“The atelier reflects the way I work and fulfills expectations, it speaks of its-own and creates the environment of a dreamland.”
An appointment is an essential part of the design process. It gives us an opportunity to explain how the team works and what goes into creating a one-of-a-kind garment. During the appointment we will discuss sketches, silhouettes, colors, fabrics, patterns, fittings and the ultimate goals for the finished design. You will also have an opportunity to see how we work and why we are the best team to create your dream dress. The number of appointments required varies according to the needs of our client. When placing special orders such as cocktail dresses, evening gowns and wedding dresses we like to work very closely with the client in order to ensure a perfect fit and the finest quality workmanship.
An appointment allows us the opportunity to work closely with you so that we can provide you with a signature collection that you can be proud of. Our high quality production and attention to detail means that every piece is hand-crafted and hand-stitched guaranteeing the finest quality. We also work closely with stylists and personal shoppers providing premium items for an array of special events including red carpet affairs and celebrity driven functions.
For custom made pieces we take the lead from our clients and we strive to meet the highest standards possible. We bring the sketches to life with your fabric selection and hours of impeccable hand stitched work resulting in a perfectly tailored, haute couture creation. We create a prototype based on our client’s measurements in order to ensure that every wish is met. Once a prototype is complete and the client is satisfied, we use the finalized pattern to construct the agreed upon garment.
A contract of agreement will be signed once a specific sketch is decided upon. A contract signed will clearly state that the design, pattern and prototype are prohibited from being sold to any other client or a third party for any reason. The pattern shall remain in our archives for the client’s future reference.
