custom. design
I work with you to curate custom experiences that feel collaborative and tailored to your needs. No matter the occasion, we work together to design one-of-a-kind pieces that last. I welcome working with individuals working through their gender indentity, disability or orientation and am honoured to design something that feels comfortable in your skin.
Initial consultations take approximately one hour and can be done virtually or in person. Typically I recommend in-person visits to browse in-house fabric options.
If the idea you have is outside the confines of the in-house fabric options, we’ll select from a range of online and local fabrics to make your piece.
This part goes in tandem with the Sample Making stage and continues towards the end of the project! It’s the part where we get to see the final product finally come to life.
Designing your piece can happen either before, during or after our consultation. We sketch your dream idea and come up with a plan of action and production guide.
Depending on the complexity of your garment, a sample is made to test the fit and overall style of your design. For more straight-forward patterns or designs, this step is skipped. If it’s an avant-guard or couture piece, this process is mandatory.
The time has come! Your piece is ready to be worn and loved. Delivery is available within Canada and UK and pick-ups and final fittings are done in-house at the studio in Vancouver. This is the time to revel in it, snap some awesome photos and strut your stuff!
