The Royal Atelier

STYLE

With the great variety of fashion trends that are out there in the world it is important to me that every man and woman finds his or her personal style. Through many years of experience, I have developed a feel for what is the best for my clients, and although I can always advise a client as to what is good for her the "choice" must be hers. To surpass in this occupation, whilst always aiming for perfection, one requires a sense for colours and forms, a sense which certainly cannot be learnt. I always work to select the most beautiful and advantageous cuts for my clients. It is great when a client and I find out the strengths and, perhaps, some weak points of her body and can therefore select exactly that dress or costume in which she looks breathtaking and feels totally comfortable and confident. In a well chosen costume there is a place for many moods.

Travelling to Paris twice a year to the Haute Couture shows enables me to keep myself fully up to date as to what the topical fashion trends are for the coming season. In this way I not only travel to one of my favourite cities but am able to keep my finger very much on the pulse! With me, one will always find a very large but wholly exclusive collection which ranges from cocktail dresses to wedding gowns through to the most elegant city fashion. For the lovers of traditional costumes I also create a variety of national dresses for many of my clients.

What makes style? - “Personality! Age is not a question.

I believe that childhood and youth today are more difficult to master than life from, say, 30 onwards. Knowledge, experience distance, generosity to ones self as well as to others, patience and appreciation of time. If one is curious, attentive, couragous and tolerant.
