Process

How a project runs.

  1. Brief

    A call about your product, price point, timeline and factory.

  2. Design & tech packs

    Sketches, CADs and full specs for your approval.

  3. Samples & fittings

    We review protos, run fittings and send clear comments.

  4. Wash & finish

    Wash standards and finishes signed off before bulk.

  5. Production

    We follow the order with your vendor through to shipment.

Europe

We work remotely with European brands. Our mornings in Los Angeles overlap your afternoons, so fittings and reviews happen the same day.

About

A team built in premium denim.

The GS Creativa team brings 10 years of experience in luxury and premium fashion, designing and developing collections in Zürich, New York and Los Angeles for brands including Vetements, R13, AGOLDE, PAIGE and Comme Si.

That experience covers denim, knitwear and ready-to-wear: fabric and wash selection, fit, garment construction, tech packs and sample reviews from proto to production. We bring it to brands that need senior design and development support without building a full in-house team.
