Christina B.

Digital Garment Designer - CLO3D Specialist

Naples, Italy
$27 per hour
3 jobs
$600+ total earnings

I’m a 3D Fashion Designer and Digital Garment Developer specializing in CLO3D, with professional experience in apparel development, technical design, and working with factories. I combine creative design with a strong technical approach, focusing not only on how a garment looks in 3D, but also on its construction, fit, proportions, materials, and production requirements. I create detailed 3D garments in CLO3D, realistic fabric simulations, and professional technical drawings in Illustrator. My experience working with factories allows me to approach each project with a clear understanding of how a design needs to be communicated for further development and production. I work closely with clients throughout the process, paying attention to details, references, corrections, and technical requirements to ensure the final result accurately reflects the original concept. Services include: • 3D garment development in CLO3D • Technical drawings and fashion flats • Realistic fabric and garment simulation • Digital prototyping and fit development • Concept-to-3D garment development • Technical preparation for production • Fashion visualization and presentation My approach is precise, detail-oriented, and collaborative — combining fashion aesthetics with technical knowledge to create garments that are not only visually realistic but also thoughtfully developed.

Daria Z.

Luxury fashion tech pack specialist / Sustainable product development

Prato, Italy
$210 per hour
637 jobs
$400K+ total earnings

I’m Daria Zinoveva-Princey, European Commission Registered Expert specialising in sustainable fashion, textiles and product development. Over the past thirteen years I’ve created thousands of custom fashion tech packs and apparel development files for luxury and ethical fashion brands. My experience includes work for Gucci, Haider Ackermann, Marc Jacobs and A.W.A.K.E., with designs featured in Vogue Italia and Blanc Magazine, and worn by talents such as Johnny Weir and Lady Gaga. Here is how I could help you -I enjoy defining the concept. Feel free to bring me a bunch of ideas in any shape (text, pictures, references, memories or thoughts), and I will distil them until you have a strong foundation for your brand DNA. I developed this skill as a student of Linda Loppa and later while working for high-end brands in Italy and Belgium. -I work across very different fields: activewear, womenswear, menswear, kidswear, swimwear, loungewear, but my approach is actually very niche. I focus on high-end and sustainable projects. -I explain complicated things in simple words. The fashion industry tends to maintain a foggy, mysterious atmosphere, but I think it creates more problems than beauty. -It makes no difference to me whether you would like to make your project 1% or 99% more sustainable. Any improvement is an improvement, and I am happy to help with different solutions for any budget and reality. -I am part of a strong high-end and sustainability network, and if during the project we need to go deeper into textile engineering or find a team of pattern makers or a non-toxic textile chemistry expert, I can help connect you with people who share the same ethics, so you do not lose time being told that polyester is an industry standard. -I work using the licensed Eco Tech Pack method, which means everything is developed from scratch and never based on templates or existing garments. I focus a lot on strong design, sustainable materials, and thoughtful production. I also work with a network of manufacturers who understand this approach, which makes the process smoother, especially with the new EU digital product passport requirements coming from 2027. Here are my certifications: Fashion Design MA (taught by Linda Loppa) Vogue Italia Talent designer & illustrator Fida Awards 2023 – Selected Artist, “Best in Industry” Certified Sustainability & Wool Specialist by Woolmark For a full overview of my fixed-price services and pricing, please see the Services & Pricing file in my Portfolio section.
