"Connecting is something I think about constantly. Connecting my vision with my client’s needs and the culture of their brand, connecting with people, and how my company connects to the vivacious history of fashion. For me designing is an expression of who I am. It is my fashion aesthetic tested again and again. I believe great fashion inspires and I see everything that comes from our private label collection as owning that quality of inspiration. It’s why I do what I do."
-Susan Krueger, founder and president

iSG creates clothes that make brands standout
iSG works with factories in South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, Canada and United States for production, procurement and quality assurance. We have offices in the United States for marketing, client communication and design. We work with key fabric and trim vendors globally who provide a transparent method of costing to meet brand
initiatives.
The challenge is realizing our clients’ ideas. The results of this not only make them look good but their customers look good too. The starting point for this is design: how best to take a nascent collection and transpose it to paper
Once designed, the collection requires fabric. Fabric determines everything. We source our materials and trims from long-established vendors around the world who present the most contemporary inventories found in the marketplace.
The blueprint with which to define and execute styling, construction, fit, and bill of materials is the Tech Pack. Tech Pack development allows the garment factory to produce a prototype and provide a base cost.
Essentially, iSG is the factory. We are the extension and liaison of our materials and manufacturing sources. The price is the culmination of fabric, design, transportation, duty and margins. In retail, this is the formula successful brands follow.
