Who Made My Clothes? 
Clare is co-founder and designer of Mandatory and the Director of the whole operation. She started out managing the manufacturing workroom and moved to shop floor during the GFC, often coordinating manufacturing at night. These days she buys cloth and co-designs the range, coordinates the manufacturing schedule and works alongside the managers of both sites. She is responsible for some of the longest selling designs in the store. She handles the trickiest of suiting, casual fittings, and draft patterns. Clare also consults on wardrobes for busy men. She keeps regular weekly shifts on the shop floor and works hard to be the great boss she is constantly praised as being.

This week is Fashion Revolution week and we are welcoming transparency by profiling the small team of makers behind Mandatory with the aim to answer the campaign question: #whomademyclothes

Who Made My Clothes? Fiona is the co-founder of Mandatory and the brain behind some of Mandatory’s most loved pieces. She works in the studio once a week to design knit pieces, consult on the range direction and keeps the company true to its original vision in an ever-changing industry.

Fashion Revolution is a global movement calling for greater transparency, sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry. All this week we’ll be profiling the small team behind Mandatory with the aim to answer the campaign question: #whomademyclothes
