KOS Factory · Chuck + Vilma present
The FactoryRunway
Where fashion is made. The planned three-day format moves from the classroom to production and then to the runway. The work is the point. Event details will be confirmed before participants arrange travel.
Design · Develop · Produce · Launch
Start before the runway.
Most people meet fashion after the labor has disappeared. This program starts earlier, with the decisions, machines and people that turn an idea into a garment.
Classroom
The proposed classroom sessions are instructor-led, with scheduled guest appearances from Chuck and Vilma. Explore the idea, the customer, the garment and the business around it.
Production
The digital file becomes printed fabric, cut panels, sewing, inspection and a finished piece.
Runway
The garment meets a body, a camera and an audience. The choices become visible.

The business
We separated design possibilities from finished inventory.
Production is not instant or unlimited. Fabric or panels are printed, cut, sewn, inspected and shipped. Scope and delivery timing are confirmed for each project before an order.
For a designer, that means less finished inventory and less guessing. It also means understanding the entire chain, not only the part that photographs well.
