About
Hi, I’m Iris Alibali, a passionate product developer and designer specializing in leather and outerwear fashion. With several years of experience working with leading brands like Roots Canada and HISO, I’ve developed expertise in creating innovative collections, managing production teams, and collaborating with different departments to ensure designs align with business goals. I love expanding my craft by exploring new materials and training teams to master them.
Besides fashion design, I’m also a trained pattern maker with a deep background in European pattern cutting techniques, which allows me to specialize in made-to-measure and custom patterns. When I’m not designing, I enjoy staying up to date with the latest trends and continuously improving my skills, ensuring every piece I create is a perfect blend of creativity and technical precision.
