The hand, the gesture, the look
Each person at Bragard plays a role in the design of the product.
From the stylist to the pattern maker, via the model mechanic, each of our associates plays his part and contributes his know-how to develop unique contemporary designs, cuts adapted to the professionals of each trade, and ingeniously adapts to the evolution of new trends. A real artist’s work.
The stages of design
The style
An idea, an exchange, a desire, a need: the creation of a product is first imagined and matured through your specifications, our ability to listen, exchanges and thoughts. Then the idea takes shape, the line is drawn and the sketch is born: the colours, the details come together and the product appears under the hand and the eye of our stylist.
The Precision Technical Analysis
Will create the flat elements of the garment. The pattern develops. The process of pattern making makes it possible to pass from the 2D to the 3D, from the drawings of the stylist to the final prototype on the computer. The various pieces are placed and intertwined on the screen. The precise gestures of our placement and cutting technician assist the launch of the garment.
The Canvas
From the pattern, the pattern maker makes the canvas. This is the first assembly of the various pieces that will make up the final garment. Made of a simple fabric, the canvas allows the adjustment of the garment’s volume and proportions. The pattern is then modified according to the canvas and the first prototype is launched in the correct fabric.
The Try-On Fitting
It is necessary for the finalization of the final model. It consolidates and summarizes the idea of the stylist and the customer’s sample. During the fitting, the stylist and the person in charge of the design office can check the cut and the fall of the garment. The couturier who creates the pattern can retouch it according to the adjustments.
The Technical File
It is built up as the product is developed and contains all the identification and technical data of the model. It will include a technical drawing with annotations, a table of measurements, information on assembly and all the elements that make up the garment. This file will then be sent to the manufacturing workshops where it will serve as an assembly sheet. Nothing should be left to chance!
