Rebecca King Fashion House

A clothing designer never stops working, and I am always taking inspiration and mental notes from the world around me - textures, colour combinations, details, etc. The process for a new piece starts in my home-based studio with initial design sketches and concepts. I personally draft, sew, and test all my prototypes, and typically run through as many as six iterations as I evolve and hone in the concept. I refine the pattern until I have a final design sample that I am happy with, and then I send the pattern/sample package to a small-scale contract factory either in Vancouver. The factory will prepare a production sample and grade the pattern into the required sizes. Once I have approved the sample and pattern, production begins, which inevitably includes troubleshooting along the way. Once the full production run is completed, the finished garments are shipped back to me, and the final merchandising tasks are completed to prepare them for the sales racks. Garments are sold direct-to-customer either via our website, pop-ups and tradeshows, or our storefront in Saskatoon.
