COUTURE PROCESS

Meaningful garments for a meaningful life.

Every garment is exclusively made-to-order for one client, on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a design is spoken for, it will not be recreated—only customized adaptations may be considered through a highly personalized approach. This ensures each piece remains distinct, reflecting the client’s individuality and the timeless craftsmanship behind every stitch.

Only a select number of orders may be fulfilled each season. Once seasonal capacity is reached, new inquiries and additional orders will be placed on a waiting list for future consideration. This allows us to maintain the integrity of our process and devote the time each garment deserves.

Step 1 | Request a Consultation

Begin by contacting our team via email to schedule your virtual consultation. We will coordinate a video call with David Pedroza, who will listen to your vision and guide you toward the perfect silhouette and design tailored just for you.

Step 2 | Initial Design Session

During the first consultation, you’ll discuss your inspiration, needs, and preferences. David will guide and begin shaping your custom design. A second consultation may be required to finalize the vision, using sketches, fabric swatches, and photo references.

Step 3 | Fabric Selection

All fabrics are hand-selected from the best European mills, chosen for their exceptional quality, color richness, and luxuriousness.

Step 4 | Measurements

Once design reaches approval stage, David will request your precise measurements. You’ll either be guided to a trusted local tailor or, if located in NYC, meet with David in person. These measurements will be used to create a custom dress form mirroring your body.

Step 5 | Toile Creation and Fittings

A toile—a prototype made in cotton muslin—is crafted for the first fitting. If significant changes or intricate beading are needed, a second or even third toile may be created to perfect the fit before the final fabric is cut.

Step 6 | Final Fittings

Multiple fittings may follow to refine every detail. These will be conducted either by David or a vetted tailor near your location to ensure a flawless fit and silhouette.

Every step of the process is handled with the utmost care, craftsmanship, and dedication to haute couture standards—ensuring a design experience as exquisite as the final garment itself.
