What our clients say


What our clients say


Israel restored my faith that high quality garments can still be produced at small scale. A rare craftsman keeping a dying art alive. I'm continuing to work with him.

N/ERA

He understood the materials constraints and production requirements immediately. The specs are clean, precise, and factory-ready with extensive `technical details. Would highly recommend for any technical project.

Arevian

Israel is sharp, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with. Communication was clear, turnaround was fast, and feedback was handled seamlessly. The quality was spot on!

FNTKS is a technical fashion agency built around one idea — that construction is its own aesthetic. We work at the intersection of production rigour and deconstructivist design.


Founded by a technical designer and patternmaker with in-house and consulting experience across major fashion houses, the studio turns concept into build-ready reality for independent labels and established brands.
