Direction
Describe the wearer, intended activity, target market and reference silhouette.
DEVELOPMENT & SAMPLING
The first pair
begins with a brief.
Turn a product direction into a sample that can be reviewed, discussed and refined.
A sample makes
the discussion real.
The company profile includes technical development facilities and a sample room. These spaces form the context for discussing a new silhouette, construction direction and intended market.
The brief should separate the visual reference from the requirements that must be measured or evaluated. Appearance, fit and performance are different review questions.
A PRACTICAL SAMPLE BRIEF
Construction
Provide the material direction, sole reference, panel details and proposed size range.
Review
Record feedback in one document, distinguishing appearance comments from measurements and test requirements.
Next stage
Agree the changes, sample status and remaining questions before discussing a production plan.

BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful
questions.
Can I start without a technical drawing?＋
You can start with annotated references and a clear use case. The team will need to confirm which specifications and development materials are still required.
Is a sample a production commitment?＋
Production terms, quantities, costs and dates are confirmed separately after the relevant specifications have been reviewed.
