I’m Mitali Mehta, a fashion and product development professional who designs commercially driven womenswear with a strong technical foundation. I move fluidly between luxury ateliers and high-volume retail, turning mood boards into wearable, retail-ready product that is built to spec—supported by detailed tech packs, precise construction and trims callouts, and careful sourcing from samples through to on-shelf delivery. Across my roles, I’ve led end-to-end sampling, fabric research, and line planning for seasonal ranges, while also managing merchandising and production workflows with manufacturers and cross-functional teams. I bring an eye for trend and presentation alongside practical garment knowledge—plus a sustainability-focused background in ethical production and low-waste textile approaches—so the pieces I help create make sense for both the buyer and the wearer.
