Kayla's wedding day was going to be special....as every brides wants. The right flowers, the right dress and finally the right date (not an easy feat for anyone who married during a pandemic)!

Her everyday signature look is also black....all the time....and she wanted to honour this.

The black lace bodice was beaded French alençon lace with an Italian black peau de soie skirt.

Our goal was a clean look à la Dior.

Mission accomplished 💕

The frequency with which brides had to pivot their dream weddings over the last few years was substantial.

Even the attire changed. Choices were more personal, sustainable and intentional. Never before have I seen such a strong trend for alternative style choices. I'm loving it.

It's good to have lofty goals, it keeps you challenged. Pro tip: make sure you also have an arsenal of talented friends who can support your goals 😂🥰.

Big thanks to Kyle for directing me on this jacket. It took me a hot minute....but the client was patient and thrilled in the end.

In a world of fast fashion, bespoke design comes as a relief.
👰

Designing for Brittany was pure joy. Our meetings brought levity during a pandemic and it was inspiring to design for someone who lives her words on sustainability and supporting Edmonton talent.
🥰

Brittany's is a mindful story ....I know many will be able to identify with her.⏬

Brittany asked her Mom if she could redesign her wedding gown from the 80s. After retrieving from a Tupperware her Mom comments...."Are you sure? I mean, if you want, take it! I don't plan on wearing it again. I hope it brings you many years of marital bliss like it you did us." Now tossing it into a plastic bag.🛍️

Brittany recalls...." A friend of mine referred me to Kathleen, and I reached out to see if she would be interested in helping me reenvision my Mom's gown. I was excited by an opportunity to get to work with the local respected atelier on a project that would have so much meaning."

"I wanted to pay homage to my Mom's original gown, but modernize with a nod to my own personal style. I've always been a fan of structure and drape and showed Kathleen inspirations from Vivienne Westwood,Iris Van Herpen & Issey Miyake. I remember leaving the studio that day and feeling even more excited about the idea of paying tribute to my mom by wearing the same dress, bur re-imagined."
✏️📐📏
"After finalizing the design, I met with Kathleen to try on a prototype in February 2020. We planned on getting married in December that year. And we all know what happened next. Like everyone we hit pause. Fast forward to the end of 2021 and I decided it was best for us to push the wedding to December 2022. By this time, my husband and I had changed the concept and the vision for our wedding. I asked Kathleen if we could remove the structured top from the gown and rebuild it into a top that I could pair with a wide leg silk trouser. And then we began designing 2.0 with the dress."

"In July 2022, Kathleen finally got to meet my Mom during the final stages. Through teary eyes, she whispered 'you look beautiful' as I stood in front of the mirror and Kathleen made the last round of adjustments."

This is why I design bespoke.💕

Thanking all of my clients this past year for their interest in bespoke design!

You permitted me to push your wardrobe limits and bring you into a world that's very different than fast fashion.

Looking forward to seeing you in the new year and wishing all of you just a ducky 2023!!

So happy to be a part of another stunning photo shoot with .yyc behind the 📸 and profiling my designs with a relaxed beauty and confidence that she naturally brings to every situation.

Read Nicole's article....it's witty, truthful and sage advice for women of any age.
Nicole's point is that age is a state of mind...no joke....at a scientific level. I'm with her in that I'm always in a state of a young mind. After reading this, I'm relieved. I'm still trying to get over millennials thinking I'm 80...whatever kiddos.

"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."

Wishing Erin and Chris a wonderful summer wedding tomorrow.

Client profile!
💕💕💕

A few weeks ago Claire attended the Edmonton Chamber Ball to celebrate with colleagues 🥂
🎊

I often like to ask clients why they have chosen bespoke over ready -to -wear.

Claire -"I felt that it would be difficult to find something appropriate and that fit well. And I wanted to feel confident about what I was wearing. I remembered seeing the studio in the Mercer building and had been thinking about it for a few years. And the right occasion finally presented itself!"
👗

When asked how the dress reflected her style....

Claire -"It's more vibrant than I would usually choose as I really wanted to celebrate our emergence from the lonely years of the pandemic.
🎨

I asked her for the highlight of the Chamber Ball....

Claire -"The cover band was fantastic, so I'd have to say the highlight was the dance floor with a great group of colleagues!"
💃🕺

The relationship with clients reaches far beyond designing a desired garment. Being a part of their joy of life's celebration adds rich context to the design process.

Supporting slow fashion gives greater meaning to an event....even if it's the event of 'everyday'.

Thank you Claire💕
