Discovering Studio Life

Hand embroidery remains one of the most time-intensive and rewarding aspects of couture dress construction. A single bodice can require hundreds of hours of work, with each bead, sequin, or thread placed with deliberate precision. The result is a surface that photographs cannot fully capture — it must be seen in person, in motion, in light.

In the world of haute couture, every garment begins as a conversation. Between designer and client, between tradition and innovation, between the weight of history and the lightness of imagination. Our studio has been the setting for these conversations since its founding, and each one teaches us something new about the art of making.

The selection of fabric is perhaps the most critical decision in the creation of a bespoke piece. It determines not only how the garment will look, but how it will move, how it will feel against the skin, and how it will age over time. Our team spends weeks visiting silk studios across Asia, touching bolts of silk, holding them up to the light, draping them over forms.
