pattern-making loving to combine innovative techniques with traditional know-how while focusing on all aspects of sustainability. A project where the respect for life, an attention to people, processes and materials, the confidence in the synergy between individuals, disciplines and knowledge are not only elements of a vision but integral parts of any creation.

We are constantly looking to collaborate with the best suppliers, and over the years we have fostered close relationships with a wide range of artisans, family business and professionals. We are dedicated to match our projects with the very best fabrics available, thanks to a global network of exceptional suppliers that share a mutual respect for quality and sustainability

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

  • Research

    Research and study are necessarily a passion. Discovering trends, noticing shapes, exploring colours, materials, styles. Inspiration comes from tangible elements and sensations that reveal needs outside of time.

  • Design

    Design means graphics, geometry, colour, semiotics. Fashion is in itself a game of convergences between styles, knowledge and functions. But from anthropometry to sociology, from touch to intuition, there is no field that fails to contribute to the logic of design.

  • Pattern-making & Prototyping

    The act of turning an idea into reality requires precise rules of construction. The garment, from flat geometric shapes, will will come to light on a 3-dimensional scale on which the pattern-maker works.

    Giving a garment an ideal “aplomb” and fit, complementing and enhancing the body shape can only happen with an intensive training, blending modern approaches and traditional know-how.
