THE HEART OF COUTURE

Prior to the 1960s in France, both the working and upper-classes had their wardrobes custom made. Whether everyday clothing or special occasion wear, they invested in quality pieces with perfect fit, even if it meant having just a few pieces in their closet. Garments were not "thrown-away," but instead honored and mended when needed. This traditional model of slow fashion is lacking in the world today and we aspire to help combat fashion's impact on climate change with our couture work.

Emphasizing structure, silhouette and sophistication, our couture work is rooted in lingerie. Through prêt-à-porter, eveningwear, and corsetry we aim to create a world empowering our clients to explore and express their individual identities to their fullest.

THE COUTURE PROCESS

Your modern-day portal to one of the oldest Parisienne crafts - developing a custom, luxury ensemble fit to your unique measurements and style. Working one-on-one with the designer, Madame Fern, your dream garment will be born into existence. Whether corset, lingerie set, gown, kimono, or suit, we will work exclusively with you to bring the piece to life; infused with the daring, feminine spirit of "FERN."

PHASE 1

CONSULTATION (free)

Schedule an initial 15 minute call where we explore your ideas, goals and timeline for a custom creation.

PHASE 2

INITIAL FITTING & DEPOSIT

After we have discussed project goals, you will meet with Madame Fern for a private fitting where she will gather your measurements. At this time, we require a non-refundable deposit of $1000 (or $500 for any order under $1500) to secure your slot and begin the sketching process.

PHASE 3

DESIGN CONFIRMATION & FABRIC SELECTION

Once sketches have been finalized, you will select your preferred design and textiles.

A 50% down payment is required at this stage to allow for the drafting process to begin and the textiles to be ordered.

PHASE 4

FITTING

During the development process, we will create a series of samples to perfect the fit of your garment and account for any necessary adjustments. This part of the process requires at least one to two in-person fittings. At the final fitting, the remaining payment will be due to finish the piece.

PHASE 5

DELIVERY

After the fit has been finalized, we will finalize your piece and have it ready for pick up at our NYC studio or have it delivered by mail.
