Coordinated service

A network of professional graduate studios.

In addition to our main Queens office, selected work can be coordinated at fully equipped studios operated by graduates who now earn their living through garment making and fashion design.

These are not commercial storefronts with exterior signs and they do not accept walk-ins. We first review the garment, confirm the appropriate professional and send directions to the most convenient studio.

Our vision is to grow this network across five states, bringing services and instruction closer to clients and students. Coverage depends on the area and current availability.

Beyond alterations

Your idea can become a one-of-a-kind garment.

We also design and construct garments from scratch. You may begin with a photograph, sketch, special occasion or simply an idea. From there, we define the silhouette, develop an exclusive pattern, select materials and complete the necessary fittings until the piece is made for you.
