The Couture Process

        The couture design process is just that, a process, but it is beautiful and artistic. Here at Lucio Vanni Bridal & Couture, customers get the treatment of a movie star, a couture gown or bridal garment designed specifically for them. The Lucio Vanni team wants to let you in on the magic that happens throughout the process of creating a garment from and seeing it brought to life. 
        The design process begins with inspiration. For one of our recent customers who wanted a Mother of the Bride, as well as a Red Carpet and Evening gown, the inspiration came from the customers idea from her daughter’s wedding flowers and colors, as shown below.

       From the wedding flowers, came the color inspiration of beautiful blues, followed by the sketch, also known as the illustration, drawn specifically for our clients. The illustration is a gorgeous sketch that begins the fabrication and garment creation process.  Next in the couture process is to acquire the fabric and materials needed to bring the sketch to life, as well as designing the print to be applied to the fabric chosen. Once the graphic design pattern is drawn out, a fabric sample is printed, and if met to designer standards, the fabric is purchased.

       Lastly, the physical garment creation process begins. Measurements are taken of each client, and then the garment model is started. The fabric is pinned, layed, and dropped in perfect positions to accentuate each client and stay true to the illustration that began it all. Once the garment is constructed, its time to fit the garment perfectly to the clients likings and measurements. Once everything is in place, our designer Vanni finishes the gown by making sure every stitch and print is placed perfectly. The final creation is one of elegance and beauty, that all began with an inspiration turned into a sketch.
