Barbara I Gongini
// Technical Designer //
A curated selection from my time as a Technical Designer, serving as the vital link between design and production, at the avant-garde luxury brand Barbara I Gongini.
The role challenged me to explore innovative geometric cuts and soft organic silhouettes, deepening my understanding of creative pattern cutting and knowledge of relaying complex construction instructions.
Each piece is designed to empower the wearer to personalise their garments, transforming traditional tailoring into contemporary art that reflects their unique personality.
The Approach
Each piece was designed and developed in our design studio in Copenhagen and meticulously manufactured in Portugal. I created toiles in-house to perfect drape, shape, and proportions to send along with a complex tech pack.
I actively participated in team meetings to understand the lead design team's vision while researching materials and finishing methods to ensure each item met our high standards.
The commitment to sustainability and creating unique conceptual pieces was always at the forefront, driven by an artisan approach and genuine craftsmanship.
My goal was to harmonise innovative design with practical execution, ensuring that each collection reflected our values and met the demands of a conscious, modern consumer.
The Collection
Drawing inspiration from the dynamic interplay of urban landscapes and organic forms, the aesthetics of this collection embody raw beauty and emotional depth. The textured finishes and bold hardware reflect the strength within each of us, encouraging you to tap into your own artistry.
The accessories are a personal expressions of individuality. With adjustable straps and secure zip closures, they invite you to carry your essentials with both style and purpose. The soft, luxurious leather offers a unique beautiful touch, and the thoughtfully designed (inner) pockets make organisation effortless.
In every stitch and detail, I display the blend of innovative design and timeless elegance. These pieces not only tell a story but also enhance your journey through life.
