Entering a designer's atelier has its own unique meaning. Here, you converse with those who conceive, design, and construct the garment, and That proximity completely changes the way one imagines a dress as a bride.
The direct meeting with the creator, the artistic vision, the years of experience, and support that covers the entire process are the territory we explore with the designers of Malne in this interview, which explains why being received by them transforms the relationship with the garment and with the moment that is about to be experienced.
Why choose designers and not a bridal shop?
In a store you are served by saleswomen, in a haute couture atelier like Malne La Maison, you are served by the designers themselves and the team. It's a remarkable difference.
How do you choose the ideal wedding dress designer when you're looking for something truly yours?
Every bride has an idea in her mind of how she wants her wedding to be and looks for designers who fit with her idea.
Why does the first meeting with designers change the way you imagine the dress?
Many times brides have seen a photo of your designs and think that it might suit them, but we are professionals and we know how to guide the bride towards the design that will suit her best. And they are surprised. The dress must be designed professionally, in keeping with your brand's style, and incorporating the information the bride herself shares about her tastes and needs, along with our keen eye for analyzing her personality and potential radiance. The result surpasses initial expectations, and that's wonderful for the bride.
How to understand the budget of a custom-made wedding dress based on the value of the design, the fabric, and the process?
The difference between a wedding dress made using an industrial pattern-making process and one made with a freehand pattern, based on your measurements and a unique design, is a significant difference in cost and also in the final result. Stores with pre-made collections use alteration seamstresses to make the garment (made using that mass-produced industrial process) fit the body. That's not thinking about the bride., It's selling a dress. That's why you're served by shop assistants. And that's why that business is slowly declining.
