I’m Irati Ugartetxea, a fashion designer based in Madrid with experience supporting luxury ready-to-wear and costume design, including garment development, knitwear support, and trend research. I work comfortably in fast-paced teams and I enjoy turning concepts into clear technical specs and styling-ready looks. From creating digital moodboards and technical sheets to supporting fittings, quality control, and photoshoots, I like being involved in every step that brings garments (and costumes) to life. My background blends fashion and costume knowledge, and I’m especially motivated by seasonal concept development, garment specification accuracy, and polished presentation on set.
