S4 EP15: Product Development!! ft. Shilo...

OMONDI
About this episode

How do you make a product?!!!! This episode highlights my FAVORITE part about fashion: DEVELOPING CLOTHES. I love being in factories. I love working with patternmakers. I love seeing designs come to life. 

Shilo Byrd is a patternmaker by trade & training. It sounds like we recorded this in a factory, but really, its Downtown Los Angeles on a sunny day in February with the windows wide open, while everyone around us is working at their desk. 

We talk fast so take notes.

PERFECT episode  Anyone who wants to understand the "kitchen" of the restaurant we call the fashion industry.
