Pret-a-Porter (Ready to Wear)

Ready to wear/ Pret-a-porter (RTW) is the term for factory-made clothing, sold in finished condition, in standardized sizes, as distinct from made to measure or bespoke clothing tailored to a particular persons frame.


Ready to wear has rather different connotations in the spheres of fashion and classic clothing. In the fashion industry, designers produce ready to wear clothing intended to be worn without significant alteration, because clothing made to standard sizes fits most people. They use standard patterns, factory equipment, and faster construction techniques to keep costs low, compared to a custom-sewn version of the same item.


Some fashion houses and fashion designers produce mass-produce and industry manufactured ready to wear lines, while others offer garments that, while not unique, are produced in limited numbers.


Collections are shown twice a year Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer......
