I’m the only bloke that will write here so I’ll make my visit brief …This thread is a warning and best practice for and about people who call themselves designers:
A person who takes your measurements and purchases designer material to be stitched by tailor is not a designer
They are called middle-people
A true designer actually designs things - either the material pattern or the way it is draped.
A middle-person should realise what the service is that they are offering:
They should have:
Quick accessibility to authnetic latest designer material
Strong links with professional tailors who are familiar with the latest fashions
Easy communication and supply chain
Honest, upright character
Prompt and Precise
Argue with the tailors on your behalf - i.e. be very particular and pedantic to detailSince the middle-person’s main perk is to be your representative in the development of your required outfit they should be acting in your best interest. Any inaccuracy is their fault. The determining factor of a middle-person’s service is how reliable they are … If they constantly rescheduling, forgetnig or delaying matters be it for delivery of goods or for returning money than that is the biggest failure of a middle-person. Designs sell themselves - What makes a good middle-person is the sense of them valuing your judgement rather than trying to convince you of theirs …
