Anne Marie is available for work

An established luxury Menswear Consultant with international design and management experience in the UK, China and Hong Kong. I am one of the few designers in the world to have worked with six Savile Row Brands and the first female Head of Design for Gieves & Hawkes. Other Savile Row brands I have worked with in a design/ consultant capacity are: Kilgour, Scabal, Chester Barrie, Bernard Weatherill & Richard James.

A fashion essentialist and facilitator, I would describe my style as a "smart-casual, timeless aesthetic." I draw on the rich cultural heritages of Europe, Britain, China and elsewhere – distilling them to their absolute essence – to create clothing for the man who is as at home in Shanghai as in London, Paris or New York.

As a designer, I create for the man that is self-assured, not showy; the man that combines a spirit of daring with respect for tradition – the Entrepreneur, the Adventurer and Traveler, comfortable wherever he is, and at peace no matter what life throws at him.

Specialties:
• Tailoring, Casualwear & Outerwear
• Creative & Design Direction
• UX Research
• Fashion Illustration & Hand Drawing
• Brand DNA - Concept, Strategy & Analysis
• Fashion Forecasting & Trend Analysis
• Range Planning seasonal collections for different, international markets
• Product Development from initial concept to production
• Research and Sourcing global fabric mills and vendors
• Proven track record of building and maintaining strong supplier relationships • Extensive experience and understanding of Menswear markets in Asia: China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Korea & Japan While many designers assume that Western sensibilities can be projected onto the Asia market with minor alterations, the reality is more complex. Designing and marketing for Asia requires actual working knowledge of the culture. I am one of the few European designers that understands what fabrics, colours, cuts, and non Asian influences work, which don't, and what can be adapted for East Asian markets.
