• Sample Room Manager

  • Nov 2017 - Present

  My role as a Sample Room Manager is to work directly with Norma Kamali to make sure the sample room is managed and run in an organized and efficient manner. While Ms. Kamali is developing her new line for each season, I am there to ensure that each piece she has designed for the new line moves forward in the development process. I communicate with the cutters and sewers on the garments that are going to be included in each new season. I clarify and manage with the cutters and sewers that the correct garments are being completed for Ms. Kamali's approval. Once a garment has been completed, I fit the garment with Ms. Kamali. From there she gives her full approval to move forward with production of the garment or whether there will be changes implemented on the finished garment. If the garment is approved by Ms. Kamali, I communicate with the patternmakers to prepare the garment's pattern to send to the domestic factory to be made for the new season's market or other selling points. I am also involved in preparing the patterns, cutters must, trimmings and fabrics to be sent to the domestic factory to be produced. While the garment are being produced I am the lead communicator with the domestic factory to ensure the all of the needed garments are completed in an efficient timeline. My main goal as a Sample Room Manager is to ensure that Ms. Kamali's new line gets completed in a successful and timely manner in order to reach closets and wardrobes of all the Norma Kamali customers.
