Daria Z.

I’m Daria Zinoveva-Princey, European Commission Registered Expert specialising in sustainable fashion, textiles and product development. Over the past thirteen years I’ve created thousands of custom fashion tech packs and apparel development files for luxury and ethical fashion brands. My experience includes work for Gucci, Haider Ackermann, Marc Jacobs and A.W.A.K.E., with designs featured in Vogue Italia and Blanc Magazine, and worn by talents such as Johnny Weir and Lady Gaga. Here is how I could help you -I enjoy defining the concept. Feel free to bring me a bunch of ideas in any shape (text, pictures, references, memories or thoughts), and I will distil them until you have a strong foundation for your brand DNA. I developed this skill as a student of Linda Loppa and later while working for high-end brands in Italy and Belgium. -I work across very different fields: activewear, womenswear, menswear, kidswear, swimwear, loungewear, but my approach is actually very niche. I focus on high-end and sustainable projects. -I explain complicated things in simple words. The fashion industry tends to maintain a foggy, mysterious atmosphere, but I think it creates more problems than beauty. -It makes no difference to me whether you would like to make your project 1% or 99% more sustainable. Any improvement is an improvement, and I am happy to help with different solutions for any budget and reality. -I am part of a strong high-end and sustainability network, and if during the project we need to go deeper into textile engineering or find a team of pattern makers or a non-toxic textile chemistry expert, I can help connect you with people who share the same ethics, so you do not lose time being told that polyester is an industry standard. -I work using the licensed Eco Tech Pack method, which means everything is developed from scratch and never based on templates or existing garments. I focus a lot on strong design, sustainable materials, and thoughtful production. I also work with a network of manufacturers who understand this approach, which makes the process smoother, especially with the new EU digital product passport requirements coming from 2027.
