I once dreamed of seeing my gowns on store racks around the world. But something sacred has shifted. In this post, I open up about why I walked away from bridal shops—and how that decision is shaping my NYBFW 2026 debut. I’m reclaiming what matters most: creating timeless gowns as works of art for brides who value beauty, elegance, and soul.

A glimpse into the five vintage patterns I’ve added to my couture archive—each selected to study, reference, and reinterpret through my own bespoke designs. A love letter to timeless craftsmanship and inspired dressmaking.

My experience at New York Bridal Fashion Week April 2025—what I saw, what moved me, and how it shaped the vision for my own couture debut to come.

We celebrated my sister’s birthday at Cava in Connecticut—a Wicked-themed Italian restaurant draped in emerald and wonder. From the Wizard’s towering metallic head to train windows showing countryside skies, every detail felt like stepping into a story. A dinner that turned into design inspiration, reminding me that magic lives in the details.

A tender reflection from the atelier—where heirloom craftsmanship meets divine inspiration. In this couture journal entry, I share the sacred stirrings that led me back to hand-sewn beauty, bridal artistry, and the slow unfolding of bespoke wedding gown design. For brides who seek meaning in every stitch, and for those who believe fashion can be both timeless and touched by heaven.

Step inside my private atelier, where bespoke bridal gowns are born of sketch, spirit, and story. This is couture for the royal and the rare—an intimate invitation to witness beauty becoming.
