Stefano Carpano

Experienced Berlin-based creative pattern cutter with 10+ years of experience. Specializing in garment construction via draping, flat pattern cutting, and digital methods.

I am a creative pattern cutter with over 10 years of experience across luxury, high-end RTW and high street in London, Milan and Berlin, working on both womenswear and menswear from first sketch to pre-production. I have led pattern development and fittings for full collections at JW Anderson and 032c, managing small ateliers, proto and SMS making, and solving complex fit and construction issues under tight deadlines.

My experience spans freelance and in-house roles for brands such as: Roberto Cavalli, Ports 1961, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Mary Katrantzou, Céline, Acne Studios, Topshop, ASOS and others, covering casualwear, runway pieces and eveningwear. I work confidently with both manual and digital pattern cutting (Gerber, Vetigraph, Lectra, Clo3D), specifically trained with draping, flat pattern cutting and toile making. I am used to preparing full technical packs including specs, markers, BOMs and sign off for production sealing.

I completed a BA (Hons) in Fashion Design Technology – Womenswear, at London College of Fashion, which I accessed through an FdA/Foundation Degree in Fashion Design Technology with a focus on design and pattern cutting (2013–2016). I also trained at CMC Centro Moda Canossa in Trento, where I completed a vocational high school program in Apparel Operations and bespoke pattern making (2009–2012).
