Services
Vicki has extensive experience in the Women’s commercial fashion market and is able to provide quality designs as technical drawings or 3d renders, accurate tech packs and production assistance for cut and sew products. She started her career working for big retailers such as the Arcadia Group (Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, etc), Zara and Boden, before moving to Australia to work with Alice McCall. Since then she’s worked internationally for a number or large retailers and more recently she’s helped to launch several startup labels, with great success.
Working for large brands has given Vicki a clear understanding of budgets, curating a collection and sell through, while working with small brands has given her the ability to work in a wide range of areas and understand the process from initial concept through to production and sales.
Are you keen to get some support for your existing team, or perhaps looking for a fresh pair of eyes on your product range?
