Decathlon's Pattern Maker: The Hidden Art Behind Your Favorite Sportswear

Lille, France – In an insightful and charming video released by Decathlon, a young interviewer takes viewers behind the scenes of sportswear creation, speaking with Marie, a "modéliste" (pattern maker). Marie, a key figure in the design process, elucidated the complexities and rewards of her specialized role. The interview, conducted with a child's innocent curiosity, made the intricate world of pattern making accessible. Marie explained that her primary responsibility is to "realize the form of these patterns and in all sizes of clothing," emphasizing the meticulous calculations required to ensure garments fit perfectly and are aesthetically pleasing. When asked about her favorite items to create, she revealed a preference for trousers, noting, "it's a little more complicated; I like to challenge myself. There are more pieces, more complexity to make." Marie also shared the profound satisfaction she derives from her work. "It's a small pride when we see people wearing them," she stated, adding that she meticulously observes "that they are beautiful, that they fit well, and that they suit them." This personal touch underscores Decathlon's commitment to quality and user experience. The video also highlighted the scale of Decathlon's design operations, with Marie mentioning, "at Decathlon, we are 80 pattern makers." This glimpse into a vital yet often unseen aspect of product development offers a unique perspective on the journey of sportswear from concept to consumer.
