We aspire to make apparel design, development, and production accessible for emerging designers.

While we specialize in womenswear, we love working on new ideas and niche products — including soft accessories, bags, and even pet apparel! We’re here to collaborate with you and your team like a true partner, sharing our industry expertise to help start your apparel brand, grow your product line, and ultimately bring the best version of your vision to life. 

Rule Design & Development began in 2018 with the goal of sharing a realized apparel design and development experience on a firsthand basis. We opened with select service offerings including material sourcing, pattern-drafting, sample-making, and private fitting sessions.

Over time, Rule DD expanded to provide full-service packages inclusive of all technical requisites across apparel design, development, and production processes. In 2023, Rule DD refined the focus of our services from implementation to high-level conceptual consultation.

After designing, developing, and producing hundreds of products in Los Angeles, our team is poised with answers and advice to help get you (and your ideas) where you want to go with efficiency and ease.
