Pattern making brings fashion designs to life. And CLIQD’s founder, Leigh Goyen, has helped some of the biggest names in fashion realise their creative vision.
Whether you have dreams to work for a luxury designer or win the LVMH award, CLIQD will give you the pattern making skills you need to showcase your designs to the world.
Meet CLIQD's founder
“I started my fashion career as a designer in Sydney with my own line of limited-edition pieces. I had lots of ideas, but no idea how to bring them to life.
I couldn’t afford to a full-time pattern maker. And whenever I did hire a freelancer, something got lost in translation and the patterns were never what I had envisioned.
I was so frustrated by the lack of control over my designs that I decided to learn pattern making. And loved it."
"After studying at Central Saint Martins and FIT, I spent the next 10 years creating patterns for some of the biggest names at Paris and London Fashion Week – including Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham.
I also mentored many talented, young fashion designers who were struggling with pattern cutting – like I used to. They didn’t have the technical skills to create a block to use as the base for their pattern. And they didn’t know how to turn their designs into a pattern."
CLIQD is born
"So, I created CLIQD pattern kits. The first – and only – kit that gives fashion designers and students the pattern cutting skills they need to bring their designs to life.
It’s the kit I wish I had when I began my career as a designer.”
