translated into sections and series models and the individual designs are coordinated
harmoniously to product groups and / or added to a collection. They guide their staff by
different tasks and contribute to their education and training. They also construct their
own design-draw or computer-aided design cuts according to sketches from well-tested model
or change sections considering the fashion trends. They develop the patterns and models
until their productivity. Therefore they simplify e.g. cut lines so that garments can be
produced cost-effectively. They also calibrate the cuts; resize them to the dimensions of
the different clothing sizes. They also select materials and accessories and finally monitor
the implementation of the collections by the production.
