I am Philipp Merx (born 2000), a German pattern maker and -designer specializing in RTW street, sports, and performance wear. Based in the Netherlands, I am working on my brand CNTRFRNT, refining my approach to advanced pattern engineering and precision garment construction.  

My work emphasizes precision, craft, and practicality. I approach design with a technical mindset, creating well-tailored garments that incorporate experimental shapes. These shapes emerge through the process of using pattern-based techniques and manipulations, resulting in two- and three-dimensional designs developed in a technical way. 

I aim to create a positive, sustainable impact by crafting long-lasting, high-quality garments. Through thoughtful pattern design and durable construction, I seek to challenge conventional street, sports, and performance wear, offering pieces that are both innovative and enduring.
