I don't get your user case...
are you receiving
1) a KiCAD pcb board from your fashion designer
or
2) the enclosure for your board, coming from the fashion designer
or
3) the outline of the pcb in external format

The 1) is quite a weird case... your fashion designer should us 
mechanical sw to define the board outlines

The 2) case is totally on your control...
you need to use a mechanical sw to create pcb outline fitting your enclosure

The same for the 3) case, you can fix the file before importing inside 
kicad.
