Why our clients trust us
What We Do
Full-spectrum apparel expertise
Collection Design Development
Concept through complete collection. Sketches, line sheets, tech packs, and sample development that translate vision into production-ready designs.
Technical Design & Fit Services
Fit corrections, grading, and garment engineering. We build specs that translate accurately across factories and size runs — and fix the ones that don’t.
Brand Restructuring
For brands that need a strategic reset. We evaluate your line, identify what’s working, and build a restructured design and development strategy.
Production Management
Vendor sourcing, factory matching, trim and fabric procurement, and production oversight — domestic and overseas. We manage the complexity.
Trend Research & Direction
Market-aligned direction-setting for your seasonal collections. Trend research, color palettes, fabrication stories, and concept boards.
Graphic, Textile & Packaging
Custom print and textile design, graphic assets, and packaging that extends your brand identity from garment to shelf — fully production-ready files.
For the right startup, we invest beyond the invoice.
Nicole Katherine Apparel Services selectively partners with high-potential founders who are building something with real long-term vision. For these clients, we are open to equity-based engagements — bringing our full expertise in exchange for a stake in your brand’s future.
​
This isn’t for everyone. We work with founders who have a clear market, a scalable concept, and the commitment to see it through. If that’s you, let’s have a different kind of conversation.

Tyra, Australia
Nicole was a delight to work with. She assisted me with technical drawings for a handbag design. I had no experience commissioning this type of work and she made it very easy for me and was great to communicate with and bounce ideas off. Her completed technical drawings were exactly what I needed to engage with manufacturers. I would highly recommend working with Nicole on design projects without hesitation.
