Wrangler partnered with Los Angeles–based retailer Fred Segal to create a limited‑edition collection inspired by archival garments spanning four distinct eras of Wrangler’s cultural influence. The project translated heritage denim into a modern, fashion‑forward capsule while honoring each brand’s identity.
I supported the collaboration through hands‑on technical development, including internal pattern making and close collaboration with the sewing floor to ensure construction met the quality standards of both brands. I partnered directly with factory personnel to refine fit, balance vintage authenticity with modern wearability, and resolve construction challenges throughout development.
In total, I managed the development of over 20 styles, guiding them from concept through production‑ready execution.

Lee partnered with heritage brand Pendleton to create a collaborative collection that blended classic denim construction with Pendleton’s iconic wool textiles. The project focused on integrating two distinct material languages while maintaining the authenticity and craftsmanship of both brands.
I supported the collection through hands‑on product development, working with Lee’s internal sample floor as well as overseas manufacturing partners. My role involved coordinating development across teams, resolving construction challenges unique to combining wool and denim, and ensuring consistent quality from sampling through production.
The collaboration required close technical oversight to balance fabric behavior, durability, and finish, resulting in a cohesive collection that honored both brands’ legacies while pushing material innovation.

Paul Smith’s first shop featured a mix of his own designs alongside personal favorites, including Lee painter’s pants. Fifty years later, the two brands reunited for a transatlantic collaboration re‑imagining Lee’s classic silhouettes through a Paul Smith lens.
I contributed in a supporting technical role, providing detailed fit comments and partnering with production teams to follow up on and resolve development and production issues, helping ensure execution aligned with design intent and brand standards.
