The archive — forty-four pieces

Portfolio

Every garment below was drawn for one client and cut to her measurements. Nothing was made twice. Filter by commission, or open any piece to see it full size.

Photography supplied by the studio and its clients. Colour is shown as photographed — the site itself stays black and white so the work does not have to compete with it.
