Exploring Evening Dressing

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.

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.

The fitting process is where design meets reality. It is a moment of truth, where the two-dimensional sketch becomes a three-dimensional garment on a living, breathing body. Our master fitters have an almost supernatural ability to see where a seam needs to shift by millimeters, where a dart needs to deepen, where fabric needs to be released.
