Couture Consultations

The journey to a custom LOOK IN COUTURE creation begins with a personalized consultation. These private appointments offer the opportunity to discuss your vision, explore possibilities, and begin the collaborative process that results in a truly unique garment.

Our couture consultations take place in dedicated private suites within our Beirut Hub, creating an intimate atmosphere conducive to creative discussion. Whether you're envisioning a wedding gown, evening dress, or special occasion ensemble, this initial meeting lays the foundation for bringing your dream to reality.

Your couture journey begins the moment you enter our atelier. You'll be welcomed by your dedicated design consultant who will guide you through the entire process. The initial consultation typically unfolds in several phases:

Vision & Inspiration: We begin by discussing your vision – the occasion, how you want to feel, any inspirations you've collected, and practical considerations like venue and timing. Feel free to bring images, fabric swatches, or other visual references that capture elements you love. This conversation helps us understand not just what you want your garment to look like, but the emotion and experience you want it to embody.

Design Exploration: Your consultant will share relevant examples from our previous work and discuss design possibilities that align with your vision. We'll explore silhouettes that complement your body type, necklines that flatter your features, and details that express your personal style. This collaborative discussion helps refine your ideas into a cohesive design concept.

Fabric Selection: Experiencing fabrics firsthand is a crucial part of the consultation. You'll be introduced to a curated selection from our fabric library based on your design direction – from luxurious silks and satins to intricate laces and embellished textiles. We'll discuss the properties of each fabric, how they drape, move, and interact with light, helping you make informed choices that support your vision.

Technical Considerations: We'll discuss practical aspects like timeline, the fitting process, and any specific requirements for your occasion. For bridal consultations, we'll address considerations like bustling options, train length, and how the dress will photograph from different angles.

Next Steps & Pricing: Your consultant will outline the subsequent stages of the couture process, including sketching, pattern-making, fittings, and completion. We'll provide a general pricing framework based on the design direction and fabric choices discussed, with a detailed quote to follow once the design is finalized.

Post-Consultation: Following your appointment, you'll receive a summary of the discussion, including any preliminary sketches or notes, and a formal quote for your consideration. This allows you time to reflect on the options discussed before proceeding to the next stage of the couture journey.
