ABOUT ME

Before becoming a bridal designer, I spent 17 years as a professional ballet dancer, performing with the Hamburg Ballet and Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo. Ballet was my first love—an art form that taught me discipline, precision, and an appreciation for movement, elegance, and storytelling. It also immersed me in a world of breathtaking costumes.

But my passion for fashion was always there. I was drawn to haute couture from a young age, fascinated by the craftsmanship and beauty that go into creating garments that feel like works of art. Wedding dresses, to me, are the pinnacle of couture—a rare opportunity to design something truly extraordinary for one of the most meaningful moments in a person’s life.

But it wasn’t until my dear friend Candela asked me to design her wedding dress that I truly fell in love with the process. Seeing her walk down the aisle in a gown I had poured my heart into was a defining moment. From that first dress, I quickly found myself creating more, and before I knew it, bridal couture had become my calling.

“WHAT STARTED AS A FAVOUR FOR A FRIEND HAS CHANGED INTO MY NEW PASSION”

My Approach

My work is deeply rooted in the traditions of haute couture—

I believe a wedding gown should be more than just beautiful; it should be a masterpiece of construction, an extension of the bride’s personality, and a reflection of her most cherished dreams.

My designs are shaped by a love of refined craftsmanship—sculpted silhouettes, delicate embroidery, and intricate embellishments that elevate each piece beyond the ordinary.

Traveling the world with the ballet company exposed me to an endless array of artistic influences, from the architecture and fashion of different cultures to the rich visual history of art and design. These inspirations infuse my work, blending timeless elegance with a sense of modernity, to create gowns that are both personal and unforgettable.

What makes my work truly special is that no two dresses are ever the same. Each gown is an extension of the woman who wears it, designed to reflect her personality, her story, and how she wants to feel on one of the most important days of her life.

My Studio

I create each gown by hand in my home studio in Nice, on the French Riviera. While I welcome brides for consultations and fittings, I also work with international clients and have had the pleasure of designing gowns for brides from the UK, the US, and beyond.

Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything I do. I work exclusively with high-quality fabrics and embellishments sourced from Europe, favoring luxurious natural fibers like silk. Whenever possible, I incorporate deadstock materials to ensure sustainability without compromising on beauty. Every gown is crafted using haute couture techniques, with meticulous attention to detail—from hand embroidery to intricate embellishments—resulting in a one-of-a-kind creation that is as refined as it is personal.
