Private Styling and Design
What's the point of a Stylist if they can't make your clothes fit you properly?
My skills are both creative and technical, I am able to offer personal styling with tailoring outcomes. I am personally able to tailor garments and I also work with a number of top tier tailors and dressmakers.
I am skilled in styling women's wear and menswear for for professional and leisure settings. I only work with a small number of personal clients who require ongoing services:
-
Style and image advice.
-
Tailoring of existing garments for better fit/managing mending and care.
-
Design and production (or management) of Suits male/female/other.
-
Design of costume/ art direction and production for private events.
If you require someone to update, tailor and plan your wardrobe in an ongoing manner, please email me.
Costume Design/Manufacture
I offer custom design and production services for entertainment companies and for individuals, for performance or for partying.
Step 1. The Brief
Send me an email detailing your project and the desired dates for completion. Please include any reference images, sketches and questions. We will get in touch to discuss your budget and schedule a consultation.
Step 2. Consultation - Design and Planning (larger productions will be negotiated).
To book a consultation there will be a fee of $250 to cover our time preparing sketches and resources. We will take measurements and discuss sketches, fabrics and materials, pricing and create a production plan. You will be provided with a quote (valid for 30 days) and a detailed design plan for your sign off. We require 80% upfront payment within 30 days to hold your place in our production schedule.
Step 3. Prototyping
Next, a 'toile' or prototype will be made, and we will book the 1st fitting. The prototype will ensure that the fit is right and that the 'mechanics' of the costume perform as expected. This fitting is critical to ensuring that the final garment will require few to no alterations. Only minor changes to the design will be possible after this step.
Step 4. Fit & Fine-tuning
Once the final garment/ensemble is created, we will schedule a 2nd fitting and plan any final details. On the completion of the costume, I require the final 20% payment before the product is collected.
