About
With close to two decades working across some of Australia's most respected fashion labels, Angela Piper brings a rare blend of hands-on technical expertise and strategic commercial thinking to every engagement.
"I've spent 18 years making sure the right product reaches the right customer — technically sound, commercially smart, and crafted with genuine attention to detail."
From draping pinnacle occasionwear at KIVARI to coordinating swim and resort production at Zimmermann, Angela has worked across every category — wovens, knits, denim, swim, and tailoring — and every stage of the supply chain, from initial concept through to factory ship samples.
As founder of We Are Mancini, her own bridal label, she also understands what it means to build a brand from the ground up — managing design, production, and customer experience as a sole operator. That perspective informs everything she does for clients.
Angela is available for freelance and consulting engagements across garment technology, patternmaking and product strategy — both short-term and ongoing.
Services
End-to-end garment tech support from initial tech pack through to approved ship samples. I set and maintain sizing standards, lead fit sessions, and keep your critical path on track.
Manual and digital patternmaking across all categories and fabrications. From structured tailoring and occasionwear to swim and jersey knits — clean blocks, accurate grading, production-ready patterns.
Strategic product consultancy for brands looking to strengthen their range, sharpen their customer focus, or build better systems. From range planning and customer profiling to post-season analysis.
