KJ PRODUCTION HOUSE - Key Persons

Karen Jakab is an experienced fashion production industry expert, having worked in the fashion industry for nearly 23 years. Karen has worked for some of the best fashion labels in Australia and has had the pleasure of working with 100's of talented designers of all ages bringing their ideas to life. Earlier on, after studying at the Whitehouse School of fashion for many years and learning the theoretical aspects of the fashion industry, Karen decided that she wanted to follow the path of becoming a production manager, rather than a designer - a different path at the time from many of her peers, however she has never looked back. Karen has previously worked as a production manager for labels such as Charlie Brown, Table Eight, Johnny Dexter, Howard Showers and Lilli where she gained valuable knowledge and insight into both local and offshore large scale production planning and management. Over recent years, Karen's experience has broadened again to include managing an office of fashion production personnel as well as working with hundreds of designers on the full facet of production management. Starting KJ Production House was the next logical step in her career. Karen already has an extensive supplier network and other professional industry experts supporting and working with her including pattern makers, cutters, machinists and makers. She has a solid reputation in the fashion industry and she has proven time and time again that she can make things happen in the most cost effective and timely manner.
