About the Creator

Julia Panciroli founded Couture Academy to share her technical expertise with designers and dressmakers worldwide - a couture designer and university-level educator, whose career spans over three decades at the highest level of the fashion industry, she has presented collections in the UK, Los Angeles and San Francisco, with fashion shows in partnership with Tiffany & Co. and Boucheron Paris.

Throughout my career, I've seen how the right basic blocks can transform a designer's workflow—cutting development time in half and dramatically improving fit across an entire collection.

I perfected these slopers for my own design business and to share with my MFA Fashion Degree students because I was tired of seeing talented designers waste precious time adjusting poorly-drafted blocks.

My mission is simple: give designers the professional-grade tools they deserve, so they can focus on what they do best—creating beautiful garments.
