I have worked with Thierry for the past two years and it is always a delightful experience!
Thierry provides us mere mortals access not only to couture, but to one-of-a-kind pieces designed to our specifications and figure. His designs are always tasteful and timeless (without being stuffy) and meticulously constructed. They are also a great value as the quality of fabric and workmanship is superior to off-the-rack designer pieces at much higher prices, which, let's be honest, are not exactly exclusive.
Thierry has a flexible workstyle and can adapt to meet his clients' needs. I like to travel and shop for fabric, but Thierry can source based on your request and also has a personal collection of unique, high-quality European fabrics from which to choose, guaranteeing a piece you won't see elsewhere. I sometimes have a very specific vision of what I want to create, which Thierry can translate and adjust to best suit me. Other times one of us has an idea and we work through it together to arrive at the perfect piece. We are a great collaborative team, but I am just as confident in his ability to meet the needs of clients who prefer to be less involved in the design and details and leave it up to him to make them look great.
Thierry's talents lie not only in designing beautiful clothes, but in creating pieces that look beautiful on the individual. I have pieces in a variety of silhouettes and fabrics and each is perfectly tailored to make me look my best. Even as we tweak along the way with more complicated pieces, I always have complete confidence in Thierry's ability to execute and can enthusiastically recommend him whether you need a buttoned-up suit for the office, off-duty attire or eveningwear for a special event...but why not make every day a special event by wearing one of...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was referred to Thierry by the wedding planner for my daughter's wedding. He had never met Thierry but had admired his creations on one of his other clients and raved about his talent. I was in need of two evening gowns within a few short months. One elegant, but slightly understated for my son's wedding and the other needed a bit more "wow factor" for my daughter's wedding less than two months later. I had no vision of what I wanted other than color, but Thierry listened and designed two vastly different, absolutely stunning dresses. I received the most amazing, unsolicited complements on his work and I can say with full honesty that he made me feel like a queen! After working with him, I have the highest regard for his creativeness, talent and diligence. He was the most amazing man to work with. Thierry's creations are elegant to the core. He was so kind, flexible and insisted on perfection even if it required more time than initially expected. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone and intend to use his services again in the future. I have no need to look for someone else. I have found perfection in Thierry. I am thrilled to have two incredible gowns but as an unexpected benefit, I believe I have also gained a friend in...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI had the loveliest experience working with Thierry at the beginning of this year. I was co-chairing a Black and White Ball at the Four Seasons and needed to wear something special. I didn't want to wear an off the rack dress that someone else might wear, so I decided to have one custom made. I got Thierry's information from my friend, who is co-owner of Chalk boutique in Evanston, and she said he does excellent work for her clients.
As soon as I arrived to his home office, I felt at ease. I have a difficult body to fit, and dresses are always a problem for me as I am top heavy, but have slender legs. Thierry drew up some ideas and by the end our first meeting we were set with a design we both loved.
Thierry is very professional, creative, meticulous and understands a women's body. He was very honest with his thoughts on what type of dress would flatter me. His style and love of fashion is very evident in his work. I'm so please with my purchase, I can't imagine buying off the rack again! My dress was beautiful and I received many compliments the night of the event. I would highly recommend Thierry any special occasion dress, or just for beautiful,...
