Caroline Barulis - Luxury Fashion

Creative Pattern Cutter and Technical Consultant. 

I'm a Creative Pattern Cutter and specialise in draping and modelling on the stand. I have worked at the heart of London and Paris fashion for over 20 years and have focused my career in the luxury and ready-to-wear sector, creating iconic garments for the stores and catwalks along side bespoke/couture and made to measure garments. I have worked for a large number of design houses, fashion magazines and stylists including designing and pattern cutting for high profile clients and celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Sienna Miller, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and The Duchess of Cambridge.

I have worked in a wide variety of roles as my career has progressed. This includes my own private client base of designing, pattern cutting and developing everything from bridal, occasion wear and red carpet. I have a broad spectrum of skills including designing, draping, modalist and pattern cutting and also an in depth knowledge of Gerber Accumark pattern cutting and Lectra software producing patterns on a CAD system, production and sampling departments. This has enabled me to achieve the best productivity and maximum impact, whilst raising standards within studio technical teams.

I am the creator behind PurePatternCutting.com an online pattern making platform which provides teaching and educational videos for budding fashionistas, industry professionals and hobbists. This has generated a huge social media following on Instagram under the same name of nearly 50k followers.

I am also the voice behind the fashion podcast Fashion Half Cut where I co host a bi weekly show talking everything backstage, front row and everything behind the scenes to do with fashion including interviews with industry professionals, live on location and my 20 years of knowledge shared with my world wide audience.

I have also been commissioned by global luxury brands as a Technical Consultant predominantly in the Middle East. This role has involved advising and guiding a brand fully through the process from sampling through to production, ensuring a high luxury finish. This has included producing garments ready for the runway as well as private client made to measure garments. Please contact me if you would like to hear more about my Technical Consulting services.
