Besides my line, I do customized pieces for particular clients.
I learnt the ancient techniques of couture from my French grandmother and her sisters who worked for Germain and Chanel in Paris in the 1920's .
From the delicate hand stitching finishing to the handmade embroidering,
adding to that my tailoring background .
Couture is an art form to create unique wearable pieces made by measure to the exact size and shape of the client and is a fascinating technique that requires a combination of cutting, sewing, ironing and shaping of the materials as the process unfolds creating almost sculptured garments.
As I have been alway fascinated by art and fashion history,costumes are something close to my heart and each one of them is a brand new challenge that push me forward to try new techniques and the use of the most unusual materials to recreate a character.
The most rewarding part of this one of a kind pieces, is to be able to embody the client's own vision together with the spirit of the piece itself so, when they wear them, they feel it as a second skin; their alter egos, their dreams,their treasures of the moment.
Therefore I share with each one of my clients the whole process and in the meantime, I am honored to meet amazing human beings who trust me to be the creative hand to channel their wishes.
Here is a gallery of some of those works.

Halloween costume for myself 2014
I love!!!! Halloween is my favorite festivity of the year.
I decided to break the myth of Snow White as a silly girl and imagine her coming back from death full of rage zombie warrior style,willing to take over her reign.
I used several techniques of paper mache and polyurethane resins to construct the corset and a lot of fun building the long feathers collar.
I gave it "the" touch by adding to my outfit bloody zombie contact eyes and great make up done my soul daugther Jasmine.
I went to my good friends Vincent and Jo party and had a lot of fun !
