At Wini Alvarez we take pattern and design making very seriously to ensure the final product is perfectly crafted. Each jumpsuit goes through a six months creation process, which begins when the designer and seamstress meet in person, to conceptualize the collection. Together they brainstorm over, fabric samples, colors and cut-outs, until they develop a series of drawings.
The drawings materialize into products through the pattern making process that takes place in Miami, Florida. It then goes through a series of samples, where the designers meticulously analyze every detail, and overall style, look and fit on a model.
These pieces transform throughout the process until we feel they are ready for production.
Choice of fabric plays a very important role in the development of our piece of art. Fabrics are chosen not only based on rarity, color and texture but also on most high quality.
The hands-on approach used by the designer and seamstress is the most effective way to ensure a couture collection, unique, and an elegant piece of Art.
