Tina Ma, fashion designer and creative direction
Tina Ma is a New York fashion design consultant and creative direction with six years shaping product across Calvin Klein, Theory, Willy Chavarria, Derek Lam, and Rhone. Her range spans advanced contemporary womenswear and menswear, performance sport, eveningwear, and lingerie.
Trained at Parsons, Central Saint Martins, and LaSalle College of the Arts, across Singapore, New York, and London, she works across both concept and construction. Regular travel to mills in Italy and factories across Asia keeps her close to production reality: lead times, minimums, fabric behavior, and the compromises that keep a collection on schedule without diluting its intent.
Concept to Closet combines creative direction and production into one process instead of two separate departments. For brands, that means a design partner who can take a concept through to a finished, sellable product. For emerging designers, it means a consultant advising on what design or online platforms skip: analyzing the market, briefing a factory, reading a tech pack, protecting a vision through production.
