Welcome to the Intimate Apparel Technical Collective!

A place for passionate Intimate Apparel designers, technicians, pattern cutters, graders and machinists who want to...

Connect

We hold monthly online gatherings for our members, so we have the opportunity to network and create meaningful connections with other people in our industry.

Learn

We have special guests in some of our meetings, so we have the opportunity to learn from the leading experts in the Intimate Apparel industry, as well as having a dedicated Slack group for technical discussions.

Collaborate

Both during our online gatherings and on the Slack group we encourage everyone to collaborate and help each other. We'd love to create a nurturing community where everyone feels trusted and supported.

And, above all, the IA Collective is a place for us to celebrate each other and grow together!
