About

I’m Harsha Sajeeewa Kularathna, an apparel technical and production professional with over 20 years of international experience across lingerie, swimwear, and high-fashion garments. I specialize in coordinating offshore product development from critical-path planning through pre-production and size-set approvals, ensuring fit, finish, and quality meet buyer expectations.

Throughout my career, I’ve led technical teams and translated design and buyer requirements into production-ready standards for global brands, including Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein. I’m currently completing a Master of Applied Management at NMIT in New Zealand, and I’m excited to bring my garment-technical expertise, stakeholder communication, and problem-solving skills to a New Zealand production environment.

Technical Pattern Making for High-End Apparel.

For this project, the brief was to develop a range of precise, production-ready garment patterns for a new seasonal collection. I created highly accurate technical patterns that successfully met the required size specifications, fit standards, and manufacturing efficiency. As a result, the collection was approved for production with minimal adjustments, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship and a smooth transition from concept to the final product."
