About me

(01) Hi

I’m Sherrmae Andrea Soliman, a fashion designer and product developer with five years of experience in the fashion industry.

I like the moment where the creative side and the technical side meet: choosing the right material, getting the silhouette and the fit right, and making something that’s good to wear and well made. I enjoy taking an idea all the way, from the first concept and research to development, fit and the finished piece.

I’m creative, a bit experimental, and I care a lot about details. I like trying out materials and working on a concept until the piece feels right.

(02) How I workFrom idea to finished piece

01

Research

Trends, materials, and what the people who wear it really need.

02

Sketch

Line, proportion, the first silhouette. Then the technical drawing.

03

Pattern

From paper or CLO 3D to the first toile.

04

Fit

Fittings and changes until it sits right and feels good.
