NINObrand now offers public access to a small collection of its most coveted patterns. Essentially, we are laying bare our source code — our secret recipes — to inspire the next generation of designers and makers who want to put their own spin on a NINObrand classic.

It is our desire to help right the wrongs of the modern fashion industry by resurrecting the once-revered trade of pattern making, including sharing our knowledge, processes and expertise for good. 

Our goal is to open up opportunities for students who don’t have the tools to create a slow fashion practice, designers who are limited in their paths due to the reign of fast fashion, and the next generation of makers who just need a nudge in the right direction. We are excited to see how existing designs are reborn in new hands, and how our ideas will evolve, grow, and inspire.

In the not-too-distant future, we plan to open up our entire library of designs to encourage education and appreciation of the trade, and mindfulness of the process.
