COLORS. CHILDHOOD. FLOWERS. MEMORIES.
"My inspiration comes from everywhere—color combinations, childhood memories, travels, unique moments in time and place, and the friendships that shape my world."
Concept Development
In the first stage of the design process, I define the mood of my new collection. I gather all the inspiration I’ve saved and stored—from color combinations, childhood memories, travels, unique moments, and friendships—and organise them into mood boards.
Sketching & Design Drafting
With the mood set, I bring my vision to life through detailed sketches. Each design starts with a freehand drawing, capturing different angles and exploring shapes, cuts, and delicate details that reflect the collection’s identity.
Material Selection
I carefully choose fabrics and trims from deadstock that tell the story. Each material is selected to evoke the right emotion and ensure comfort for my Mahe girls. Every detail, from the softest elastic to the smallest embellishment, and every color combination play their part in bringing the design to life.
Design Construction
I translate my sketches into precise templates for each piece, ensuring they align perfectly with the chosen materials. I incorporate my signature adjustable back design, allowing the bras to fit all circumferences, so girls only need to focus on selecting their cup size. This step brings the vision closer to reality, focusing on fit, structure, and flow.
Sampling
The first sample is born here. I bring the design to life, testing the fit, comfort, and feel on real bodies. Adjustments are made to ensure every piece looks and feels exactly as intended.
Bringing to Life
The final stage is where it all comes together. I test for comfort, durability, and that perfect feel. Once it’s flawless, it’s ready to be sewed and shared with the world, making sure every piece is as beautiful and comfy as it was meant to be.
