Started over 30 years ago, Patterns World Inc. is a 3rd generation family-owned small business located in the historical Garment District of downtown Los Angeles. The business was originally started by Iskuhi, the matriarch of the family who fled Communist Russia to follow her love of fashion. During a time of socialist prosecution, she managed to teach garment making for 30+ years in Armenia until she was allowed to migrate to the United States through the help of Dianne Feinstein.

The company did not reach its full potential until Zara, her daughter, opened the first location in the famous Cooper Design Space after she graduated from FIDM with honors. Zara elevated her skillset of pattern and garment making to a whole new level when she started working with fashion industry elites from all over the world. Her clients varied from celebrities, designers, and companies such as Oakley, Ugg Australia. She was instrumental in creating the first denim fit for Seven Jeans when they first launched, which led to a very successful partnership with the original owners. She also created pieces for the Red Carpet on many occasions and the film industry. She was truly a gifted patternmaker, who was sought out by some of the best in the industry until her passing in 2011.

Today, the company is owned and operated by Zara’s daughter, Kristine, who's an established designer herself. Her RTW collection, Tristan + Trista was sold all over the world in the early ’20s until she took over the family business to continue her family's legacy. Currently, Kristine manages and runs the company atelier, which helps new and established designers produce their collections. The company fully supports designer autonomy over their brands and strives to bring high-end quality to luxury brands all over the US and abroad. The company fully believes and supports the movement to preserve "the art of fashion” with emphasis on handmade crafted pieces with an "old world" skillset and knowledge passed down generationally. Patterns World Inc.'s ethos believes in bringing back “old school” integrity of handmade craftsmanship to Los Angeles; an identity that the garment industry of Los Angeles has struggled with for decades.

Kristine is currently in the process of expanding to a second location in Milan, Italy. By offering two locations, Kristine hopes to bridge the entertainment and fashion centers of the world, thus benefiting all those who dream before they create.
