Livia Laine

Founder & Haute Couture Atelier Director

As a graduate of modeco in Switzerland, where I received professional training in fashion design and garment construction, I systematically studied womenswear design, draping, textile application, fashion aesthetics, and brand management. Through an ongoing exploration of the interplay between art and apparel, I have formed a minimalist, signature style defined by a balance of line, proportion, and texture. Aiming to express elegant femininity and an independent spirit through a unique design language, I have established the professional expertise required to advance into haute couture and founded my eponymous brand.
