IACDE - Who we are

Founded in 1910 the International Association of Clothing Designers and Executives (IACDE), is the global professional platform for pattern designers, technical designers, manufacturing executives and suppliers of the clothing industry. Being responsible for the technical product development they are the partners and facilitators of the product/brand management. 

Today, the IACDE has over 200 international members in USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Italy, India, China, Japan and many more countries. Famous fashion houses as well as famous Asian entrepreneurs are supporting the IACDE. More than 50% of the world’s quality men’s suits are being made under the responsibility of the IACDE members. 

Many international operating companies of the apparel industry have very similar problems concerning production - regardless the fashion profile of the manufacturer. For this reason the IACDE International offers a vivid exchange platform about new techniques and procedures in the industrial apparel production.
